As mix-ups go, this one is weird. A man loses his father in an accident but the body delivered to him is of the mother of a woman in another state. Avinash Rajpurohit was not fond of his Dad, but duty calls and he agrees to meet the lady to exchange coffins somewhere between Bengaluru where he lives and her home in Kochi.

When two dead bodies are accidentally delivered to opposite addresses, it triggers the road trip thats at the center of Karwaan. So technically death sets this journey into motion, but, like every other road-movie ever made, the focus is on the bittersweet unpredictability of lifethe forging of new friendships, the repairing of old ones, and, inevitably, discovering oneself along the way.
