Karan Johar’s latest production Kalank has proved to be a damp squib at the box office despite its star cast. According to trade analyst Taran Adarsh, the film, which released on 17 April, has earned Rs 66.03 crore at the box office despite having the advantage of opening during a long weekend.

Alia Bhatt, who plays one of the film’s leads, reacted to Kalank’s dismal performance during an interview at a recent awards ceremony. She said,

“I’m not going to analyse anything because I think that that’s something that is not required. Janta ki adalat sabse badi adalat hoti hai (the audience’s verdict is the most important). When the audience does not accept a film then the film should not do well. That’s just the way it is. We must accept things and try and make sure they’re not disappointed the next time.”
