'Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani Is Best Karan Johar Film,' Says Anurag Kashyap In A Long Note

The film 'Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani,' featuring Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt, is earning widespread acclaim. Both audiences and critics are praising the movie. It had a decent opening at the box office, marking Karan Johar's return to the director's chair after a seven-year hiatus. Notably, filmmaker Anurag Kashyap has also showered praise on the film, watching it twice and expressing his full appreciation.

On Sunday, the filmmaker took to his Instagram account 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 added, "Kudos to @_ishita_moitra_ and @gogoroy . My favourite part of the film is the incredible unrequited love story of @aapkadharam and @azmishabana18 and the patriarchal villainy of the matriarch @jayabachchn . Also not to forget @totaroychoudhury and @utterlychurni , @bashiraamir and the mother sister duo of Ranveer.. ( apologies for not knowing who they’re ) The use of old classic songs and the trolling of @somenmishra with "meri pyaari bindu" .. uff that gave me so much personal joy."

Kashyap further went on to say, "Jokes apart - 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 mewas @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 . 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."
