Karwaan is a film that deals with the dealing griefs and life at large!
Review: Karwaan feels sluggish and laboured in between. The writers create situations to buy time by creating implausible premises to keep the three characters together, alas they deviate too much. There is a wedding that stands cancelled, some drinking sessions, some goons chasing Shaukat, a hospital visit and a reunion with an old collage romance. All this feels, despite giving some of the best moments in the film, a bit unreal, especially when there is a dead body decomposing in the boot.
The film is shot beautifully. Cinematographer Avinash Arun captures South India gorgeously on his lens. There is a shot of Avinash in the rear view mirror against the changing lights of the day, turning yellow from street lamps to the early morning blue skies and it looks delicious. The music of the film is brilliant too. Saansein is my favorite track, written, composed and sung by Prateek Kuhad. He is someone to watch out for.
Karwaan is a film that deals with dealing grief and life at large. It's a film on existentialism. It's a slice of life served with enough delicious toppings. Bite into it!
