Too many stories in the background of partition. Review on Kalank

Kalank is a classic example of a movie where you have outstanding star cast & there is no story.., , Rather I will say multiple stories.

There i4 luv stories, partition story, communal story, Amir-Garib story, revenge story, Heera Mandi story etc etc etc

It would have been better if there would have been not more than 2 story tracks.

Lets begin with the good things:-

1. Its a grand movie, sets, costumes everything so magnificent.

   
   




2. Star cast, you cant get a better cast than tbis one.

   
   




3. All actors so app for their role

   
   




4. Madhuri’s dance performances

   
   




5. Song Raghu reet sada chali ayee

   
   




6. Aditya - Sonakshi love story (only good love story out of 4)

   
   

The movie is predominantly focused upon Varun-Alia and that’s a very bad part. Makes a spl movie below average.

Besides storyline movie is weak on many other fronts which could have been better:-

1. Editing, its a too long movie, just like the story editor wanted to show everything as he if didn’t know the subject. The length specially 2nd 1/2 could have been reduced by 20 -30 mins

   
   




2. Madhuri’s make-up. Horribly wrong. Her wig was so inappropriate

   
   




3. Dialogue & screenplay

   
   




4. Music & song were ordinary & definitely not Madhuri movie type

   
   

There was so much hype around Madhuri & Baba but in there 10-15 mins role in the movie they had only 30 sec scene together. Which is such a let down.

In the end Alia had a question for the audience, my 8 yrs old nephew replied if the movie’s name is Kalank then so be it! Simple.

Go & watch only if you are anyone’s fan.

I did it only for Madhuri Dixit Nene....
