*No Spoilers* KALANK Well with all the memes going about it. Guess less spoken is better😜 Personally I loved the plot and the star cast. It had potential of becoming a cult film..or may be it will a la Andaaz Apna Apna. The film would've clicked better if it had a realistic set or natural locales. The film was a mix of Moulin Rouge and Sawaariya with a bull fight scene thrown in for no effect. The partition time was shown like Venice with gondolas.. Seriously? Are we depicting the same country here or KJO's fantasy of India. Aditya Roy Kapoor and Kunal Khemu were the surprise package. The one thing I loved was the track of Varun and Alia. True heartfelt love which is beautifully depicted especially their complex emotions. The outfits are beautiful.. The ladies to the men, Everyone is looking just fab. Alas, if only people really looked or dressed this way during that era. The songs and much hyped dances fall flat. The title track is the only saving grace, it's hauntingly beautiful. Arijit Singh rocks. I'm a sucker for tragic/dark/unfilled romantic movies, Dil Se being one of my personal favorites. If you are as well, give it a watch. It's a one time watch for sure.

Loved this series. Had tears in my eyes. Excellent performance by the leads. A must watch👍
