Kalank was one of the most awaited film of the year.The film had Big star cast, Lavish sets, Mega Budget, Big Names were also associated with like Dharma Productions and Fox star studios.But the film tanked at box office. and became a losing propostion for everryone attached to it.Also Kalank is Varun dhawan first big flop after giving back to back success for years.
Story of the film takes us back in era of 1945 in a place called Husnabad &where you have Alia bhatt as roop falling for young muslim guy Zafar(Varun Dhawan).Now roop is married to Dev Aditya Roy kapur who belongs to Highly rich and affulent family of Balbir chaudhary(Sanjay Dutt).
But roop is in fake relationship with Dev(Aditya roy kapur.)So roop searches for her love outside of her married life.And in this ways she her love in Zafar.Story takes a turn when Madhuri Dixit Bahar Begum who is a Tawaif in Hira mandi tells roop that she should not have affair with Zafar as she is already married to Dev.Many hidden secrets comes out once affair of the past comes to haunt them.
Ghar more pardesiya sung by Sherya Ghosal is beautiful number.Other song that have become hit with is First class .Title track Kalank sung by Singing Superstar Arijit Singh has become song of the year.Kalank will surely get award for best music and best song if not for the best film.
Kalank is badly directed&and scripted film.Acting wise Varun dhawan is decent through out the film.Alia bhatt once again proves why she is best female talent bollywood had.Aditya roy kapur is good as Dev chaudhary.Sanjay Dutt is excellent in small role.Great to see Madhuri dixit on screen in small but important role of Bahar Begum.
