Kalank movie review: Varun Dhawan's stellar act lifts up this sentimental tale of unrequited love
Kalank is one of Varun Dhawan's best works and also features Alia Bhatt, Sanjay Dutt, Madhuri Dixit Nene, Aditya Roy Kapur and Sonakshi Sinha in pivotal roles
Karan Johar's Kalank is the project, which is closest to his heart. It was a story he had discussed with his dad, late film producer Yash Johar and he had loved it. Years later, the film, Kalank directed by Abhishek Varman of 2 States fame is hitting the theatres. It is a love story set in the pre-Partition India. The film stars Varun Dhawan, Alia Bhatt, Aditya Roy Kapur, Madhuri Dixit Nene and Sanjay Dutt in lead roles. Sridevi was the initial choice for the role but her untimely demise led to Madhuri's entry as the reclusive, stunning and evocative Bahaar Begum. It is a tale of unrequited love, pain, betrayal and revenge. The songs of the film Ghar More Pardesiya, First Class and Tabah are a rage already. Here is the movie review of the magnum opus...
Verdict
Kalank is a fabulously mounted film with great performances. If you can overlook the length, it will be a good watch. This has to be one of Varun Dhawan's best.
