Exclusive- Imlie fame Gautam Handa on Road Trip Day says 'Such adventure helps you to reconnect with yourself'
Actor Gautam Handa known for playing the prominent role of Karan in the TV show Imlie, enjoys Road tripping. Today on Road Trip Day, he shared his passion for going on solo road trips.
He said, "There's something quietly powerful about taking a long drive alone. No plans. No conversations to keep up. Just you, the road, and the low hum of the engine. In a world that rarely slows down, solo drives offer a rare kind of peace—one where you're not expected to be anywhere or be anyone but yourself."
He continued, "Driving alone strips life down to the essentials. You roll the windows down, set the music to your mood, and let the road carry you.
It's not about reaching a destination. It's about the drive itself—the stretch of highway, the shifting scenery, the rhythm of your thoughts syncing with the movement of the car."
He added, "When you're driving with company, the focus is often outward. You're talking, navigating, coordinating. But when you're alone, it turns inward. It's where thoughts get clearer, emotions settle, and decisions that once felt heavy begin to untangle.
You start noticing things: the way the light hits the dashboard, how the road curves against a hillside, the silence between songs. These little moments remind you that peace isn't always found in stillness—sometimes, it's found in motion.
"
The actor recalls his first to Kasauli and reveals, "I remember my first road trip was when I was in my early 20s. And it was an amazing experience to Kasauli, a beautiful hill station in Himachal Pradesh.
I will never forget the memories I made during the trip. With stunning mountain views where I felt like reconnecting with myself."
Gautam also shared his last trip was to Trimbakeshwar Jyotirlinga Temple. "My last road trip was to Trimbakeshwar Jyotirling Temple, being a devotee of lord Shiva it was a much-awaited one. And I'm blessed to have experienced the blessings and enjoy the atmosphere filled with devotion and dedication."
Gautam is known for featuring in shows like Gumrah,
CID
, Aahat, Yeh Hai Mohabbatein, Zindagi Abhi Baki Hai Mere Ghost. He was last seen in Pyaar Kii Raahein, before which he played the negative role of Kundan in the TV show Mil Ke Bhi Hum Na Mile.

‘Stolen' review: No good deed goes unpunished in this bleak, impressive thriller
Lynching is thought to have originated as a term sometime in the 1700s. The word conjures up an evil of the past, barbaric and unthinkable in a modern civilised society. It is, therefore, especially alarming that the term, and practice, has seen a resurgence in India over the past decade or so. This is tied to a related problem, the proliferation of fake news, willful and otherwise, through WhatsApp and other media. Just search for 'lynch mob' and 'WhatsApp'—most of the results are cases from India. Only a handful of Hindi films have addressed the modern face of lynching. In Mukkabaaz (2018) and Afwaah (2023), vigilante groups attack a Dalit and a Muslim character respectively, who are badly injured but survive. No film has replicated the chilling aesthetic of lynching videos: self-shot on phones, victims begging for their lives, attackers addressing the camera. Dibakar Banerjee came closest with the shocking murder in the first segment of Love Sex Aur Dhokha (2010), a film where all the action is mediated via screens of different kinds. Stolen doesn't imitate these videos, but it comes close to capturing their dread. In the opening scene of Karan Tejpal's film, a baby is stolen from its sleeping mother's side by an unseen figure on a railway platform. A few minutes later, we're told the film is inspired by 'real events'. In an interview to Scroll, Karan Tejpal said the inspiration was a lynching in Assam in 2018, where two people were killed by a mob on suspicion being child traffickers. This wasn't the only such incident around that time; there was a spate of lynchings in Jharkhand in 2017, when rumours spread on WhatsApp about child abductors resulted in the death of five people. Gautam (Abhishek Banerjee) has come to pick up his younger brother, Raman (Shubham Vardan), from the railway station. He finds his sibling surrounded by a small, agitated group. Jhumpa (Mia Maelzer), a tribal woman, is accusing Raman, who'd picked up the abducted infant's cap, of stealing her baby. Two cops arrive and gruffly ask questions. Raman clearly isn't the abductor, but the young man is moved by the woman's frantic appeals. He pushes the policemen to do their job; the righteous indignation in his voice tells us he's in trouble before even he knows it. Sure enough, the brothers are forced to tag along on their investigation in the dead of night. Unlike his brother, Gautam has no illusions. 