Freddy

Freddy is a successful dentist looking for the right girl to settle down and have a family with. Freddy has a problem though. His best and seemingly only friend is his turtle, Hardy, and he's shy, awkward and lacks the confidence to feel comfortable around women. His attempts at dating are huge failures but he hopes to find his soulmate. When he meets a beautiful married woman, begins seeing her as a patient and begins to stalk her. His stalking pays off when she agrees to and starts seeing him on a regular basis. He allows himself to fall for her but he's devastated to learn her marriage is abusive. He begins to pursue her with more vigor and as they both fall in love, they must find a way to overcome the obstacle that is her husband. Things take a sinister turn and a game of cat and mouse begins.

I enjoyed this. It was very well acted and the story brings about a great sense of compassion for Freddy's situation. It had a few predictable moments but it was a well thought out movie and one must give credit where credit is due. This gets a solid recommendation from me and although it's not full of action or suspense, I'd still suggest it for people who enjoy a slow thriller.

Freddy is an engaging thriller indeed. Every actor did a superb job. Script is tight and on point. However, it suffers from the same problem that most thriller movies suffer from. Every character leaves a mountain of circumstantial and forensic evidence that is very conveniently ignored. Cops are so naive like they were born yesterday.

A strong man sits on the chest of another man and punches on his right cheek and jaw with all his might at least 10 times. And yet, there is no broken tooth, broken cheek or jawbone or broken gums. Just a slight bleeding and the victim gets up completely fine.

If you are willing to ignore such absurdities, Freddy will keep you glued for 2 hours.

This is probably the best performance of Kartik Aryan to date. SRK had bazigar. Kartik has Freddy. Only that Freddy is nothing like a regular commercial movie. This movie is gripping and storyline is tight. There are some flaws but ignorable for the most part. Pooja Bedis daughter has evolved a bit. All have acted well but Kartik does stand out. It doesn't have cliches and you feel like you want to know what is coming next. Ending is quite good as well. Not your conventional movie ones. I can only say in the end that you have to watch it to believe it. You won't regret it at all. This actor is the next superstar.

The movie could have been half as long as it is and been a bit better. So many stretched scenes it got boring!

If this is what people in India are rating high then it's a shame ! Indians need to raise their expectations higher so they don't get fed this crap repeatedly!

Karthik Aryan's acting is a below average actor. Is there such a dearth of good Indian actors that below average like Krthik Aryan are being hailed a hero?!! And I am no fan of the Khans or Kapoors or Kumars either! I wish we had the era back of Devanand ... Jewel Thief was a true thriller. This movie is a blot on thrillers.

No other actor in this movie is even worth noting or wasting any words on in my review!

As another user said, maybe they wasted all their money on Karthik Aryan and had none left for Story or Direction! Shame on Bollywood cinema. They seriously need to up their game.

FANTASTIC FILM, maybe not for the weak hearted or younger audience. I'm so glad I watched the film before reading some of these nonsense reviews. It is honestly well worth watching. This film was well written, well, produced and well executed. Fantastic acting by Kartik as always. It was a fresh idea from Bollywood, not the same old same old love story chewed up and rewritten with a million songs. Even with some new unknown mewcomers they fit nicely with the film amd plot, all round great acting from the main actress, its a murder mystery with a twist. Love from the UK great. We all loved it..
