For every sequence Irrfan isn't on screen, you notice, the film suffers. You can say that for films in general - for all the time, for health reasons, he's been compelled to stay away.

Something about this film tells me it's possibly much better written than it's turned out, although it's impossible to tell such things, unless one has personally observed the process. Still, there's absolutely nothing to fault in the underlying idea behind three disparate individuals — a young Millennial girl (Mithila Palkar); a single, urbane man, grappling with usual downs of a regimented, corporate life (Dulquer Salmaan); and an old, conservative Muslim with a Lucknowi/Hyderabadi/Bhopali twang/swag (Irrfan) —getting on a road-trip, that threatens to change their world, in a way that most road trips in movies inevitably do, making it such a fun, fine genre, to start with.
