Plot Summary

In the valley around the Kedarnath temple, Mansoor (Sushant Singh Rajput) is a local Muslim carrying tourists up to the temple. Mandakini Mishra, Mukku (Sara Ali Khan) is the daughter of a Hindu Brahmin priest who runs the hostel for pilgrims by the temple on behalf of the temple committee. She is engaged to another Brahmin Kullu (Nishant Dahiya), nephew of the head priest. He was meant to marry her older sister Brinda (Pooja Gor), but he dumped the sister and switched to her when she grew up to be prettier. And her father Briraaj Mishra (Nitish Bharadwaj) agreed. In rebellion (since there is no other way to rebel), Mukku flirts with the local boys and convinces them to come to her house and propose in order to embarrass her father and fiance.However, Mansoor is different, they both notice each other and then Mukku makes the first move and hires him as her regular porter as she goes from her family home to a neighboring village to help at her uncle's shop. She talks and talks to him and flirts outrageously and finally gets enough of a reaction to know he feels the same way. They are trapped in the rain together, share stories of their childhood, and then kiss. Her envious sister tells Mansoor that Mukku is just flirting with him as she has flirted with all the other boys. Mukku is unable to defend herself when he confronts her, but starts following him around everywhere, finally sitting in the rain outside his house. Her sister tries to cover for her, but she is found out and her family and the rest of the Brahmin community come for her planning to throw out all the Muslims. Which, not-so-coincidentally, will also open up space for the new luxury hotel they are planning in the area that Mansoor lives. This plan is led by Kullu, in partnership with the local Hindu leaders. it starts raining cats and dogs & continuously for many days.Mukku is taken home by her family who move up her wedding to the very next day. Mansoor meets Briraaj at his house, but is beaten up mercilessly by Kullu and his goons. Nevertheless Mukku keeps insisting that Mansoor will come for her before the wedding. MeanWhile the Muslim porter community prepares to leave the valley, Mansoor decides not to leave without Mukku. Mukku is married and attempts to commit suicide, however she is saved by her family, her now-husband taunts Mansoor with the news. Mansoor runs to Mukku and promises he will come back for her that night when she is recovered, so they can leave the valley together. Her husband plans to take his band of priests and kill Mansoor and drive out all the Muslims in Hindu deity Shiva's name.All of a sudden there is a cloud burst & the local dam behind Kedarnath bursts and releases large quantities of water into the valley below. Mansoor sends his mother with the other porters into the mountains and runs towards Mukku. She and her family are trying to gather the guests of their hostel in a top floor, her husband and his mother arrive driven in by the storm and Mukku refuses to go to him. And then the floor crashes down and her sister and mother are swept away along with half the other people. Mukku and her father and a few others make their way to the temple, Mansoor finds them there just as the water sweeps down. He grabs her hand in the flood, and her father holds on to her and all three are saved.After the water goes down, they make their way to a house that is still standing and wave at an Indian army helicopter that is coming to save them. Mansoor sends up the woman and child who are with them first, then Mukku's father, then Mukku, and finally prepares to go himself. But there is only space for one more person and the father of the family has not gone yet, so Mansoor sacrifices himself and sends him instead. Three years later, Mukku is still seen living with her father and running the hostel, dressed in white like a widow. 4500 people died in the Kedarnath tragedy. 70000 missing. 50000 rescued by Indian Armed Forces.
