Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani

Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt face off as two unlikely lovers whose families clash over progressiveness and tradition – culminating in a finale that out-pinks Barbie.

[It] marks a tectonic shift in mainstream Hindi cinema’s perception and representation of gender dynamics...

Rocky aur Rani kii Prem Kahani is very much its own movie. It’s delicious eye-candy with a rebellious core. Despite the flabby portions, I exited with a smile, wishing that Rocky was real and wanting to give my family a jhappi.

This Alia Bhatt-Ranveer Singh film has ginormous sets, blingy naach-gaana and a lot of emotions, but little originality.

Two things that make an immediate and wonderful impression are Eka Lakhani’s costuming and Ishita Moitra’s dialogue writing.

This is a long movie, but it never feels like it. It’s a movie that makes me smile even when thinking about it. Do yourself a favor, find this movie and watch it.

Karan Johar delivers one of the best Bollywood films of 2023 in the form of Ranveer Singh & Alia Bhatt's Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani.

The film is a shiny but shallow family drama that uses disappointingly obsolete methods to serve up contemporary, pertinent theories about the need to be mindful in love, loyalty and language.

The rich pool of talent led by Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt is let down by shallow writing that gains momentum only in the second half.

Directed by Karan Johar, Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani stands out as one of the director's most transgressive films, challenging ideas that dominate Indian society.
