Eventually, I will start a small business happily. However, greedy relatives start searching for him. Will he get caught, or will this joy of life turn him into a new person?
Cast and Characters
We should appreciate Abhishek Bachchan for his versatility. He acted as wannabe Jolly in Housefull 5, now he chose a deglamorized role with a magnificent script. The trailer gives heartwarming moments of a man learning the real joys of life through an unusual friendship. Kaalidhar Laapata has very limited casting. Let’s see all the characters here.

Tamil remake
In fact, Kaalidhar Laapatha is a Tamil remake of the same director, Madhumita. Her film K.D. or Karuppu Durai stars Mu Ramaswamy and Nagavishal, and got critical acclaim for excellent performance, originality, and depth of emotions. Same plot in Hindi but with a more enhanced and localized play, Abhishek Bachchan shines throughout the trailer.
It’s great to see him enjoy the role, and if this film is a success, it will surely be because of his efforts and dedication to portraying real emotions. Another advantage is storytelling, as the Maha Kumbh Mela finished recently, people have seen cases where young couples leave their in-laws in the crowd & many situations, which add realism to the film.
