(Spoiler Alert!) In case you wish to watch the movie, kindly read this post once you are done watching it( Thats hoping the movie is still in theaters that long :))

The protgonoist of the movie, Kathik is portrayed initally as an introvert, who doesnt drink, who doesnt smoke, too shy to talk to girls, can not dance, never been to disc, in short the director would have us think unsophisticated, uncool, unhip, no life, nothing nill nada!!
Hes bullied by his landlord, his boss, his colleagues, the girl he has a crush on is going around with another guy.
So basically hes an introvert loser!!!, after series of events proving how big a loser he is, he decides to end his life, when he gets a call from...(wait with bated breath :P) you guessed it right,himself(Karthik calling Karthik, get it? :P) giving him a 101 on how to become sophisticated, cool, hip and on how to get a life. So hes basically an introvert loser whos Schizophrenic ( i seriouly cannot pronounce this word, every time i try, i end up sayin schezwan rice, so am i dyslexic? :P). So now the protogonist is suddenly overnight transformed just by having a conversation with himself into sophisticated, hip and cool guy who blackmails his boss(Er, thats what sophisticated, cool guys do, didnt you know? :P) to get back his job with better package. Wins over the girl and everythign seems to be getting perfect. Untill, he pisses off his Schizophrenic self by deciding to tell his newly won girl friend about the calls he gets from er, himself. :P. After which his Schizophrenic self goes about ruining his life.
Now how did i feel about the movie?
Well, I am an introvert by nature, i dont drink, i dont smoke, i dont dance, hell i cant even jiggy when i am alone, I dont have a girl friend,I see a pretty girl,i am too afraid to even look at her thinking she might think i am ogling, so you can forget me going and trying to talk. Now watching the profound portrayal of the character, i am thinking to myself, "Sheesh man i need to get a life, so when will i get a call from myself". But wait a minute, i am not Schizophrenic. So bang goes my chance of , becoming sophisticated, cool, blackmailing my boss to give me a raise, winning over a pretty girl and getting a life:P.
Thanks Vijay Lalwani!!! I am in introvert, let me now go meet a shrink to figure out how i can get calls from myself and get a life!
If you are an intovert and not Schizophrenic, then i would advise you to do the same! :P
P.S: Dont get me wrong, this was just an opinion of a very un-opinionated person :P
The movie is descent enough except for the cliched portrayal and a predictable story line :P. I would give it 2 out of 5. See, there you go i am nice person, BUT not Schizophrenic, unfortunately!!! :P