'Bahut galat phase hain yaar (we're in real trouble),' he tells Raman. He immediately realises it's a situation they need to extricate themselves from, and tries to smooth-talk, then bribe the cops. If Raman is a bleeding heart liberal, Gautam stands for the practical, risk-averse upper-class Indian (he's introduced talking on the phone about afterparties). He shows no empathy for Jhumpa, not because he doesn't recognise her predicament but because she's of a class and caste whose problems he's either isolated from or can be made to vanish easily (when she asks for help, he offers her money). Stolen has the same basic trajectory as NH10 (2015), a momentary loss of reason that plunges an urban couple into a hinterland nightmare. But where that film had a clear, sadistic villain, Tejpal, working with writers Gaurav Dhingra, Swapnil Salkar and Vardhan, doesn't offer this neat a contrast. The antagonists are either shadowy figures or faceless mobs. No one's what they seem: one of the cops, Panditji (a wonderful Harish Khanna), reveals himself by degrees to be a man of conscience as well. Jhumpa's story keeps mutating—I won't reveal more except to say the way some of the revelations are deployed reminded me of the brilliant Sonchiriya (2019), the only Hindi film in recent times that can match this one for utter bleakness. The most interesting journey, though, is Gautam's, who proves more resourceful under pressure than one might think. The way his self-centredness evolves into a surge of human feeling doesn't feel contrived. This is in large part because of Banerjee's deftness. He's become, in short order, one of the most arresting performers in Hindi film. From the start, it's been difficult to pigeonhole him. His twin breakthroughs were as the slapstick Jana in Stree (2018) and the scary Langda Tyagi in the first season of Paatal Lok (2020). Last year, he reprised his role in Stree 2, and was also excellent as the smooth-talking, casteist politician who John Abraham goes up against in Vedaa (his gallery of villains also includes the grotesque child rapist in the 2017 indie Ajji). Stolen, for the first time, offers him a chance to do everything. He's caustically funny scolding his brother and Jhumpa, adrenaline-filled and panicked when they're being pursued (a handful of searing chases go a long way to enlivening the film's visual sameness), and stoically determined at the end, when he's been through too much to stand aside. Karan Tejpal's film premiered at the Venice Film Festival in 2023. The long wait for an India release must have been fraught—especially with Santosh (2024), another stark film about the tenuous hold of law and order in small towns, not making it past the censors this year. But Stolen is now streaming on Amazon Prime, having bypassed theatres. It's the kind of film that makes you feel some hope for Hindi cinema and none for the country.

‘Stolen' movie review: Abhishek Banerjee's road thriller is gritty but not revelatory
Questions abound in Karan Tejpal's directorial debut, Stolen. For starters, why would Raman (Shubham Vardhan), a young man en route to attend a wedding — not just any wedding, mind you, but his mother's wedding — suddenly jettison his plans in order to help a complete stranger in peril? There are a couple of ways you can answer it, including a recent bereavement we learn about, but my preferred theory is this: Raman is a freelance photographer who works for magazines. If there is one profession in India with a perpetually troubled conscience, it's Raman's. Matters are more straightforward for Raman's brother, Gautam (Abhishek Banerjee). A foppish, affluent gent, with slicked-back hair and a practical manner, he just wants to get on with his night ('The afterparty is so not lit without your moves,' he's told on the phone). Come to pick up Raman at the railway station, he witnesses a commotion. A five-month-old child has been stolen from the platform; the mother, a desperate-looking migrant labourer named Jhumpa (Mia Maelzer), initially suspects Raman, then acquiesces to his offer for help. The railway station sequence is so atmospheric, in its gathering tension, that I wished it lasted a little longer. Before long, Raman, Gautam and Jhumpa are in the car, chasing a flimsy lead, with two local police officers leading the way. At a checkpoint, their cavalry is intercepted by a posse of forest officers; a video has gone viral in grassroots vigilance groups of two men and a woman in a black SUV, 'confirmed sources' marking them out as child kidnappers. This is the scary modern incarnation of the wanted poster in American Westerns — death by WhatsApp. Stolen (Hindi) Director: Karan Tejpal Cast: Abhishek Banerjee, Shubham Vardhan, Mia Maelzer, Harish Khanna Runtime: 94 minutes Storyline: Two city-bred brothers are trapped in a perilous ride when they decide to help a stranger In 2018, two men, wrongly suspected of being child abductors, were beaten to death by a mob in Assam. Foul play was discovered, and the insidious