Karwaan is a road trip movie as the trailer says, but it is a road trip with a difference. The movie is well crafted and takes Avinash on a journey to collect his father's body from Kochin.
It is a journey filled with situations, where Avinash struggles to reconcile his relationship with his father. As he says there is no love between them, but the situation has made him realize that his father while not great was not as bad he thought him to be. And in this age and world being not bad is as good as great.
Irrfan as Shaukat and Mithila Pathak as Tanya provide a good foil to Dulquer. Dulquer is the silent, introvert - a thinker who does not let people or the world in easily, Irrfan is the guide, the voice of the troika, Mithila plays the rebellious teenager trying to balance the recklessness and rebellion.
Karwaan is a breezy ride, it has something that the recent movies have lost their interest in - emotions, it maintains a perfect balance between the emotional aspects without trying to come across as preachy or overtly emotional.
The characters played by the trio are easily recognizable ones, all of us may know an Avinash, a Tanya or a Shaukat in our daily lives. In the end, Karwaan is as much a road journey as it is a life journey.
Watch IT!!!
