In 2019, a big budget film hit the theatres. There were not just one or two but 8 big stars in this film. But neither the big budget nor these big stars could attract the audience to the theatres. The film could not even earn its cost. Yes, we are talking about the 2019 blockbuster film Kalank.

Kalank starred Sanjay Dutt, Madhuri Dixit, Sonakshi Sinha, Aditya Roy Kapur, Kriti Sanon, Varun Dhawan, Kunal Kemmu and Alia Bhatt in lead roles. But this film could not do anything special at the box office. The film was a complete flop and the producers suffered huge losses.

Talking about the budget of this film, 'Kalank' has been made at a cost of Rs 140 crore. Despite actors like Sanjay Dutt-Madhuri Dixit and Alia Bhatt and spectacular sets, this film was completely rejected by the audience. Despite the presence of such big stars in the film, the audience said that there is no concrete story in it. The film received negative reviews from audiences and film critics. The story of this film was very weak due to which it could not perform well in theatres.

Sanjay Dutt and Madhuri Dixit were seen together after years in this multi-starrer film. Apart from these two veteran actors, Sonakshi Sinha, Aditya Roy Kapur, Kriti Sanon, Kunal Khemu, Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt were seen in important roles in the film. Made at a cost of Rs 140 crore, this film did not perform well at the box office. The producers had high expectations about the film, but soon all hopes were dashed when the number of viewers in theaters started declining.

Talking about the film 'Kalank', the title of this film was earlier kept as 'Shiddat'. Later due to some reasons its title was changed to 'Kalank'. Sridevi was first offered the role played by Madhuri Dixit in the film. He had signed the film, but Sridevi died before the shooting of the film could begin. The shooting of the film started in April 2018, but before that Sridevi died on 24 February.
