Karwaan
A dutiful son performs the last rites for his father and is blessed with new friends in a Hindi-language comedy-drama directed by Akarsh Khurana. Avinash (Dulquer Salmaan) has always blamed his father (director Khurana) for the misery that life has lavished upon him. Trapped in a thankless job in Bangalore with a boss who clearly despises him, Avinash yearns for adventure and he gets his wish in tragic circumstances. His father perishes in an accident and a terrible mix-up results in Avinash receiving the wrong body. He takes delivery of the mother of a woman called Tahira (Amala Akkineni), who lives in Kochi. In return, she receives the body of Avinash's old man. Determined to rectify the administrative blunder, Avinash enlists the services of his one and only friend, Shaukat (Irrfan Khan), to drive from Bangalore to Kochi and exchange the deceased parents. En route, Avinash and Shaukat collect a passenger, Tahira's outspoken daughter Tanya (Mithila Palkar), whose carefree nature is a shock to the system of the older men. She encourages Avinash and Shaukat to take madcap detours to Ooty and Kumarakom and inspires both men to re-evaluate the direction of their unsatisfying lives.
