Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani Review: Ranveer Singh, Alia’s film is full of entertainment, but the mess is no less

Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahaani Review: Karan Johar has once again come together with his favorite Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh with his family entertainer film ‘Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani’. 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 of 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.

Randhawa and Chatterjee’s relationship
Talking about the story, Rocky Randhawa (Ranveer Singh) is a millionaire boy, who has a lot of money and a family business of sweets, of which he has to become the CEO later. Rocky’s grandmother is Dhanalakshmi Randhawa (Jaya Bachchan) whose daughters-in-law put a scarf on her head. Rocky’s grandfather (Dharmendra) remembers Kabhi Aati Hai Kabhi Jaate Hai, Daddy Ji (Aamir Bashir) who handles all the business with his mother. On the other side is Rani Chatterjee (Alia Bhatt), who is a journalist and a well educated, open minded girl. Her father (Tota Roy Chowdhary) is a Kathak dancer-teacher and mother (Churni Ganguly) is a professor of English at DU. Rani’s Thakuma i.e. grandmother is Gemini (Shabana Azmi) who is very open-minded. This background itself explains that these are people coming from two very different backgrounds. But then Rocky falls in love with Rani and this Punjabi turned Bengali girl falls in love. But before giving this relationship the name of marriage, Rani decides that Rocky will stay with her family and she will stay with Rocky’s family for 3 months. Now in the meantime there is a cultural exchange and a lot of fun. This is the part of this story that I can tell you and to know the rest of the twists and secrets you will have to go to the theatres.

Loud background music, frills, everything will be found here
Director Karan Johar has his own way of telling a story and ‘Rocky Aur Rani..’ is no different. Money or expenses are not an issue in this story of the world of the rich. Here the arena is also decorated in lights and colorful style. When Durga Puja takes place, the entire pandal and the people standing in it are all seen dressed in red dress code. Everything in typical Karan Johar style… but with this it has to be said that Karan Johar knows what ingredients should be there in a family entertainer film. You will get all that in this film. There are many moments when you will laugh a lot, you will also clap. There are many such elements in this film which make this film worth watching in theatres. But today, seeing so much rich content in OTT, you have become habituated to find logic and find loopholes, which many times in this entertainment ride, the light of logic will go off.

Important film came out of Karan Johar’s quiver
Talking about the script, this time Karan Johar has chosen such a topic, which has been continuously being talked about for some time. Girls become free, girls openly talk about their privacy after marriage and this is a good initiative. For years, girls who are independent and talk about their needs have been shown on screen like vamps. With examples like ‘Biwi ho to aisi’ and ‘Ghar ho to aisa’, only ‘poor women’ wrapped in saris have been shown as good and cultured women. But now cinema has also weighed the lot of these free women on the lines of humanity and this is a good thing. In ‘Tu Jhoothi ​​Main Makkar’, Shraddha Kapoor, who was asking for her space, has finally been taught a moral lesson by explaining the ‘importance of family’, while Karan Johar’s film is far ahead of that. It gives full freedom to the queen to express her point of view.

‘Rocky and Rani’s love story’ actually shows the story of many couples of this country, in which while making love, these promises are made that ‘Tere Vaast Falak Se Chand Le Aaunga’, but after marriage this untold condition also comes to the fore. That is, ‘If my mother likes this moon, then give it to her. So much adjustment will have to be done. In fact, despite all the shortcomings in this style, it becomes an important film.

Talking about stereotypes only stereotypes were shown
Although this film is not flawless (devoid of shortcomings). In its story, you will find things disturbing at many places. Especially the entry scene of Alia Bhatt, in which she is seen as a journalist. This scene is quite strange and far from reality. It will be digested in the same way as people digested seeing the ‘Student of the Year’ school. The Randhawas have been shown as uncultured, uncultured Punjabis running after money, while the over-minded Bengali listening to Robindra Shongeet. Both these styles show many stereotypes. The first half of the story is full of comedy, while the second half is full of emotions.

Talking about acting, Ranveer Singh has become a typical Delhi based Punjabi boy, in which he is amazing. Whenever Ranveer is on the screen, no one is seen in front of him. Be it emotion scenes or comedy, his innocence is amazing. Alia looks very beautiful in the film. Although Ranveer has overshadowed him in most of the scenes. You will love the chemistry of Dharmendra and Shabana Azmi and the old songs. Jaya Bachchan has got a lot of screen space in the film, but she will be seen giving you only theory-laden looks everywhere.

Even after a lot of exaggerations, this film of Karan Johar is an entertainer film, which has full power to bring the audience to the theaters and entertain them. Although its length is a bit high and it could have been tightened, especially in the second half. 3 stars to this film from my side.
