Shashanka Ghosh\u2018s thriller, Freddy, starring Kartik Aaryan and Alaya F, did not reveal anything from the teaser. It was just like an introduction video, and then there was no trailer to give us even a little idea about the story of the film. I would say the makers\u2019 decision was right. Having a trailer for a thriller like this would have spoiled many things before watching the film. You start watching a film with no idea about the story and literally no expectations, and then suddenly thrilling aspects take you by surprise. If you remember watching old Hollywood\u2019s femme fatale noirs, then Freddy might seem like an adaptation of the same, but then the second half changes a lot for the film. It\u2019s a much-wanted male-pleasing thriller that goes into a plausible revenge zone after the outdated femme fatale formula in the first half. Freddy (Kartik Aaryan) is a dentist. He is a shy, coward and unconfident guy who finds it difficult to deal with the girls. The only friend he has is his little turtle. It\u2019s been 5 years on the matrimonial site, but Freddy hasn\u2019t found a perfect match, or rather, is rejected by many girls. He meets Kainaaz (Alaya F) at a party and approaches her, only to get kicked down by her husband. You can predict it even in dreams that Kainaaz and Freddy slowly fall for each other. Madly in love with her, Freddy is led towards a crime he may have never thought about all his life. But does his so-called soulmate really love him? Or there will be a big game behind it? Freddy is stunned by the conspiracies, and then decides to go for a revenge that nobody could trace.<\/p>\n

Technically, Freddy is a challenging film, and that\u2019s why it had a high scope. Somewhere, the level is not up to the mark. I was expecting a little more. And not to forget that you guys are gonna watch the film on small screens of mobile, laptop or TV, while I was lucky enough to catch it on a big screen, with air conditioning on high cooling giving me more reasons to quiver. You would miss that atmosphere, and that\u2019s why find it underwhelming. The background score and cinematography seemed better, though. Shashanka Ghosh had a lukewarm film like Plan A Plan B, but Freddy isn\u2019t that cold. It has some really good scenes that invent a new formula, a new answer to the outdated femme fatale tales. Let\u2019s call it a \u201cMale-Pleasing\u201d thriller. We don\u2019t really get many as such. It would be interesting to see how Kartik\u2018s female fans react to it. Overall, an above-average film, boosted by Kartik Aaryan\u2018s best performance to date.\n<\/p><\/div>\n
