There, she meets Zafar, a Muslim orphan, and her life takes a drastic turn that doesn't spell good for any of the people around her. Insisting that she learn music from Bahar, Roop convinces her new family to allow her to do so.

In Husnapur, Roop hears the beautiful voice of Bahar Begum (Madhuri Dixit Nene), a tawaif from Hira Mandi, a marketplace near Husnabad. Kalank Box Office Collection: Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt Starrer Off to a Good Start, Witnesses 40% Occupancy. Dev is also not on great terms with his father, Balraj (Sanjay Dutt). That wedding has been conducted at the behest of Satya (Sonakshi Sinha), Dev's first wife under unusual circumstances, though Dev maintains that the marriage won't have any love. In 1944, Roop is married off to Dev (Aditya Roy Kapur), a UK-returned newspaper owner and brought to Husnabad, near Lahore (now in Pakistan).

If only director Abhishek Varman and his co-writer Shibani Bathija removed the clutter from the screenplay and made it also better structured, then Kalank would have been a love story worth remembering. It is a beautifully structured scene, one of the many in the movie. As if Cupid is cleansing the bitterness of their hearts with his arrows and making room for love.

The first time that Roop (Alia Bhatt) and Zafar (Varun Dhawan) set eyes on each other in Kalank, there are flaming arrows being sent across in the background striking a burning Ravana effigy.
