Kalank Movie Celebs Reviews, Twitter Reactions: Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan's much-awaited film is melodrama

Alia Bhatt as Roop and Varun Dhawan as Zafar are sure to make you believe more in true love. While the story is predictable, it won't be wrong to say that the film manages to ignite the fire in anyone who watches it and encourages all to fight the odds for their love in every possible way. 

Alia Bhatt shared a picture on Instagram as her film Kalank hits the theatres. In the picture, she as Roop is playing with a kite. 

Alia Bhatt as Roop and Varun Dhawan as Zafar are the heart and soul of the movie. Rest of the actors are more like extended cameos in Kalank. Talking about the performances, Varun stands out among the lot as Zafar. 

Abhishek Varman's Kalank is all about emotions and how people grapple with them amid different spheres of life. Though the story is not unique, it surely is relatable. Roop, played by Alia Bhatt, is demure, shy and lives the life as it comes her way. She is vulnerable but also is fierce and powerful whenever the need arises. 

Some might find Kalank a bit slow. But if you have the love for the grandeur and pomp, the film will keep you hooked. The story is predictable, but the emotions displayed by Zafar and Roop will strike a chord with you. 

Our film critic says, "Too much of family drama and dialoguebaazi."

Director Shashank Khaitan took to Twitter and wrote, "#Kalank is a visual treat ... Its beautiful and Cinematic... its a fantastical world with a real heart... #AbhishekVerman super job Abhi... #AdityaRoyKapur is superb in the film ...@sonakshisinha is so good in a lovely cameo... @karanjohar."
