Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahani Critics Review: Taran Adarsh, Komal Nahta, Anupama Chopra. Karan Johar has once again come together with his favorite Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh with his family entertainer film Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani. The film has been released today and apart from Ranveer-Alia, the biggest excitement about this film is about the screen presence of veteran actors of their time i.e. Dharmendra, Shabana Azmi, and Jaya Bachchan. Ever since the song of this film surfaced, people on social media were complaining that ‘that chemistry’ is not visible between Ranveer-Alia which should come in a romantic film. But now this film by Karan Johar has been released and I am going to tell you whether the lack of chemistry and lack of a good entertainer which the audience is feeling is fulfilled or not.
Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahani Critics Review: Taran Adarsh, Komal Nahta, Anupama Chopra
We see him as a non-serious film personality. Who has made some blockbuster but problematic films? Who together with Shah Rukh Khan spoiled the meaning of love for a whole generation. The person who gives fertilizer and water to nepotism in the film industry. However, in the last few years, he criticized the films made by him. But we dismissed it as a PR game. Then they make films like Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani. After watching the trailer, it cannot be lived without considering it a Karan Johar film. You also give up hope of expecting anything from the film. But Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani is a hallmark of the fact that Karan Johar is not that old of a filmmaker. The filmmaker whose USP used to be only grand sets, smoky star cast, expensive-fancy clothes, and good songs. This time he made a film which should have been made. However, it cannot be said about Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani that it is a perfect film. Because perfection is a myth.

ROCKY AUR RANI KII PREM KAHAANI is not an easy film to write and execute. It’s clear that KJo has moved on with the times. This is evident in the screenwriting — it’s progressive and addresses societal issues. Also women empowerment. Additionally, KJo knows how to translate emotions on screen, an aspect that plays out in the third act of the film. On the whole, ROCKY AUR RANI KII PREM KAHAANI is a well-packaged entertainer that has ample merits to strike a chord with the youth as well as families. At the box-office, it has the potential to emerge a success story.

The harried, bullied women of the Randhawa household finally find their voice (follow your heart!), the overbearing grandma (women can also be patriarchal!) discovers the error of her ways, and the men (both Singh and Bashir!) learn that respecting the elders is one thing, but no one has the right to be nasty to the ladies. Down with misogyny and patriarchy. Up with feminism. But wrap them all in dialogues leached of all nuance. It’s same old, same old: romance between the rebellious young, but loving their families, and everyone living happily after.

Except the cliches and culture appropriation of Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahani’s opulent, exuberant voice is determined to achieve just that — undo the adverse effects of popular imagery by speaking up on body shaming, racism, sexism, patriarchy, misogyny, toxic masculinity, bigotry, elitism and conservatism in ways that may not seem like a big deal to the enlightened ones but influence ones in need of desperate intervention.It’s the age of influencers, after all.As far as prem kahanis go, I am still rooting for Team Rahul and Anjali, but if we are talking subversion, Rocky and Rani’s fully filmi revolution could truly be a start of ‘soch nayi’ if ‘swad wahi.’

All said and done, this has everything that the Bollywood family entertainers were missing; it is exactly what would transpire when Ranveer’s CRAZY makes some steamy love with KJo’s ECCENTRIC.

The second half does slow down towards the end and KJo feels a bit caught up in the trope of having too much on his platter. Nevertheless, ‘Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani’ is a family entertainer that is a gentle reminder of Karan’s legacy and his love for blockbuster cinema. Go watch it at a theatre near you. Or in Jaya ji’s words – bas keh diya so keh diya!

The story takes a while to set up, and the first half is a bit slow, but it picks up pace and gets super-entertaining in the second half. The way family matters resolve is predictable and simplistic. Yet, it subtly depicts the winds of change when Rocky’s parents ask for Rani’s hand in marriage, saying they want their son to be the Chatterjees’ damad instead of asking their daughter to be their bahu. At heart, Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani is a full-on entertaining and sweet love story, with flashy and feisty characters given to us in a well-wrapped shiny package.

The maverick filmmaker Karan Johar, who returns to the director’s chair after 7-long years, brings out a delightful family drama, which is not boring even for a single frame. Apart from showing cultural differences in the most apt manner, which is complemented by beautiful songs, exotic locations, vibrant feels and larger-than-life sets, KJo gives some important social messages of contemporary society in a subtle yet impactful manner. On the whole, Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani is easily one of the best films of the year and needs to be watched on the big screen.

Karan Johar shouldn’t take too long a sabbatical between directing films and should start filming his next pronto. Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani is a complete entertainer, having something for everybody. Watch it for its funny as hell storyline and some cracking performances from the entire ensemble cast.
