#Kedarnath movie ratings and reviews full#

Scenes like Mukku's father punishing her by dipping her in frozen water like a tea bag or arguments between the pandits and pithoos taking a communal turn are woefully over the top, but the cast's composed energy strains out some of the excessive melodrama.

The heft and conviction of a sparkling Sara and subdued Sushant as well as its solid supporting cast make Kedarnath's stereotypes and contrivances a whole lot agreeable. The sooner it finds another vintage ditty to ruin in overkill, the better. It must be said, Bollywood's Lag Ja Gale obsession has gotten out of hand now.

It's 2013 and people in love are still collecting handkerchiefs and jhoomkas or giving dharna outside the sweetheart's house in pouring rain until change of heart happens.ДЄdd to this, the now tired trope of an old classic song for emotional effect. For all her first moves though, the courtship and conflicts it gives rise to are awfully hackneyed. When circumstances prompt Mukku to grow close to a Muslim porter Mansoor (Sushant Singh Rajput), she grabs it as an opportunity to break the norms.

Mukku loathes her mother's (Sonali Sachdev) compromised existence and is angered by her sister's (a lovely Pooja Gor) humiliation at the hands of a fiancГ© (Nishant Dahiya, full of rakish arrogance) they have had the misfortune to share.ДЄt times sparring, often silently communicating, Kapoor captures the sibling ups and down with impressive tenderness. But their love for couture eventually catches up by the time it is the turn of the big bridal lehenga. Known for their sartorial flamboyance, designer duo Abu Jani-Sandeep Khosla's playful if hardly realistic wardrobe for Sara resists grandiosity, as they know it. Her stylish wardrobe makes that a tad hard to believe. Cuttingly addressing him as Pandit not Pitaji, she openly resents the limited agency allowed to the women of her household. Sara plays Mukku, short for Mandakini, daughter of the local respected Brahmin (Nitish Bharadwaj) whose hypocrisy is thinly veiled under his skin-deep liberalism. When she is at its centre though, Sara is the heart of Kedarnath. It's as though director Abhishek Kapoor wants us to sniff her charisma even when she is almost out of the frame.

She is squabbling with a porter about her ruined footwear. The first time we see Sara - the camera captures her from an odd, distant angle. Except the newcomer's 'yeah so?' spirit is utterly disarming and injects fresh blood into an old body. When Sara Ali Khan slits her finger to prove a point to her bigot daddy in Kedarnath, she exhibits the same degree of ridiculous, romanticised rebellion that turns young ladies of Bollywood love stories into enthusiastic endorsers of self-inflicted violence. Hysteria abounds, but Madhuri's impetuous intensity in Dil makes it work. In a bid to spite her disapproving father, a defiant Madhuri Dixit stabs a broken wine bottle into her arm and vows to meet her beau come what may. Watch the film for Sara Ali Khan and Sushant Singh Rajputs sizzling chemistry.'Truth be told, Amrita Singh and Saif Ali Khan's daughter has tons of filmi blood and it is what powers Kedarnath from start to finish,' says Sukanya Verma. Amit TrivediвЂ™s music leaves you a tad disappointed. The screenplay has its strengths and weaknesses, the pace of the movie is sometimes too slow and becomes tedious over time.ДЄbhishek Kapoor and Kanika Dhillon who have written the story have briefly commented on the commercialization of the hill town with hotels and tourism, which has impacted the ecological balance and contributed to natural calamities but have not given it much scope in the story. We loved the VFX that is used to showcase the devastation caused by the floods. The cinematography by Tushar Kanti Ray, who has perfectly captured the beauty of the Himalayas with crisp and artistic visuals is impressive. Sushant Singh Rajput, in a slightly under-played role, supports SaraвЂ™s efforts perfectly. She owns every scene that she is present in with an elan. Sara Ali Khan who marks her debut with вЂKedarnathвЂ™ is sassy like her mother Amrita Singh of вЂBetaabвЂ™ and вЂChameli Ki ShaadiвЂ™ fame. Things get complicated when the spunky Mukku falls for a Muslim boy Mansoor(Sushant Singh Rajput) who earns his living as a pithoo.ДЄll hell breaks loose thanks to the inter-faith romance,В but the devastating floods bring in some life-changing events.
