After creating a huge buzz with a teaser and songs, the makers of Kalank finally released the film’s trailer on Wednesday. The film starring Varun Dhawan, Alia Bhatt, Sonakshi Sinha, Aditya Roy Kapur, Madhuri Dixit and Sanjay Dutt is set in 1945, pre-Independence India and is a tale of eternal love.
In an extension of the same tone established in the teaser, the trailer gives an insight into the world of star-crossed lovers, giving viewers a hint of the complex relationships in the film. With elaborate sets and gorgeous costumes, the film certainly seems to be inspired by Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s period dramas, but it is unclear how this translates on screen.
Watch the trailer here:
With peppy songs and dance numbers, the film already has garnered a lot of attention with its meme-worthy dialogues in the teaser. And the elaborate two-minute video seems to have given meme makers plenty of content to work with.
Within a few minutes of being released, #KalankTrailer dominated Twitter thanks to the memes. While the train scene featuring Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan reminded people of DDLJ’s iconic scene, it also became fodder for memes. Others used Bhatt’s line, ‘Mera pass khone ko kuch hai nahi’ to show how it was completely relatable. Sample these:
