Kedarnath

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.

Abhishek Kapoor is back again with a love story, based in Kedarnath. Starring Sushant Singh Rajput and Sara Ali Khan as lead, this film is Sara's debut film. So all eyes are on her. And the story is also about the flood which happened in 2013, where many lost their everything!

Film is a love story of a pithhu muslim guy with a dauther of a Pandit. Both stay there up in the valley. The story goes softly in the first half. And second half is full of drama. I think there are some unnecessary scenes in the entire movie. But it never becomes boring at any point of time. The flood sequence in the last 20 something minutes are superb. Though VFX could have been better. But you can enjoy the visuals which're threatening.

One scene of water flowing over the main temple had got me the biggest goosebump in recent times. My screen was housefull. And everyone was watching with a pin drop silence in the hall. The film, which is going stronger because of the word of mouth from audiences, as people feel amazing to see those last portion in theaters.

Sara Ali Khan makes her shining debut here. She will probably get all awards of best debut female. She looks stunning in all salwars. Especially in that red salwar in Qafirana song. However, I want to ask the costume designer that why her character doesn't wear any sweater or jacket or shawl despite having seated in Kedarnath! 🤔

Sushant Singh Rajput is good. Not great or anything! I only liked him in that climax scene. Neetesh Bhardwaj is fine. Others are good. The Baba at valley is superfine!

Music is above average. Amit Trivedi has given the music. Starting with Namo Namo, the cinematography is superb. Qafirana, JaanNisaar and Sweethear are nicely written songs. So, first time I am listening to Amitabh Bhattacharya's lyrics who are greater than music. Wow. Arijit Singh always rocks in any film!

Story is by Kanika Dhillon and Abhishek Kapoor. I would say they could have created more depth in characterisation. We can't feel for them. It could have been made a better film. Also didn't like the cliche helicopter scene. 😐 Dialogues are not good, as I can sense that the heroine is not a Pandit girl in real but a muslim girl, beacause of her accent. Sushant is having lesser urdu words than Sara. This could have to be done rightly.

I have been there at Kedarnath four years before this tragedy happened. I have seen the beautiful valleys. I have experienced the cold out there. And more of the above, the holyness of the temple and its surrounding. So, I went to watch this film to revisit Kedarnath. However, it is impossible for anyone to showcase look a like Kedar on screen of before the year 2013. This team have tried their best. But how can I be so amazed with this world in the movie!

On the whole, you should definitely go for this film. Because Sara has given fine performance and location needs eyesights. Watch this film in theaters only, because you can't watch it at home anyday! This film is happened to be seen on big screens. Not great, not bad. But, surely watchable.

It is a decent movie, however the sluggish build up and romantic angle ,sets it back.Some scenes are unnecessary and some emotions even seem forced , the director should have tried the genre of thriller rather than " tried and tested"(by Bollywood) romantic genre...it would have been refreshing.The movie truly sets up during the last 20 minutes...where suprisingly the VFX was convincingly well executed and amazingly appropriate...not over doing or under doing the effect..might even move you to tears. The cinematography is decent and production design team has done a decent job. The music has that classic Amit Trivedi's Kai Po Che feel to it. The editing team could have done a better job, as the romance sequence was dragging if not cringing at some points.Anyways this film DOESN'T DESERVE THE HATE it is recieving on this forum from so called reviewers, though it could have been considerably better as the only thing that I took back from the theatre were the visual effects from the climax. But do give it a watch if you are not too short on time. Peace

Great movie absolutely brilliant. If you are going expecting that you'll get to see the calamity then I'll recommend go watch the documentaries for that. This is a beautifully crafted romantic movie. Music is on point. VFX is great !!!! The story is good. The cinematography is Lovely and the message given is correct. I don't see anything wrong with the film. But we are Indians we'll rate this movie low because it might have hurt some religious sentiments of few educated illiterate people of this country. I am hindu and I appreciate this film and the message. One of those few people who consider Equality and correct things above the Religion.

People need to understand what's right and what's wrong and you don't need a religion for that.

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.
