It was a nice romance, loved the aesthetics and all yet the portrayal of Islam was a bit iffy. The partition was violent for everyone. Still good though, loved Zaffar and Roop.

Kalank offers unexpected and welcome nuance for a mainstream Bollywood film.

Shubhra Gupta

The Indian Express

Kalank doesn't really lift off the screen. The whole feels like a giant set, stately and ponderous and minus impact; the cast all costumed and perfumed and largely life-less, sparking only in bits and pieces.

Rated: 1.5/5

Anupama Chopra

Film Companion

The film is an operatic fantasy filled with staggering sets, swirling fabric and heartache, but to enjoy it, you must wholly suspend disbelief.

Rated: 3/5

Bollywood historical romance falls flat; some violence.

So much happening in this one movie, all of it in excruciating slow-motion for an inexplicable reason...

It's uneven but enjoyable, and you'll decide if you'll like within the first 20 minutes.
