What is the psychological fact behind movie 'Kartik calling Kartik'?

 In the film Karthik calling Karthik, Farhan Akhtar suffers from schizophrenia and alter ego.

An introvert Karthik holds himself responsible for his brother’s untimely death due to a childhood incident. He fails to understand reality and exhibits abnormal social behaviour. A person with schizophrenia often mixes reality and fiction.

A delusioned Karthik finds it difficult to distinguish between external reality and internal thoughts. His chaotic work environment worsens his situation and he decides to end up his life.

The Alter Ego:

He starts receiving his own voice messages. He would wake up in the night, leave messages for himself and then receive them at a specific time in the morning.

He gives suggestions to himself and there is a good change in his personal life. His alter ego threatens him not to reveal his calls to anyone and if he does, his life will be ruined.

Here the mystery caller is the manifestation of his own alter ego who offer him advices. In one way a secondary alternative personality that exists within Karthik.

Finally with the help of a psychiatrist he stops engaging with his alter ego (the phone) and confronts the reality that he himself is responsible for his own life.

What are some scary psychological tricks?

1. When you're talking to someone, suddenly look behind them. They'll immediately turn to see what you're looking at. If you do this 3-4 times, the person you're talking to will feel uncomfortable and will shift their position so they can also see what's behind them. This works best in situations where there's something behind them. This trick is truly creepy because, in the right setting, people will sense there's someone they can't see, and they'll immediately become afraid.
2. When you're talking to someone, spontaneously glance at your watch. The person you're talking to will feel very uncomfortable, like they're wasting your time, and will try to leave you alone. They might even ask you if you're in a hurry. (Somehow, this trick doesn't work if you're looking at the time on your phone, but it does work if you're looking at a clock.)
3. When you're talking to someone, try silencing them mid-conversation and pretending you're listening to something they can't quite hear. You can also add special effects like, "Hey, did you hear that?" It's really scary! Do this a few times and they'll be really annoyed.
4. When you're talking to someone, if you lower your voice or whisper, they'll automatically lower their voice to match your tone or whisper, even if they don't know why you're whispering. This trick works well when arguing, explaining, lecturing, or advising someone when they're speaking louder than you. You lower your voice, and they'll follow suit.

(Many people believe that speaking loudly will give them more power. This is not always true. In some arguments or situations when we want to keep control in our hands, lowering our voice always helps. We automatically gain power and control over the person or people who speak loudly. Most of the time, the loud person can only speak loudly and will feel confused if he has to lower his voice. (He uses his loud voice as his power). This will make him lose and that's when you will have a reason to defeat him.)

1. When you are in a room with 1 or more people, in conversation or in silence, tap 2-3 times on your desk, your laptop, a book, or any other surface that can make a knocking sound. No matter what they are doing, even if they are 200% sure that no one is knocking, they will jump towards the sound to confirm it. The human mind is wired to think of knocking as an action that demands an immediate response from them, (like opening a door when someone knocks). This trick is great fun to scare friends and distract them, and is generally very, very annoying. It keeps people losing their focus and concentration.
