Kedarnath

I've said it before but I am a sucker for star-crossed romance. And an interfaith relationship is icing on the cake. 'Kedarnath' is just that in a natural disaster setup. For those who are not aware, Kedarnath is a town in the Himalayas that suffered massive destruction in 2013. It was a horrific tragedy that director Abhishek Kapoor has managed to capture on the big screen.

Mansoor (Sushant Singh Rajput) is a porter who helps tourists visit temples and go on pilgrimages. He is immensely proud of what he does despite religious opposition. Mukku, a daughter of a respectable Pandit, happens upon him and is instantly fascinated by this young man. Refreshingly, she is the one who pursues him and their relationship blossoms into a gentle romance. An obnoxious fiancé, conservative parents, nothing seems to stop this couple...except impending doom. You know how the story will play out yet the last 20 minutes will still leave you awestruck and are the highlight of the movie.

Sushant Singh Rajput plays Mansoor with a quiet strength that's endearing and equally admirable. But frankly, he doesn't have much heavy lifting (metaphorically speaking, of course, since he carries a tremendous amount of weight in reality) to do. In an almost shocking turn of events a lot of the burden falls to Ms. Khan. Sara Ali Khan's Mukku is foulmouthed, stubborn, rebellious, and gets to display a range of emotions. She impresses with a confidence and attitude rarely seen in a debut film. Welcome to the movies, Ms. Khan; we're glad you're here!

Abhishek Kapoor is an unpredictable filmmaker. While he has delivered great wonders like 'Rock On' and 'Kai Po Che', his last release 'Fitoor' was painfully dull. Thankfully this time around he ups his game. He has chosen the right subject and does justice to the disaster. The romance could've used a little more time and stronger music was definitely needed. Songs are an imperative part of any good Bollywood romance and better ones would've helped heighten the emotions here. Nevertheless, the film has a Titanic-like quality that works for it.

I quite enjoyed this movie. The couple is sweet and there are some incredible shots of the valley. And seeing it fall apart is painfully effective. If nothing else, it's worth a watch for Sara Ali Khan who will walk away with all the glory.

The movie has a good flow and nothing is unexpected. Love story has been brilliantly put into it with an addition of religious sentiments. Whole cast and crew have done a good job, special mention to Sara Ali Khan and Sushant who have done justice to their roles Sara being a new comer. The best part of the movie is that you don't feel stuck at one point like other bollywood movies. Over all a good movie to watch.

Its a beautiful movie with Kedarnath incident in the background. Amit Trivedi has nailed it again. Dream debut for Sara and she has done it really well. And finally for Sushant - we miss you dude. You surely deserved to be in this industry for a very long time. Fantastic job in this movie. Overall casting and their performances were apt. Abhishek has delivered another class after Kai po che.

Taking place in the mountainvalley of india,who were struck by a tsunamilike flashflood in 2013, we follow the love story between a hindu girl and a muslim man. when the catastrophe comes after a long while it was breathtaking and heartwrenching to follow the happenings and the lost love story.

i do not know much about indian filmindustry, and i do not understand well enough the dynamics of religious counterparts in this part of the world, other than that its merely impossible. the way the love story is build up are near perfect in my opinion, and i felt so with the carachters all the way until the male part of the story where washed away by the floodwaters. at that moment, that i knew would come, i felt utterly sad on behalf of the girl, and the population who lived through and survived this catastrophe.

the acting are typical bollywood style, with 5-6 songs vith vocal lyrics and 1-2 ensemble dance setup were the whole village trows away buckets and spades and threw themselves into the well coreographed dance session,just like theyve done this a million times before, typical and traditional,but nice to watch for a norwegian layman. what i really liked were the filmography, with great visuals of the landscapes and environment were the people lives.its extremely colourfilled all over. the vfx could have been more prescise,but youll have to be a fool not being ragged into the sodoma and gommora like happenings of floodwater evrywhere.

i, the grumpy old man , started to watch this film, my wife joined me pretty quikly, and we both had a breathtaking watch together. so either you hate the bollywoodproducts, this was more than i did expect,and therefore recommends highly.

This movie is a much watch, atleast once. Sara ali khan has done a great job. There are many fun light moments which are very enjoyable. The portrayal of the floods is extremely great.
