A film highly mounted, a big starcast, eye pleasing visuals, made on a grandeur scale , so far so good but then what about the soul, the basics, the script, at a running time of around 160 minutes the story line to hold the interest of the audience, all this proves to be a KALANK in the making of this film, the intention of the director ABHISHEK VERMAN seems good & strong but personally feel that he got carried away with it's canvas, yes the music & dances are good but it's relevance to the going on is not well timed
Set somewhere around pre independence & partition it's a love story, rather a puzzled one & with the HINDU-MUSLIM issue, also with a revengeful purpose
SONAKSHI married to ADITYA is suffering from an illness & is soon going to die but wants & also gets her husband married to ALIA who later on gets close & falls in love with VARUN who now is the illegitimate child of SANJAY thru MADHURI, a courtesan whereas ADITYA is the legitimate child of SANJAY, in between all of them is KUNAL KHEMU a leader of his Muslim party in the area & has a conflict with ADITYA ,now all this might seem confusing while you are reading this but more than that seems painful when you sit through it watching on the big screen, especially after you have come with high expectations, likewise there is a scene in this KALANK of a film when both our heroes yell loudly to let out their frustrations, well wish i could have done the same watching this COLLOSAL DISAPPOINTMENT, to top of it at the very end ALIA actually asks the audience to judge now whether this WELL MADE DISASTER is actually a KALANK or
a MOHABAAT EPIC( something like this ), now do we have prizes for guessing
SANJAY DUTT after his return to bollywood is i believe hell bent on returning back to home if he continues doing such movies & more to that such roles, he definitely deserves much better for even now he has a great personality, still he has the quality of being a NAYAK or even a stronger KHALNAYAK
Watching the DIVA, EK DO TEEN(she has hold those 3 top position through out her career)MADHURI DIXIT here was never so disappointing for me in my entire MOVIE WATCHING CAREER 😜
SONAKSHI SINHA, well watching her in this movie & only one question popped up WHY, but then better to be KHAMOSH
ADITYA ROY KAPUR, well this is not the kind of AASHIQUI he deserves
Yes if it was not for ALIA BHATT, KHUNAL KEMMU & the TOPMOST VARUN DHAWAN , this KALANK would have been renamed as KALANK NO 1
