Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh-starrer film 'Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani' hit the theatres on July 28, 2023. The movie, directed by Karan Johar, received positive reviews from the audience and the critics alike. 'RRKPK' also stars Jaya Bachchan and Dharmendra in pivotal roles, while Janhvi Kapoor, Varun Dhawan, and Ananya Panday appear in special cameo.
The makers of 'Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani' took a bold move by releasing the film just one week after the 'Barbenheimer' clash. This strategic decision seems to be giving the KJo movie an edge in India, as the buzz around Greta Gerwig's 'Barbie' movie has been fading there.
