And it is quite strange for viewers as the effects of that trauma are seen after so many years. In Karthik Calling Karthik, it’s a childhood incident that has led to a trauma hidden within him. But these movies, do they provide a justification for the conditions of their characters? As it is an important part to make the audience aware and that’s when the past life of a character comes into the frame. Talking about Karthik Calling Karthik, it did justice to the story of people who deal with such psychological disorders. Even before ‘3’ it was Bollywood’s Karthik Calling Karthik which raised talk about psychological factors. As a note at the end of the film talks about it, making it crystal clear. Unlike Devrai, this film might seem like an ode to romance yet it highlights the talks of Psychological Disorders in the society like ours where superstition too has its equal share in the minds of people. Ram’s ( Dhanush ) obsession with Janani (Shruti Haasan) takes a drastic turn after he’s diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder. With ‘Devrai’ being the first film which talked about Schizophrenia, a Marathi film which was released back in 2004 but here especially talking about the 2012 Tamil film ‘3’ which introduced me to the genre of Psychological Thrillers. Even if the Indian Cinema lagged behind when it came to putting across psychological factors as a theme but it is really great to know that many regional movies did it before the mainstream could.
