Kedarnath Movie Review

How divine is the love of a couple who meet at the sanctum of Kedarnath temple?

Mansoor (Sushant Singh Rajput) a tourist guide helps pilgrims in making the arduous journey to the Kedarnath temple and Mukku (Sara Ali Khan), daughter of a priest Briraaj Mishra (Nitish Bhardwaj) is a happy go lucky girl, engaged to be married to Kullu (Nishant Dahiya).

Movie is set in the backdrop of Kedarnath Temple town tragedy in 2013. 

Mukku meets Mansoor during her visit to the holy Kedarnath temple. The cupid strikes and the two fall in love. 

The relationship of Mukku and Mansoor faces the ultimate test on both social front, with families objecting this relation as well as their battle for survival during the Kedarnath deluge and natural disaster.

Movie has been surrounded with controversies due to different religious backgrounds of both the lovers. 

However, Kedarnath with its simple love story is a good watch. 

Editing is good but could have been crisp. Scenic beauty of Kedarnath Temple along the Alaknanda River is picturesque and well captured by the camera. Direction by Abhishek Kapoor is good. The cinematography of the movie is good. 

Sara Ali Khan as Mukku gives a brilliant performance in her debut movie and is a treat to watch. Sushant Singh Rajput enthralls with his performance. Other actors in the movie including Pooja Gor as Mukku's sister, Mukku's father and other characters are good and have played their part well. 

Music of the movie by Amit Trivedi captures heart of the town with melodious and soulful songs including one spiritual song number Namo Namo (dedicated to Lord Shiva) 

***.5 stars
