Kalank teaser: Alia Bhatt – Varun Dhawan’s INTENSE chemistry, Sanjay Dutt – Madhuri Dixit in one frame, breath-taking visuals: 7 unmissable moments

Kalank is a moving story about love and loss, by judging the teaser it sure is not for weaklings. The love saga transpires generations and every character here as a purpose. The main highlight of the movie will be its grand visuals and of course, the beautiful camera work mapping the pre independent India. For a moment one can get confused it these are Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s sets for you have heritage havelis, beautiful topography and of course the STUNNING costumes and jewellery.

2: Varun Dhawan’s fiery entry

Varun’s entry from the first frame itself sets tone for his characterisation in the film. His introduction to the shot is him being shirtless and working in a furnace. A powerful image indeed.

3: Alia Bhatt’s steely, intense presence

Alia’s character Roop is a strong woman with her own ideals and the teaser sure gives us an idea about the same. Pure fire, Alia’s one gaze is enough to make anyone go weak in their knees. Check it out for yourself.

4: Aditya Roy Kapur – Alia Bhatt’s wedding twist

Alia Bhatt is paired opposite Varun Dhawan in the film but it is shown in the teaser that she gets married to Aditya Roy Kapur. There is a killer dialogue given to her: Jab Kisi Aur Ki Barbaadi Apni Jeet Jaisi Lage Toh Humse Zada Barbaad Koi Aur Nahi Hai Is Duniya Me.

5: Varun’s bull fight

There is an awesome sauce scene in the teaser where Varun Dhawan is charging at a bull with blood dripping out of his forehead. The scene looks breathtakingly brilliant and creates a perfect cliff-hanger.

6: Sanjay Dutt – Madhuri Dixit in ONE frame after decades

Sanjay Dutt and Madhuri Dixit have come together after DECADES and Kalank sure is a tribute to their on screen and off screen association!

7: Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan’s bittersweet moment together

The last shot of Alia and Varun meeting together on Dusshera with an effigy of Ravana burning in the backdrop is a sight for million bucks. Do check it out.