mobilising power of fake news. Tejpal has cited the incident as the inspiration for his film, while transplanting the story to what looks and sounds like Rajasthan (Jhumpa speaking Bengali, and Gautam knowing his way around the language, are subliminal links to the eastbound source material). Stolen descends from a fine lineage of modern Hindi chase films. Navdeep Singh's harrowing NH10 is on top of the list, followed by Joram, Afwaah, and, to a lesser degree, Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar. All of these films evoke a nation that has spun out of joint, riven by greed, misinformation and class rage. Stolen feels purposeful in this context, but by the same token, less revelatory. The film tells you nothing that you don't already know. Tejpal directs the chase sequences with a messy fluency; there isn't much conventional action to speak of, yet it feels like an action film. The camera, more than once, stays put inside the vehicle and spins, in a swirl of chaos, a low-budget nod to the canonical oner in Children of Men. This, again, has been done before. A more impressive directorial choice on Tejpal's part is the avoidance of flashbacks. Just from their conversations, I was invested in the sibling relationship at the film's centre, with its life-like blend of protectiveness and recrimination. When not goofing off endearingly in the Stree films, Abhishek Banerjee seeks out violent genre work, roles that ratchet up his chances of getting his face bashed in. The actor, working with sighs, looks and half-grins, seems to thrive in ambiguities. He finds a pragmatism to Gautam ('Only money comes handy in these situations,' he declares) that keeps the character constantly intriguing. The film ends on a redemptive note. Yet, in Banerjee's performance, there is always a sense that, had things played out a little differently, his vain, city-dwelling samaritan would have simply driven off, caring not a hoot. Stolen is currently streaming on Prime Video

‘Stolen' review: A gross misunderstanding leads to a white-knuckle experience
Stolen starts with a disarming visual – an infant sleeping in her mother's arms. It's a rare moment of calm in a film which, once it gets going, piles on white-knuckle tension, disturbing visuals and frenetic action. Karan Tejpal's directing debut, which is out on Prime Video, is an exercise in the perils of empathy. Written by Tejpal, Gaurav Dhingra and Swapnil Salkar Agadbumb, Stolen revolves around a gross misunderstanding that assumes epic proportions for a pair of well-heeled brothers. Gautam (Abhishek Banerjee) arrives at night at a train station in a remote town to pick up his younger brother Raman (Shubham Vardhan). The duo are on their way to attend a family wedding. Champa, the five-month-old baby who is with her mother Jhumpa (Mia Maelzer), is snatched away as soon as Raman gets off the train. Raman is accused of kidnapping Champa, even though it is clear that he has nothing to do with it. The nightmare has only just begun for Raman and Gautam. It extends to the next day and involves a desperate mother, suspicious policemen and vigilante mobs who have been tracking abductions in the area. Over 92 minutes, Raman and Gautam navigate hostile terrain in the company of a woman who isn't who she claims to be. A bleeding heart turns out to be a sure-shot route to bodily injuries and severe psychological strain. The tightly constructed, immersive movie is inspired by the lynching of two men falsely accused of kidnapping in Assam in 2018. In Stolen, Raman's decision to overrule the pragmatic Gautam's objections and listen to his conscience leads to the rudest possible introduction to an unfamiliar, brutal side of India. There are other discoveries too, such as the mistrust in law enforcement beyond the cities. The dismissive treatment of a poor woman like Jhumpa speaks about a larger bias at work. The policemen, led by Panditji (Harish Khanna), are sometimes as quick to judge Gautam and Raman as are the faceless hordes keen on doling out instant punishment. Despite the occasional contrivances, there is welcome layering in a film that reveals the immense risks involved in venturing out of the bubble of privilege. The sensory rush is paused at times to consider the dynamic between Gautam and Raman. Jhumpa evolves into more than a do-gooder project. A tmospheric cinematography by Isshaan Ghosh and surgical editing by Shreyas Beltangdy complement the action. The performances by Abhishek Banerjee, Mia Maelzer and Shubham Vardhan are excellent, with an especially compelling turn from Vardhan (who has also contributed to the dialogue). Karan Tejpal convincingly conjures up an open-air labyrinth within which to trap Gautam, Raman and Jhumpa. There are several dark places where the three characters finds themselves, but perhaps nothing is scarier than the open roads on which they are hounded by bloodthirsty mobs. Play
