Karan Johar's magnum opus ' Kalank' opened today and while the movie looked like a beautiful, aesthetic (but heavily inspired from Sanjay Leela Bhansali's works) watch, the majority of the reaction from the audience today has been quite 'meh'.

Kalank review  -
story - fully bakwas,
screenplay - dull,
music - routine
Overall not worth watching @karanjohar â­ star...

#Kalank Review : Headache Guranteed.. So instead of buying popcorn.. Buy Amrutanjan or Zandu Balm.. Hackneyed Plot.. Worse acting.. @aliaa08  Constipated... @MadhuriDixit Old Haggered... @duttsanjay Buffoon... @Varun_dvn only Body No Soul... @sonakshisinha Khaaaaamoooosshhhhhhhhh

Many are upset that the narrative was a concept stolen from SLB's style and reworked in a weird manner with a good star cast.

#KalankReview :
They tried to imitate #SLB's scale and vision and believe me they were spot on visualy but where's the writing man?.Screenplay lethargic and drowsy , waited eagerly for an engaging moment but not a single engrossing pal , while same old formula to sell .(1/2) .

However, some people are loving the movie for some particular elements. A few people loved it for the cinematography and the plot, while for others, watching the beautiful Madhuri Dixit on screen was reason enough.

Jus saw #Kalank at d screening in  presence of the cast. One more reason to watch it is for @MadhuriDixit
And the grace she brings to celluloid. Her scene with @duttsanjay
N @Varun_dvn is epic. The bollywood masala movie buffs will love it #kalankreview pic.twitter.com/zoSwUDhjB0

Don't believe the negative reviews. Kalank is like Game of Thrones and Avengers Endgame. Please watch it in theaters ð#KalankReview

Nevertheless, if a good cinematic view and watching your favourite stars are good enough reasons for you to watch 'Kalank', then you should catch it soon.
