Kunaal Roy Kapur must have made you both cringe and laugh in Abhinay Deo’s 2009 black comedy Delhi Belly and Ayan Mukerji’s 2013 romantic comedy Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani. It is a rare talent that he is inherently blessed with. [caption id=“attachment_3996903” align=“alignleft” width=“380”]  Kunaal Roy Kapur in a still from The Final Exit. YouTube[/caption] He is all set to cash in on the same in Dhwanil Mehta’s upcoming horror flick The Final Exit, the trailer of which has been released online. Except that here, the cringes are way more than the laughs. The laughs are an outcome of either unintentional comedy or exasperation and helplessness caused by this high-pitched superlatively cliched horror film. Yes, just laugh off the pain that we are being cruelly subjected to-types. Let’s not even try and get into the plot because there isn’t any. Kapur’s character hallucinates, see ghosts and goes on a road trip into a desert with all of them. He then, as the trailer indicates, finds himself ’lost in a strange world between life and death where there is no turning back, and there is no escape’. Clearly, The Final Exit is an illusion. There is no escape from its overwhelming mediocrity. The Final Exit also stars Ananya Sengupta, Scarlett Wilson, Archana Shastri and Reyhna Malhotra. It is co-produced by Mrunal Jhaveri and Vishal Rana. The film is slated to release on 22 September, along with Omung Kumar’s revenge saga _Bhoomi_ and Apurva Lakhia’s crime biopic _Haseena Parkar._
In The Final Exit, Kunaal Roy Kapur sees ghosts. What he fails to realise is that those are just the disturbed souls of his past characters haunting him.
