The sport was also a motif used earlier as a friendship bonding between the leads in his third film, Kai Po Che, which incidentally was Sushant's big screen debut.īut I have to ask this, just how many movies will Bollywood cash on this rich-poor, Hindu-Muslim divide? Didn't we have a similar movie, Dhadak, that came out this year, starring two more star kids? Why even, Sara's mother, Amrita Singh had made her debut ( Betaab) with a similar theme and that was in the early '80s! Interestingly, Abhishek Kapoor even makes them bond first through cricket. While we have seen this aspect in some of our recent movies, it is cool to see the girl take charge of the love story for a change. There is a certain charm in this fresh pairing of Sara and Sushant, set against quaint, lovely locales of the snow-laden Uttarakhand. The romance in Kedarnath has its moments, thanks to the chemistry between the leads. Or to be specific, the fictional love story of two fictional characters whose script can be easily guessed by anyone who watched a couple of masala movies. However, by the end, if you really don't feel the impact of these scenes, is all because what happened before. Or how the rushing water forms a Shesh-Nag like appearance over a temple. Though it comes towards the fag end of the movie, these scenes actually arrest your attention with some really decent VFX, and a couple of heart-stopping moments. There are some really spectacular shots like Mansoor rushing back to the town to save Mukku as the camera pans wide to show the impending doom. Though I am a sucker for love stories, my real interest in watching Kedarnath in how it depicts the floods. Soon, a tender romance develops between the two, even though Mansoor is cautious of the future of their relationship. Mandakini aka Mukku (Sara Ali Khan), the spunky younger daughter of a Hindu priest (Nitish Bharadwaj) falls for this good-hearted lad, though she is already engaged to a greedy family friend. We are introduced to Mansoor Khan (Sushant Singh Rajput), who works as a pithu, a local guide who ferries pilgrims to the Kedarnath temple. Kedarnath begins in May 2013, a month before the floods happened. Kedarnath Movie Row: Uttarakhand Government Sets Up Panel to Examine Objections About Sushant Singh Rajput, Sara Ali Khan Starrer. But if you wish that Kedarnath offers more pathos to the real-life tragedy, there is a lot to say on that. The movie is getting talked about for being Sara Ali Khan's debut, and if you are in to see how good she is, then you might not be disappointed. However, Kedarnath the movie has less to do with how our country coped with this disaster, and more to do with a love story created purely for the audience to sit through the film.


Director Abhishek Kapoor has based his new film Kedarnath against this tragedy. 2013 Uttarakhand floods were considered one of the worst water-related disasters India has seen.
