KALANK Movie Review

-

#Cast : @aliaabhatt, @varundvn @aslisona, @adityaroykapur@madhuridixitnene @duttsanjay , Kunal Kemmu

#Director: Abhishek Varman 
#Story: A complex love story set during India’s Partition era, where the young Roop (Alia Bhatt) is torn between respect for husband Dev (Aditya Roy Kapur) and her newfound love for Zafar (Varun Dhawan). While their back stories and heart-breaking love saga unfolds, the history of India takes an epic turn, from where there is no coming back

#Performance: The biggest highlight of the film is the star-studded cast and thankfully, the performances measure up to the epic ensemble. Alia Bhatt leads the way in a role that showcases vulnerability and strength in equal measure. Varun Dhawan, flaunting his superbly toned, greased body looks great for the part and he shows immense intensity that his conflicted character demands. Another stand-out performance comes from Aditya Roy Kapur who excels in the stoic silences and reserved nature of his character. Madhuri Dixit-Nene, Sanjay Dutt and Sonakshi Sinha chip in with moments of pitch-perfect drama, too. Kunal Kemmu as Zafar's friend Abdul, brings in tension and thrills in his grey-shaded role. The joint efforts of the cast add the proverbial punch to the experience of Kalank.

#Negative : While Kalank scales up the production in every aspect, at times, the world that it recreates looks a little too plush and away from reality.At 2 hours and 48 minutes, with a tighter edit the story could have wrapped up much sooner though.

#Positives : The film features arresting frames full of grand visuals captured by cinematographer Binod Pradhan and the music by Pritam has stand out songs like Ghar More Pardesiya and the Kalank title track. Kalank is a true labour of love that tells you a story laced with beautiful moments that will tug at your heartstrings.
Final verdict : A must watch for this multi starrer film ..a perfectly crafted film 
Rating : 3.5 - Milind Rokade

Tips For Acting  Know your lines This is kind of a no-brainer—know your lines. If you don't know your lines when it comes time to shoot, you'll stop up production and then everybody will get cranky. But when it comes to  how  to learn your lines, Bruno suggests "rote memorization". This means that you memorize just the actual words without any inflection or rhythm attached, so when it comes time to change up the way you say it, you won't be thrown off by having to deliver your lines in a different way. http://www.cinecraftacademy.com Follow us on https://www.facebook.com/cinecraftacademy https://www.instagram.com/cinecraftacademy/ Manage your time on set Don't waste time between takes; prepare for the next one. You could go over your lines, go over the blocking so you know exactly where you're supposed to be, and get into character. However, Bruno says don't go 100% with getting into the right state of mind for the scene. He advises t...

Costume design is a powerful storytelling device : They play a pivotal role in the storytelling process, from the size of your shots to the way you dress the set, and one such element you should never ignore or leave to chance is costume design. The way you dress your characters is just as important as how you light your scene or direct your actors. Costumes that communicate : Costumes speak volumes. They can tell audiences where and when something is taking place, who your character is, what's going on in a scene, and what is going on in the story. Costumes give your characters their persona and your story visual depth, so it's not enough to have your actors wear the clothes they came to set with. Take some time to develop the costumes of each character and see how you can communicate story elements with your choices. Make them pop : Another thing you'll want to consider when designing costumes is color, not just of the clothes you'll be using, but of the...
