My introduction to this film was this song playing on one of the TV channels.
It gave me the impression that the film was fresh and fun.
Farhan Akthar plays Karthik Narayan, the CA – IIM graduate who works for a construction company. He has an eye for detail, and the ability to stretch. He also has the ability to never say no, which his boss makes use of to saddle him with more work. Shonali Mukherjee (Deepika Padukone) is the girl he likes. She works in the same office, and has never noticed him.
Things change when he receives a call from Karthik, and begins to stand up for himself. In the process, the viewer is shown glimpses of schizophrenia . At no stage is his disorder glamourised, and I thought this was the strength of the film. There were moments in the second half that would have benefitted from better editing.
A nice touch was to introduce Escher - his work finds a place of honour in Karthik’s house towards the end of the film.
The question on my mind is - could this be a true account?
