Karwaan (Hindi)- Film Review

Irrfan and the dialogues (by Hussain Dalal) are riveting. Mithila Palkar reminded me of every teenager who rolls her eyes and says "whatever"every chance she gets. Salman (not that one) is a revelation, with an underplayed hero's role if there ever was one.

The direction reminded me of the best in this genre. Akarsh Khurana is a debutant director? Hard to believe. Every frame of the screenplay is crafted to perfection, and flows seamlessly, from the first scene in the bus headed for Gangotri, to the last, set in Kerala. The Kerala shots reminded me of Chef which was also shot there, among beautiful surroundings.

Kriti Kharbanda, who has made it big in Kannada films, has an endearing small role.

But just for Irrfan and the dialogue, the film is a must-watch (mast watch too). 5 stars from me.

I really enjoyed how Karwaan balances humor and emotion, especially with Irrfan’s performance and the sharp dialogues. The director’s work is impressive for a debut, and the Kerala scenes add a nice touch. I recently read a detailed Hindi film review that highlighted these same points. Definitely a film worth watching!
