Rocky Aur Rani ki Prem Kahaani | LONG REVIEW LIVESTREAM | Sucharita T, Rahul Desai, Ishita S 

"You are takaoing?" Mazey hi aa gaye doston. What was your fav moment from the film, bataao?

My fvt character in a the movie was Rani's father played by Tota Roy Chowdhury. It was sooo well played.

I interpreted the post Pujo scene differently. It is one thing to confront your parents(even using the most brutal language ever) and another thing to see them getting confronted by others, even though they might deserve it. Rocky is trying to reconcile all that he has learnt and his disgust for his family’s toxicity with his love and respect for them which he grew up on. That conversation needed to be private between him and Tijori but Rani pushes him to tackle the situation the way she would have tackled it. Hence it’s obvious it escalated because the hardest thing during family confrontation is to battle with the feeling that you are somehow betraying them and it was something that Rocky’s character would have struggled with. To me, that scene was not showing any of them to be right or wrong hut very accurately portraying what would actually happen in such a situation and I connected to it and Rocky’s dilemma hard.

Loved the movie for questioning patriarchy and Ranveer's change in mindset towards being a better man unlike that pathetic misogynist movie tu jhooti main makkar..Jus hated TJMM...This movie is a refreshing change from movies like arjun reddy and tu jhooti main makkar

I absolutely loved the movie. Laughed throughout. I have recently discovered that most of the writers were Bengali, which is why the infusion of Bengali and Hindi dialogues worked so well. I wish they had shown the same love and care to Punjabi dialogues. Again, it felt like the dialogues were written in Hindi and Punjabi words were peppered over them. As someone whose mother tongue is Punjabi but grew up speaking a lot of Hindi and English due to schooling and upbringing, that is not how an urban Punjabi speaks. Yes there is an infusion of Hindi, but there is a lot more nuance to which words and emotions come out in Punjabi. Dhanlaxmi as the original Punjabi matriarch, should have spoken perfect Punjabi and then the language could be distilled from there to younger generations. Udta Punjab and Manmarziyan are two excellent examples of Punjabi dialogue writing without losing the audience in translation.

I love love love that they didn’t forgive and make nice with Dhanlaxmi at the end. Elders dont get to obtain the privilege of forgiveness (when their faults and abuse span decades like that of Dhanlaxmi, I don’t mean for small stuff), just because they are older and will probably die sooner.

The son's change of heart actually kinda made sense to me. He just lost his dad - a person who, even when alive, he was kept apart from. The anger he displayed was a part of his grief for losing his connection with Dharm whilst he was alive. Death does weird shit to us, henna? Unless we are Dhanyalakshmi, coz she don't change for shit 😅

None of you felt a little uncomfortable about Dharmendra meeting Shabana on the sly directly cheating on his wife? As horrible as she is, there is not even a thought for trust being so massively betrayed? I’m glad they addressed Shabana’s affair - justification is not necessary but addressing was

Guys stop glorifying badtameezi. Nobody said she slapped him, not in the movie at least. Everybody accused her of raising hand at his dad which she did. Is Rocky allowed to do it to her parent and get away with it? Rani did get physical with Rocky’s dad. There is no two ways about it. Which is why she apologizes to him and his dad in the end. Why else would she apologize?

As a Bengali, the Bengali dialogs sounded so a little fake! I wish the Bengali characters (like Soumya) was actually Bengali who would do a better job with the dialogs. Alia did a fabulous job acting, but could not be convincingly Bengali the way Deepika managed in piku! Jaya Bachchan who's actually Bengali, played a Punjabi woman! Though I must say, the Bengali spoken by Shabana Azmi was so on point, it's amazing!

Love how dedicated ishita is to understand the director's view...like comprehending that ur not watching ur view but someone else’s

Karan Johar kept his style of film making intact so many stereotypes. But yet realizing his earlier films. Some regressive thoughts that were earlier preached now projecting progressive thought process. Karan Johar is known for opulence which is here as well but at the same time showcasing many social taboo. I liked the point where a character says creative/art ka koi gender nahi hota. Then Dola re sequence right before dhindhora. Or rocky saying to rani's family that mujhe yeh aata he nahi my heart went for him and I was in tears. Because I have seen a lot of people like this who come from these flamboyant family they are caged like this. Or dhanlaxmi son telling her ki mard banate banate Insaan Banana bhul gayi. Karan has unapologetically and unabashedly (his fav word) pun intended has made himself a better version of himself with this movie. Though the length could have been better and music as well that you expect from a kjo movie. But overall amazing movie. And alia Bhatt manish Malhotra clothes wow ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Please ask Karan Johar to release uncut version of the movie with all the scenes. There are so many scenes that are missing from the movie, that are part of songs or even the trailer.

