The film marks Dulquer’s Bollywood debut. “Irrfan watched the film and seemed quite pleased with it,” said Khurana to the Times of India. “He spoke to me at length after the screening and I was happy and relieved with his and his family’s response.” Karwaan is a road trip comedy that revolves around three oddballs from different walks of life who are thrown together on a bizarre journey. Avinash (Dulquer) receives the wrong dead body of his father and goes on a road trip to find out what happened in reality, and how during the journey, he meets people and faces situations that change his life.
