The much-awaited Kalank is finally out (April 17) and has received mixed reviews from critics and audiences alike. Where some have loved the grand sets in the film, others have decried the flawed storyline.
Film critic and trade analyst Taran Adarsh himself took to Twitter and shared his experience of watching the drama. He wrote:

But while Taran Adarsh was quite sombre while sharing his review of Kalank, netizens gave their reviews a funny spin. With Rs 21.60 crore, Kalank has recorded the best opening day of 2019. This marks Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt's highest opening day ever. The film, however, doesn't seem to have made a mark with the audience. Here are some of the funniest Kalank memes we found:
mid-day reviewed the film as: "By no means is Kalank an unbearable film, despite being nearly 2 hours 48 minutes long. But there is a constant tryst to divert our attention from its storyline; Varman distracts us with his suggestive background scores, special numbers and sometimes even the perfectly created Manish Malhotra costumes. It's also equally problematic that a film set in pre-Partition doesn't stir up many political conversations throughout the narrative."
Twitterati knows just how to make the most of every situation, right? You may or may not go watch Kalank, but these funny memes will surely make your day!
