The first full-fledged trailer of the upcoming film Kedarnath dropped today. And from the looks of it, the movie is definitely going to draw in the audience when it opens in theatres. Kedarnath, directed by Abhishek Kapoor, stars Sushant Singh Rajput as the male lead - a Muslim man working as a pitthu at the Hindu temple of Kedarnath. Sara Ali Khan is making her debut with the film, playing the love interest of Sushant. The couple finds itself in deep waters, quite literally, as nature wreaks havoc on the holy city of Kedarnath. The romantic tale set on the backdrop of a real-life disaster, Kedarnath tragedy of 2013, goes with the tagline Love is a Pilgrimage. Well, with the trailer it seems love is a very beautifully shot, neatly edited, honestly acted out, melodious film.
We are introduced to the tension in the love story which is the opposing parents. But that seems to be the least of Sara and Sushant's concern as a bigger disaster strikes them as the trailer nears the end. The shots of the flood are spine-chilling and show that India has the potential to make a good disaster-based film like The Day After Tomorrow, Titanic, or San Andreas. Sara and Sushant share a good chemistry on screen. The actress surely has spunk in her which is evident from her strong screen presence. Also, we have to give credit to the background score that is just as melodious as it is haunting.
Watch the Kedarnath trailer below:
Kedarnath has garnered more than enough controversies already to keep the headlines in the news cycle dedicated to itself. On one hand, the movie has had a rushed release in a bid to avoid a clash with Shah Rukh Khan's Zero, on the other, Hindu seers have an objection against the story.
Kedarnath has been produced by RSVP Films, who have brought us pretty cool movies this year including Love Per Square Foot and Lust Stories. Co-producer is Abhishek Kapoor himself under The Guy In The Sky banner. Kedarnath is set to release on December 7.
