Plot summary
The Kedarnath valley in the Uttarakhand mountains draws pilgrims up to its temple, and Mansoor Khan earns his living there as a porter. He lives with his mother Ameena, who stitches clothes to add to their small income. Mandakini, known as Mukku, is the younger daughter of the Hindu priest Brijraj, who runs a lodge for pilgrims near the temple. Her family has engaged her to Kullu, the nephew of the head priest. To embarrass her father and her fiancé, Mukku flirts with local boys and has them come to the house to propose. She and Mansoor notice each other at a cafe where both are watching a cricket match, and she hires him as her porter for trips to her uncle's shop.

Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Kedarnath (2018)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Lead actress Sara Ali Khan was simultaneously shooting her second film, Simmba; when the Kedarnath producers' court case gave her free days she gave them to the Simmba crew, so director Abhishek Kapoor took her to court, and they settled out of court with Khan agreeing to split her time between both films.
- During Kedarnath's production, a dispute between director Abhishek Kapoor and the producers KriArj Entertainment in February 2018 led to a lawsuit that threatened the film's completion; the court case ended with KriArj dropping out entirely when Ronnie Screwvala's RSVP Movies took over.
- On 5 December 2018, Prakash Rajput, head of the IHS religious society, filed a PIL against Kedarnath claiming it hurt Hindu sentiments by portraying Muslim-Hindu love and showing a kissing scene unfit for family audiences; the High Court of Gujarat dismissed it as "a publicity stunt" and fined him Rs. 5,000.
- Two lawyers from Andheri complained to Mumbai police and the Films Division asking that Kedarnath not be released, saying it promoted 'love jihad' and that its producers had cooked up an imaginary love story; on 6 December 2018, the day before release, the Bombay High Court dismissed their plea and let the film open as planned.
