![]() Unfortunately, a good story with all the potential for becoming an intense visual feat proves to be dull, slow and uninteresting with the director paying more attention to sets and costumes. ![]() Alas, she has not been getting good roles and in Kalank too she just reminds of ‘Paro’ in Bhansali’s Devdas.Īlia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan have already proved their worth as actors and they are cool in this film too. ![]() Madhuri Dixit of course dances well but she is a good actress too. He being a good actor does justice to the role but the entire scenario looks so artificial that none of the characters barring Alia move you. Kunal Khemu in a cameo was seen after a long time. Varun Dhawan as the illegitimate son portrays the raging vengeance successfully, though he too has not as yet been able to weed out the Marathi accent and as a result he sounds a little awkward as a Muslim in Lahore. The subtle nuances of intricate close relationships are also not projected effectively. Aditya Roy Kapoor as his son too has an impressive screen presence but his dialogue delivery and voice is quite dull. Sanjay Dutt looks like a typical patriarch with a towering screen presence. The story involves a rich Hindu family of Husnabad, the patriarch, his son with a progressive outlook who is angry with his father for having a relationship with a tawaif, the son’s first wife who is dying of cancer and his second wife who marries him due to certain pressures and of course the environment just before the Partition. The second attempt is worse than the first one. His first ‘2 States’ was also not very impressive and those who have read Chetan Bhagat’s novel of the same title are often found criticising it. This film happens to be director Abhishek Verman’s second attempt. In pre-Partition days, the degenerated tawaifs were not so rich to be able to organise such spectacular festivals.Īnd what a bull fight!! After seven seconds, the poor though intelligent animal itself went back to the cage!! It’s unbelievable, how our filmmakers consider audiences stupid!! The period of the entire film doesn’t look like the pre-Partition days. ![]() So, in a nutshell, it looks like a film by a Sanjay Leela Bhansali clone, with magnificent sets, lavish costumes but nothing else. Kalank gives you the impression that Sanjay Leela Bhansali has after all cast an influence on the new crop of directors in at least what the colour and hue of a film should look like. ![]() Though there is a slight difference here bichhde involves an illegitimate son in the film. upcomingregionalsection.cms?parentid=61017241&genere=*:* /upcomingregionalsection.When it comes to Partition, our Hindi film industry has not as yet been able to come out of bichhde (separated ) brothers’ syndrome. ![]()
