What's with the Karthik's ?!

I'm firstly more than surprised that i did not blog for 2 months now. And what's worse ? I finally have a follower for my Blog ! Thanks Tarun !. So where do we start today ? Well this topic today has been in my mind for sometime cause its about a certain name that I'm speaking about. Let me make it clear this has nothing to do with the people who have their name as "Karthik" in real life .

I got the first flavor of this name when i was watching a movie called Kadhal Desam on the silver screen. Vineeth portrayed this character as a person who is from a very ordinary background and is struggling for a career. And the latest taste of the same name came in Vinnaithandi Vaaruvaaya. I'm sure one realizes what i meant in the title now. Well its a pretty comic topic but i take pity for the guys who are named Karthik for the way most movies are made with this name as one of the characters. Let me start off in a reverse chronology so that people understand it easy.

First things first VTV is by far the best love story I've seen with emotions so well shown that even though the story's narration was slow you wouldn't bother minding it. So what happens to the Karthik here ? Well, Jessie leaves him for her parents and our Mr. Karthik is left alone for a modern age Devdas. Though for a change he makes his love story as his first movie. So which reduced some business for the Wine shops.

Then comes Karthik calling Karthik,I dont want to talk much about this movie cause he himself is a psychopath and there is nothing i can blame on Shonali played by Deepika for the way he turns out as a loser.

Third comes Theeradha Villayatu Pillai which was simultaneously released in telugu as Khiladi, I wonder what sought of Khiladi he turns out to be though, I find this Karthik as a jerk for the sole reason that when people here find it tough for one committed relationship he has 3 and also expects to choose the best amongst them. And the name Karthik even more defamed.

I dont want to keep prolonging it for too long cause all Karthik's have been this way apart from the Karthik who "Vaazhanji Fiyed" at Shakthi in Alaipayuthey who ended up the best amongst the lot even though there were hick up's even in his case.

Let me list the Karthik's in simple now,

1. Karthik - VTV- Jessi leaves him.
2. Karthik - KCK - You know it.
3. Karthik - Theeradha Villayatu Pillai - A total jerk !
4. Karthik - Sarvam - What pity ?! Sandhya dies !
5. Karthik - Unnale Unnale - Jhansi does not understand his love.
6. Karthik - Santhosham - Padhu dies ! He gets a second chance luckily though.
7. Karthik - Rhythm - Aruna dies !
8. Karthik - Kadhal Desam - She wants him to be friends ?!!!

I'm sure one would be wondering why bother so much about this name when there are so many other names that could be bothered about.Well this could be coincidence or may be just sentiments for an unconventionally ending movie to have this name but does disappoint me for all the Karthik's in real life for their name to be portrayed as a loser almost every time by these directors. And for people who dint know I'm a Karthik as well. And I'm scared looking at the sequence.
