Kedarnath presents the love story of a Hindu tourist Mukku (played by Sara Ali Khan), who is on a pilgrimage to the hill shrine of Kedarnath, and Mansoor, a Muslim (played by Sushant Singh Rajput). The story is set against the backdrop of the devastating Uttarakhand floods of 2013.
The film has been applauded for Sara’s performance and it’s breathtaking cinematography. Earlier, while reviewing Kedarnath, film critic Taran wrote that it is an “unconvincing love story.”
Kedarnath is the production of RSVP and Guy In The Sky Pictures and it hit the screens on December 7.
