Kedarnath Movie Review:
Set against the backdrop of 2013 Uttarakhand floods, Kedarnath promised to be a passionate love story. The romance, the tragedy and events inspired by real-life, the story has all the elements, however, none of them have been exploited fully. Kanika Dhillon (Writer) looks tad confused and the sub-plot on environment only adds to the confusion. Commercialisation of the serene valley could have served as an impactful sub-plot but it gets lost in the middle of 90s ka drama. An inter-religion love story is a much-needed thing in the time of ‘love jihad’ but Abhishek Kapoor fails to bring freshness. Same old raging father, ‘bechari’ maa and hero who gets beaten to a pulp by villain’s men.
First half of Kedarnath is all smiles and lovey-dovey. It is peppered with innocence of Mansoor and Mukku. Kapoor takes enough time to establish the chemistry between his lead pair. In short, the first half is wafer-thin but enjoyable. Back-to-back songs feel less interruptive as they are soothing. It is post-interval when a major portion of the drama takes place when nature wreaks havoc. VFX forms an important component of the story. While in some portions, they have worked exceptionally well, in others, they are just cringe-worthy. Also, the aftermath of the deluge should have been shown to bring despair and tears in the audience eyes.
