Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap recently watched Karan Johar’s latest directorial Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani and is thoroughly impressed. The filmmaker praised the cast and crew of the film and revealed that he watched the film twice. Kashyap said that he ‘laughed and cried’ while watching the film, adding that he was ‘entertained.’
Kashyap shared the poster of the movie and wrote, “Best @karanjohar film by far. He never leaves his world but he also does not hold back any punches. Also it’s the second KJo film that I bought the tickets for that too twice, and sending everyone that trusts me to go see. Some super writing , a top of form @ranveersingh, ever so brilliant @aliaabhatt and there sparkling chemistry . After a long time I loved the dialogue writing in mainstream Hindi film where people talk like they talk.”
He spoke about the use of old classic songs and the playful trolling of Somen Mishra with “meri pyaari bindu” and added how they brought him personal joy. Kashyap added, “The way karan addresses all kinds of snobbery , all kinds of shame and phobias that come from our conditioning , the way he addresses our conditioning with all the humour and aplomb and joharisms.. was totally sucked in his world .. the high point of the film for me was @totaroychoudhury and @ranveersingh dancing to “Dola re Dola re”. And the whole monologue of Ranveer on how we cancel each other all the time or Alia’s rant post the Durga Pujo scene and @baidnitin .. you actually cut the songs halfway( or did karan shoot them only the amount that was required) .. that was also a first in a KJO film.”
He added, “Thoroughly entertained and laughed and cried and believe it or not .. saw it twice .. the mainstream Hindi film I’ve been missing for so long .. the real @karanjohar that I know has fully put himself out there.”
Apart from lauding the film, Anurag also defended Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani against trolls. Some social media users took to the comments section of his recent Instagram post to diss the Karan Johar directorial. One user called it cringy and the worst film of the year. Anurag Kashyap promptly hit back at him and wrote, “The film is about you too,” with a laughing emoji. Another person wrote, “Had to watch Oppenheimer again literally to cleanse my eyes just after.” Anurag jokingly hit back at the troll and asked him to show tickets of both the films.
Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani marks Karan’s comeback as a director after seven years. The film debuted with Rs 11.10 crores and recorded a 45 percent jump on the second day.
