It’s always interesting to watch a film blend another modern art form into its narrative. In this case, it is the Archie comics series that inspires the story, and conveys how art has the power to transport us into worlds beyond our own. Khayali Pulao charts an episode in Archit’s (inspired by the comic hero, Archie) life: the aftermath of his girlfriend, Natasha, punching him, and the events that unfold post and prior to the incident.

For what it sets out to do, with that simple thread, the film achieves its aim. It’s quirky in its appeal and fun to watch. It’s a quintessential urban buddy film/romedy, and entertaining at that.
