kedarnath- the moviekedarnath- the movie

Sara Ali Khan made her acting debut with Bollywood’s last release ‘Kedarnath‘ opposite Sushant Singh Rajput. Although Sara’s acting skills are being appreciated vividly, the audience was not very contented with the storyline and the plot.

Sushant is also a very good actor and he proved his worth with his debut movie ‘Kai Po Che’ but this time Sara stole all his thunder with her strong performance and the spark in her, which she definitely inherited from her mother Amrita Singh. She looks intense at times and convincing as a local Uttarakhand girl in a desi look. Well, she proved herself in her debut movie and now, not just only her name, but also her talent will get her moving ahead in the film industry.

Talking about the VFX used to create the flood and thunder, is really good. The whole view of the city Kedarnath and the valley is enough to take some breath away, and one might start making plans to visit Kedarnath one, after watching the movie.

Now the story part. Well, the story did not receive much appreciation. Director Abhishek Kapoor should have worked on the story, as much as he worked on the setup of the film, to make it just perfect. A love story of a Hindu girl and Muslim boy is not new in Bollywood. Mandakini aka Mukku is the younger daughter of the temple priest and Mansoor is the human porter or Pitthoo. What comes ahead; hero beat up by bad guys, heroin’s parents forbid her from seeing her love and then marrying her against her wish by emotionally blackmailing her, is also not new. But after the girl’s parents say, “You two can never be together, even is holocaust occurs.” She swears that she will pray that it comes.

And guess what? It comes. Fierce natural calamity is based on 2013 Uttarakhand flood which took 4000 lives. The visualization of the calamity is very nice with VFX and all. Everything seems so real and makes one gasp.

Only two things make the movie bearable for two hours, one is the beautiful view of the valley of Kedarnath and the other is Sara Ali Khan.
