❝I don't know if my dad was good. But I can say now that he wasn't bad. And these days, "not bad" is pretty great.❞

I don't know that I would've watched this on my own, so I'm glad I gave it a go because it was definitely an adventure. Karwaan relies a lot on its stellar cast and comedic line delivery, and unfortunately neglects tackling some of more serious themes it momentarily presents. Avinash's eulogy doesn't feel deserved because we don't actually get to know more about his complicated relationship with his dad, nor get any sort of closure apart from one measly diary entry. The film talks about the difference between recklessness and rebellion but never goes on to broach it further through its characters. However, despite all this, it still gets a high rating for how good its main three are together; Dulquer Salmaan and Irfan Khan (rest in peace) are dynamite, and Mithila Palkar adds a nice dynamic to the two. I really enjoyed watching them through all the ups and downs their journey took them on, and I'd certainly recommend giving Karwaan a go.
