Newly released movie Kalank has failed to impress people and critics who have expressed grim reviews after the first show of the movie on an opening day. The film could not live up to the expectation of the audiences.
The promotional campaigns of the movie had set the high bar which unfortunately did not match up to the expectations of the people. Since then netizens have been sharing a meme on Twitter to mock the Karan Johar’s production movie.
#Kalank is Karan Joharish melodrama with no reality, no depth, but much glamour and much glycerine.

#OneWordReview…#Kalank: DISAPPOINTING.
Rating: ⭐️⭐️
Doesn’t live up to the expectations… Writing, music, length play spoilsport… Few dramatic portions work… Second half engaging in parts… Good climax… Varun, Alia, Madhuri, Aditya, Kunal Kemmu top notch. #KalankReview pic.twitter.com/rJgyNi3Ain— taran adarsh (@taran_adarsh) April 17, 2019
