Going by the trailer of Karwaan starring Irrfan Khan and Dulquer Salman, the film seems to be a fun roller-coaster ride.
Three "lost souls", Avinash (Dulquer Salmaan), Shaukat (Irrfan Khan) and Tanya ( Mithila Palkar), are on a journey together, but not by choice. Avinash comes to know that the mortal remains of his father has been exchanged with that of an old woman from Kochi. As Dulquer and Irrfan set out for Kochi, Mithila Palkar's character joins in.
The trailer oozes freshness and a lot of it can be credited to the dialogue writer, Hussain Dalal. The words spoken by the characters are easy and relatable. The characters are equipped with sense of humor and acquire empathy. Twenty seconds into the trailer, Irrfan as Shaukat enters the frame spouting punch lines with panache. Dialogues such as " Ooty raste main nahi hain. Bhai, mayaat pe romance mat kar (Ooty isn't on our way. Don't romance while mourning the dead)" is hilarious and Irrfan is at his best.
This is the first Hindi film for Dulquer Salmaan, who has been a favourite with critics and at the box office in Malayalam. By his own admission the actor did not look for a big movie launch in Mumbai. “I don’t think I want to play a big fancy lead role in Hindi films just for the sake of it. I would prefer to do interesting roles. If I get a memorable role, it would have a bigger impact than debuting as a lead in a film where nobody knows me," Dulquer had said in an interview .
This is a big break for Mithali Palkar, who was earlier seen in popular YouTube series "Girl In The City". The movie directed by newcomer Akarsh Khurana is slated to release on August 3.