I also thought Alia would take a backseat to Ranvir’s loud role but she probably knew she would be in good hands with Kjo because actually i was marveling at how she lights up the screen even in those parts where she was just reacting. Never appreciated Alia this much in a movie just for being there and laughing affectionately at Rocky

I don't understand the didn't raise her hand part. She was aggressive in that scene. So even if she didn't technically raise her hand....the aggression cannot be discounted (which is what the other characters reactions were to her).

You forgot to mention Lootera where he was so good and he even looked very handsome ❤

I don’t know which world you guys come from but no one is allowed to physically handle my parents which Rani did. Would Rani do that to her own dad or mom? If Rocky didn’t stand up for her dad, I would’ve lost respect for him.

11:21 no, but the character played by Churni Ganguly in real life speaks like this i remember.

I so agree..I was surprised I liked the film. Enjoyed it thoroughly. I wasn’t planning to see it at all until I saw the positive reviews

Loved it. Bhalo khela holo

"Gajni or sajni "

Ranveer shot for this movie during the pandemic, much before he had the down phase. You guys are pathetic for attributing his nuanced acting to him being humbled by his flops. Like as if he was a bad actor before that.

Favourites together ❤

Love all of your content. One feedback on these long reviews though - the constant back and forth of the screens is quite distracting. Also, the panelists’ windows should be bigger than the film shots. There could be a smaller window somewhere in the corner which shows film posters/scenes while the focus remains on the panelists. The super chat sometimes covers the speaker’s window completely which isn’t a great viewing experience.

Congrats on 90,000 subscribers Sucharita-ji Thank you for this LONG REVIEW

Janak janak payal baje Sagarasangamam - Kamal hasan Men - dancers So k Jo not the first But looooooove the movie , saw it twice

Love love loved the movie ❤❤ ❤❤❤❤

The least can you do is get a good internet connection yar btw love you guys

Rocky & Rani is an above average movie (sorry Kjo fans- it’s same story line done before) but watch it for Ranveer Singh He is soooooooooooooo ammmazing, gully boy was his best but this too is right up there 🙌🙌🙌🙌one time watch for him ❤️ #ranveersingh #RockyAurRaniKiiPremKahaani also love the message 💕❤️🥰so much love in the movie- also all actors were in point 🙌 Full disclosure the only movie I ever liked of Kjo is DDLJ after that I even kuch kuch I was not cause I couldn’t relate and too loud for me, I personally love movies of Zoya Akhtar and Ekta Kapoor or so many directors that I can’t name, same for sanjay leela the only movie I loved of him is Black where Amitabh shines so did Rani. Ok here is my review The best parts of movie 1- Ranveer Singh- he takes the trophy because he could have been over the top but he made it just enough- he shined in every scene 2- dialogues, incredible whoever wrote them was incredible never a cringe moment but just beautiful 3- casting- every actor was born for those roles, did full justice 4-Alia Bhatt- she never looked more beautiful and was perfect for the role but was given limited role which she delivered her best 5- I teared up seeing kathak by both of them 6- messaging ammmmazing that makes it movie with the soul What I did not like 1- few songs looked forced 2- too loud sets for me, can we please show chitra Ranjan park the way it is, why every family needs to be rich in order to be visible 3- storyline has been same progressive versus conservative even though movie addresses few things with class but it did need to be this loud even though it’s KJo My Bollywood all time fav movies are Gully boy, burfi, Dil Chahata hai, lsad, Queen, Dhoni, Band Baaja, ji jeeta, Hera pheri, Lagan, old movie golmal, tere bin Laden, andaaz apna apna, piku, omg, khosla ka ghonsla, jab we met, andhadhoondh, lage raho, bhaag milkha, tanu weds Manu, Bahubali, Chak De , 3 idiots, Jane bhi do and so many more❤️💕 I am sorry Kjo lovers I know he is fav of many so I apologize in advance🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Love these reviews, please use a stable Internet connection

Is Rahul desai on notice period inFilm companion 😮😅

I got very surprised by the highly positive reviews 😂

I had high expectations after watching such rave reviews. The best thing anout the movie is Ranveer Singh...he is soo good... I feel yet again karan johar has only touched upon surface level. Ranveer's mom and sisters arc was not great ... I felt the bengali household conflicts and track was much better.. rocku and chaterjees Chemistry was fire...

Making a 100-crore movie is not difficult in India. You just need 2 lac people to buy a Rs500 movie ticket which is not at all difficult in 1.4 billion population especially if a movie is given 2 weekends to stay in theaters. Moreover, there are enough Indians abroad, which adds. It may look huge in monetary terms but actually it indicates a very low cinema footfall.

Good movie

aaj mummy ke saath movie dekha bengaluru mai!! My only problem was that 2-3 kissing scenes the!! im being very honest!! But trust me both i and my mumloved the movie!! It wasnt preachy and it was entertaining aur msg bhi saath mai msg kiya!!

