      Why is there so much hate!

      Why is there so much hate towards this film! I am really annoyed and disappointed with all the negative reviews and people who are finding faults and criticising this outstanding well made film.

      The acting all around was incredible, the set of the film was amazing as well as having a great story line.

      Madhuri Dixit, Varun Dhawan, Alia Bhatt, Sanjay Dutt, Sonakshi Sinha, Aditya Roy Kapoor---- I'm really speechless for the wonderful roles they played and whatever role was theirs, they did absolute justice to it.. The roles of Madhuri, Varun and Alia are highly highly commendable..My big appreciation and admiration to such stars who played the characters soo well and put life in them as real..

      The cinematography was also very amazing.

      Will definitely watch this film again once it comes to Amazon Prime!

      Decent!

      This movie is not that bad as other reviewers make it seem. Sure it has some faults from having unnecessary long scenes and background music. The movie could have been cut short by 20 minutes. Also, the story was cliche and a bit weak. It's unmatchable to Sanjay Leela Bhansali's work so don't go in with such expectations. What kept me hooked was everyone's acting as well as the sets, costumes, and cinematography. The songs were good too. The climax was surprising with a lot of emotions. Alia was superb and Varun did a pretty damn good job. Aditya and Sonakshi stood out too. I appreciated Sanjay Dutt for his efforts as well. But most importantly, Madhuri was just breathtaking! People are not giving credit to where it's due and are bashing the entire movie. It's not that bad!

      Part of an established genre

      A lady with terminal cancer (Sonakshi Sinha) tries to fix a second marriage for her husband before she dies. They live in a small town near Lahore and she finds the girl she wants in a Hindu village in India. But the girl (Alia Bhatt) won't agree to wait till the first wife dies and says she'll enter the house only as the second wife. But she soon finds herself lonely and unloved as her new husband (Aditya Roy Kapur) loves his first wife only and says so. He's obviously into mature women and not wispy young girls. And the wispy young girl is not into serious, intellectual men. Left to herself, she falls for a young blacksmith (Varun Dhavan). It is soon revealed that the two men share the same father (Sanjay Dutt). One is his illegitimate son by a brothel keeper (Madhuri Dixit). The other is the highly educated editor of the local newspaper. After all this is established, the film drags slowly to a fairly predictable resolution. The sets are unrealistically opulent, with the brothel resembling a five star heritage resort and the rich man's house resembling the White House. Kalank is part of a now established genre in Bollywood, which includes films like Vidhu Vinod Chopra's Eklavya: The Royal Guard.
