Karwaan

A laughter riot, not one of your average typical Bollywood slapstick comedies where the actors are cracking lame jokes which we would crack in school. This isn't your typical comedy where there is confusion in the end of the movie and the director is trying hard to make you laugh. This is new and genuine. It has 98% comedy and 2% serious. The serious scenes literally make you think and remember your dear ones. Acting is awesome, you can never expect less especially from Irrfan Khan. He plays Shaukat. Dulquer Salman plays Avinash who has lost his father, Mithila Palkar acts as Tanya who has lost her grandmother in the same road accident. Now an irresponsible delivery agency swaps the coffins, Avinash has to go to Ooty and tags along with Shaukat and Tanya. The laughter levels were very high in the cinema hall, not a single soul was silent. A great road trip movie after Bombay to Goa. This is also one of those pleasant movies where you feel happy, like Yeh Mera Sunday, Delhi in a Day or Tum Milo Toh Sahi. A perfect cocktail for a beautiful day where you want to do nothing but smile and be happy.

Verdict: Don't miss if you love comedy

Movie based on Road Trip always connects. Be it Highway or Piku or Chef or Due Date or from any language. It just connects.

Trailer did impress me but the songs from the movie were just mind-blowing. Just listen to the songs while you are on a trip, you will understand why I liked it.

Being a 2 hrs movie it starts slow but it keeps you engaged due to laugher it provides continuously. But post-interval is where the movie hits it's top gear.

Story is about dead body getting exchanged. The big plus about the movie is that it knows what it wants to convey and that's RELATIONSHIP.

I believe we can't judge actors because who are we to judge them? But they are too good.

Must watch.

What an amazing movie from beginning till end this movie is roller coaster of fun... bollywood should learn from this movie... this is how comedy movie should made

Simple and beautiful! These two words can define the whole movie. Irrfan steals the show at the end with his wittiness and humour. A typical irrfan khan movie. Strongly recommend.

Karwaan - Welcome to a road trip of your lifetime with Irrfan Khan, the road trip subject matter expert (remember Piku?) now. Majrooh Sultanpuri's legendary "Main akela hi chala tha janib-e-manzil magar, log saath aate gaye aur karwaan banta gaya" comes alive in this 2-hour journey involving a mix up of dead bodies. Avinash (Dulquer Salman), an IT professional by lack of choice sets out with the unintended dead body with his friend Shaukat (Irrfan) in the latter's van from Bangalore to retrieve his estranged father's coffin that has erroneously reached Kochi. During this trip with a rather straightforward objective, strange things happen and the duo meet many people who will change the course of their lives. Most importantly, Avinash will find his mojo and make a career of his choice, something that he hadn't been able to do earlier due to his father's strict ordain.

Dulquer Salman is very effective as the mellow, practical and brooding Avinash. He is an introvert and a shy character that is your common man who has sacrificed his interests for parental choices in youth and would most probably live for his family later. Your heart goes out to his infectious performance that grows on you. Irrfan is at his crackling best - his one-liners are the life of the movie, and will kerp you rolling on the floor. He is a natural choice for Karwaan. Mithila Palkar is a great discovery - expressive, lively and ebullient. She stirs up a debate on semi-generation gap with Dulquer Salman that's utterly mouth watering. Akash Khurana and the graceful Amala Akkineni have relatively smaller roles but provide great support. The music by Anurag Saikia and cinematography by Avinash Arun are brilliant. Tell me if you don't crack up with the "Heartquake". Bravo! Director Akarsh Khurana reminds us that Indian films have come of age and young directors like him can convert any subject into a magical portrayal. 4.5 STARS!