Movie was a lot of fun ✔️ most importantly it was fresh, we know all of this - harmfulness of masculinity and patriarchy affecting us all in general. But the best part is all of it is fun and new and thus entertaining

Hiring Rajeev Masand paid off lol

can they get better internet connection please??? in the age of broadbands...why such lag in videos

Is the fact that the grandmother did not accept the relationship bothering people? It feels like something was amiss at the end. No closure!

😊

I dont know if you people bother to not talk about but i like the scene where Dharmendra flirts with Sheeba in the award ceremony...i can see she is liking that "The Dharamji "flirting with her and she got that chance like Kareena grabbed the chance to kiss "The Silvester Stallone"Kambakht Ishq 😄 I find that scene cute ❤️

Watching this again after seeing the movie.. I think y’all were a bit too impressed 😅 but I get it for a Kjo movie this one atleast has the right messaging.. the whole Dharmendra and Shabana affair was a bit too cringe after a point..

Very very nice movie💯

I feel KJ has changed with me I liked his previous movies but now I think they are Cringe. Maybe in 10 years I would not like this. But I still like Zoya way of story telling in Dil dadakne do than this

The subjects talked about it in this film such as patriarchy , effeminacy etc has already been spoken about it in so many mainstream Bollywood movies such as TJMM, dil dhadakne do , to name a few. Karan Johar is the guy that made ADHM and KANK . I really wish he addressed different subjects in the movie. This movie felt like a long lecture which i have attended and given exams too( I have had the exact same discussions with the elders of my family). There’s nothing new in the movie. But karan johar’s style of making is intact and i love that part. I really wish he picked a different storyline altogether. I guess , i might be one of the only people disappointed with this movie 😅

All paid critics biased and prejudiced...promoting and glorifying one of the most pathetic filmmakers.

Wow I wonder how much worse our films will get now that this film is being considered great. Hurray for lowering the bar even further! There were just so many ridiculous and strained concessions made in this discussion to poor little rich AF Karan Johar. I could feel the palpable relief of the 3 critics who are probably exhausted by the capitalistic cynicism of Bollywood and want to be on the side of Big Bollywood for once rather than be the oppositional voice of reason. It’s sometimes easier to submit to the drug of the zeitgeist, never mind that it is a slow poison. Just so disappointed in these 3 and other critics doing mental gymnastics to be in the popular group of the Bollywood “elite”.

paresh rawal 10 cr 😮😮😮😮

I guess I am in the minority… while I think the movie has its moments but song after song and just dance after dance was a bit tiring for me… but glad people are going to the theatres… overall the film could have been shorter

Very nice .. how is this a nice movie? I agree aninal is not, but on the same moral compass how is this . Just becaise it favours female protagonist in whatever she does.. its like a wow! Bike hue saste critics ..

How delusional these folks are. Hyping it as if it's killing it at the box office.. Bloodly jokes in the name of film criticism.

Why would you do this to this particular film? It doesn't deserve this much attention.

All critics are going gaga over the film but its not doing well at the BO. 58 cr in 5 days is not big for a KJo film with big stars and big budget. And this guy Rahul, total waste - he himself doesnt know what is he talking abt -

not a K Jo fan..the movies are bad....now that you guys telling this is a good movie...so will watch it.....I dont know why are we so obsessed with Poo..its a copy of all the high school movies in Hollywoord....mean girls....Clueless...Gossip Girl...I dont get the obsession.

In reality the Punjabi family would have said a lot of ohoo bangalan kala jadu kar diya hai blah blah and all kinds of stereotypes would have come out - which I learned about when living in Delhi to my shock. Unlike Ishita i was a little annoyed by Alia’s mispronunciations though she clearly tried. Some things were not natural - your thakuma who you live with would be called Thamma at home, and the wine swilling cultural gatherings is overdone even for CR Park - GKII bengalis. Churni Ganguly had the most pretentious rôle unfortunately because she actually had to go to a lingerie shop and say things like your uncle likes this bra and he was struggling with this hook - she’s written as a caricature of mod bengali and the actor humanizes her somehow. Oh yeah the pujo scene horrified me in the promos because of how SLB it looked but thankfully they addressed it a little in the movie. That scene was supposed to annoy Bengalis but excite and please the non-Bengali Bolly audience

I'm clearly in the minority here. Did not enjoy this movie at all and was really disappointed. It was preachy and boring. And my biggest issue was that Rani and Rocky falling in love was just not convincing right from the beginning.

PAID PR KITNE MILEY!!!!!PATHETIC JOHAR

What a movie. It deserves an Oscar. Hope this movie is the official entry to the oscars this year.

Not good movie ..over acting of ranbeer n alia ..No story ..waste of money ..pls dont watch
