What happens

Kedarnath is a 2018 Indian Hindi-language romantic disaster film written and directed by Abhishek Kapoor. Featuring Sushant Singh Rajput and newcomer Sara Ali Khan in lead roles, it tells an inter-faith love story between a wealthy Hindu Brahmin girl whose family owns a lodge and shops near the historic Kedarnath Temple in the Uttarakhand mountains and a Muslim boy who is a 'pithoo' (porter) working in the same vicinity. As their relationship grows closer, the pair face many obstacles, including familial disapproval and contrasting backgrounds; when the sudden rains of the 2013 Uttarakhand floods devastate the region, the couple are forced to survive against the elements and face the ultimate test of their love. The film is produced by Ronnie Screwvala of RSVP Movies in his comeback feature film venture, and by Pragya Kapoor under Guy in the Sky Pictures, with Kanika Dhillon as a co-writer. The film's production began in June 2017, and principal photography commenced on 5 September 2017. The film released on 7 December 2018 to mixed reviews with praise for Rajput's and Khan's performances, cinematography, music and storyline but criticism for its VFX, screenplay and overall execution. The film was a moderate commercial success. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
