Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani

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

“Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani is a well-packaged entertainer.”

“This feels like an event film from frame one, and the feeling remains constant throughout. The story, despite the predictable route it takes, packs in a lot for lovers of Hindi films like us. Karan does something he rarely has done before, starts breaking out his emotional sequences infusing a funny line or action, and it works wonders.”

“At heart, 'Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani' is an entertaining and sweet love story, with flashy and meaningful elements that make it a worthwhile watch.”

“Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahani packs in abundant entertainment and hat tips to the KJo brand. It takes some time to ease into its dialled-up tone, hodgepodge of accents and cocky display of wit, something Vicky Donor achieved in minimal effort.”

“Hard for a film to lampoon profligacy while simultaneously wallowing in it. Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani is fascinating in its attempts to address the clash between progressiveness and tradition, resulting in all sorts of unlikely dramatic conflicts.”

“The film does make attempts at being more than it can be. There is a commentary on patriarchy, on misogyny, on cancel culture even. But all of them, except maybe the former, lack any nuance. It's all monologues followed by angry looks and while it does get the point home, the point in itself is shallow.”

“It looks well-groomed and starts sounding politically correct by the end but RARKPK lacks rhythm and a beating heart. In its treatment, it seems the film indulges those who get away with casual misogyny as long as they promise a golden heart beneath a gold chain.”

“So loud! But hey, the lead women have proper jobs. So much gyaan. But necessary too? So many missteps. But woke too. So predictable. But some unexpected decisions too. So little physical chemistry between the lead pair. But they ace the non-physical one. So so long. No buts after that, it is long.”
