Karan Johar’s period drama Kalank hit theatres on 17 April and the initial reactions are, well, not promising. Several Twitter users have called out the film for being boring and predictable and entirely underserving of its three-hour run time. Some have pointed out that while the sets are elaborate, there are blatant historical inaccuracies in the film, which is supposed to be set in pre-Independence India of the 1940s.

A few Tweeple have cheekily declared that the eye candy offered in the form of Varun Dhawan and Aditya Roy Kapur is Kalank’s only saving grace, while others have praised Sonakshi Sinha’s performance and wished she could have been given more screen time.
