Anurag Kashyap confesses watching Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani “twice”; praises Karan Johar for addressing snobbery, all kinds of shame and phobias

In his candid review, Anurag Kashyap labelled Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani as the “Best Karan Johar film by far.” He commended Johar for staying true to his signature style while fearlessly pushing the boundaries. The filmmaker expressed his admiration for Karan Johar’s storytelling and hailed the movie as the second KJo film that he not only watched but also recommended to others.

The film’s strong writing, coupled with the impeccable performances by Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt, left a lasting impression on Anurag Kashyap. He particularly appreciated the sparkling chemistry between the lead pair and applauded the dialogue writing that authentically depicted how people converse in real life.

One of the standout aspects of Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani for Anurag was the captivating unrequited love story portrayed by Dharmendra and Shabana Azmi. Additionally, he praised Jaya Bachchan’s portrayal of a matriarch with patriarchal villainy, lauding the performances of other supporting actors like Tota Roy Chowdhury, Churni Ganguly, and Bashira Amir.

Anurag Kashyap also highlighted the film’s clever use of classic songs and humorous jabs, including a playful nod to Somen Mishra with the song ‘Meri Pyaari Bindu.’ The film’s ability to address societal conditioning, snobbery, shame, and phobias with humour and “joharisms” thoroughly impressed the filmmaker.

Kashyap praised Karan Johar’s audacity to challenge conventional norms and weave a story that resonates with audiences on a deep emotional level. He particularly appreciated the scenes featuring Ranveer Singh and Tota Roy Chowdhury dancing to ‘Dola Re Dola Re’ and Alia Bhatt’s powerful monologue post the Durga Pujo scene.

Anurag Kashyap also acknowledged the innovative approach to the film’s song sequences, where Karan Johar opted for shorter versions, deviating from the norm in mainstream Hindi cinema.

After playing in theatres for 10 days, the Salman Khan starrer Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan has entered the Rs. 100 Crore Club. It has taken a while for the film to reach here since pre-pandemic it was an entirely different scenario where Salman Khan starrers were scoring as much in their opening weekend itself. However, these are different times and hence the kind of momentum that was evidenced for films in 2019 or before is just not coming in. Yes, there are exceptions like Pathaan or Brahmastra but then those have a different kind of pitch and aren’t regular affairs. This can be seen in the way how collections are coming for the Farhad Samji directed film in the second weekend, what with Sunday collections staying low at Rs. 3.50 crores. For a big holiday release, one would have been expecting a double digit score at the bare minimum on second Sunday but then that has hardly happened for any film during last 18 odd months ever since Akshay Kumar’s Sooryavanshi opened theatres aga
