Ihr Vater Brijraaj will unbedingt, dass Mukku den angesehenen Brahmanen Kullu heiratet. Doch Mukku macht sich nichts aus arrangierten Ehen, gerade dann nicht, wenn der Bräutigam eigentlich der eigenen Schwester versprochen war. Um ihren Vater für seine Engstirnigkeit büßen zu lassen, lockt sie einen Kerl nach dem anderen nach Hause, die ihr alle den Hof machen. Doch dann trifft sie auf Mansoor , einen Träger für Pilger - und plötzlich ist alles anders. Mansoor lässt sich nicht von Mukkus Schönheit blenden und springt auch nicht sofort auf ihre Schwärmereien an. Als Mukku den muslimischen Mansoor für eine Woche engagiert, verlieben sich die beiden unsterblich in einander. Doch eine furchtbare Flut und Mukkus geplante Hochzeit mit Kullu, stellen sich der jungen Liebe unaufhaltsam in den Weg...

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.

The film's principal photography began on 5 September 2017. The first motion poster of the film released on 19 August 2017. The first look of Sara Ali Khan came out on 8 October 2017. Rajput completed filming his portion on 16 June 2018.

On 5 December 2018, a PIL (Public interest litigation) filed by Prakash Rajput, head of the IHS religious society, was met with disapproval from the High Court of Gujarat. Rajput asserted that the film hurt Hindu sentiments by portraying Muslim-Hindu love, and that it had a kissing scene, which was not appropriate for family audiences.
