After a long wait where it was unsure whether the Tovino Thomas starrer would have a theatrical run or be screened on any OTT, Kilometres and Kilometres premiered on Asianet today.

And the team composed of 3-National Award winners didn't disappoint, delivery an above average experience. A quaint, quirky road movie that never achieves greatness but manages to entertain, Kms n Kms works primarily because of Tovino, who gives an earnest performance.

Call me biased but as a bullet owner, I instantly connected to the protagonist's deep love for his two-wheeler which forms the crux of the movie.

As the trailer gave away, the movie narrates the story of a broke village handyman who embarks on a cross-country road trip as a guide to a tourist. The various trials and tribulations they face on their journey forms the rest of a simple, heartwarming tale.

The stunning visuals as the lead pair traverses Goa, Gujarat, Rajasthan and the Himalayas add further sheen to the narrative.

Sidharth Siva and Joju George shine in their supporting roles while the female lead played by New York-based actress India Jarvis is adequate.

Set your expectations rights and this will not disappoint. Recommended. See less
