Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahaani - An honest review
I watched Rocky aur Rani ki Prem Kahaani because everyone I know on social media and few close folks in my real life said it was very entertaining - funny, progressive, feminist , and it showed gender equality.
Tumblr media
So I was taken aback, because the general sentiment for KJo movies should be ‘It’s so shit, but I love it’ - that is a sentiment I can live with because we all have our guilty pleasures.
KJo has his audience who love the shit he pulls off every time he ‘directs’ a film with toxic masculinity, regressive female leads , justifying infidelity (always the answer to unhappy marriages) , glorifying Indian culture, where he adds 30 mins of melodrama and lectures to make the characters redeem themselves. Kjo’s movies are as lame as they can be, but people love them. I get it - ‘this shit is so bad, it’s so good’ category of films. Guilty pleasures are exactly this!
Tumblr media
So sell me his new offering in exactly this manner - but all reviews and social media comments were glowing words of praise of how he has addressed today’s issues and it’s a progressive film. Are people suffering from amnesia or have they not watched better Bollywood films? Because I have a whole list of films you should watch that actually deal with ‘progressive’ mindsets - way before Kjo’s time!
Tumblr media
Rani is a feminist. A FL as feisty news anchor who gives a 5 min lecture on men’s gaze, objectification of women and rape culture, but does an absolute U-turn 5 mins later by objectifying a handsome man in front of her. This is gender equality. Tit for Tat.
Tumblr media
Wearing open back blouses to work is sign of new age feminism (Will I get trolled for sounding old school - has KJo ever stepped inside a corporate workspace - who dresses like Rani does?) What’s next? Women CEOs wearing bikinis? And why not get all men to dress like Rocky Randhawa - that would be peak gender equality in dress code at workplace.
Infidelity is the answer to all unhappy marriages. Remember KANK? Yes, let’s repeat that here, but let’s twist it into unrequited love between the senior citizens. Then add memory loss and illness excuse to get the 80yr old grandpa smooch his 75yr old ex-lover in front of his wife and entire family. The issue is not old age love, age is never a restriction to fall in love, the issue here is infidelity. But if this isn’t cringe enough, let’s completely destroy the most beautiful romantic number in Bollywood by playing it in the background to immortalise infidelity and later lust under the garb of love.
Tumblr media
Let’s get back to our feminism torch bearer Rani, who has now jumped from knowing the guy for two meetings to lusting over him. She is honest with herself (not with Rocky mind you, because at no point have they had any conversation about themselves) that she is in it purely for the physical attraction, it’s just a fling for her. She is an elitist , feminist, Colombian grad, Bengali Girl (who has a terrible Bengali accent) and the crude, can’t speak English well, Gucci/Fendi wearing, Ferrari driving, protein shake drinking, loud Punjabi boy doesn’t match up to her standards. Kjo’s new level of feminism - make women pull the exact shit on men that men have put women through for decades. Tit for Tat! Gender Equality.
Btw at this point I still don’t know why Rocky loves Rani - love at first sight is always about the looks and physical attraction, so convince me why he loves her - because isn’t he this walking-talking green flag just by being understanding of his grandpa’s feelings and calling out Rani checking him out. A walking green flag who gets his grandpa’s ex-lover and his grandpa together to help his grandpa get better - because love is the cure for all illnesses. All doctors and medical researchers have been wasting their time on getting degrees and super specialisations - please enter Kjo’s school of love.
Tumblr media
So now Rani realises she is in love - when and why and what changed her feelings from lust to love - I do not know. She drives on a 4-lane highway in the opposite direction - woman should have died there for her reckless driving, but she lives to propose to Rocky on a f&*king Highway! Bollywood I love you for pulling off this shit.
This is supposed to be the pivotal point in their relationship where she professes her love to him, going down on one knee (because hey you see role reversal - she is the feminist, the alpha female) and telling Rocky everything that HE IS NOT , listing her resume and her exes’. Therefore implying he doesn’t deserve her, but she is taking the high road and still falling for him. All the reasons she lists that she loves about him are actually about his physical aspects = Lust. She doesn’t list one meaningful quality that she actually ‘loves’ about him.
It is at this point that I gave up on the film, because after this RRKPK became a collation of scenes dedicated to social media trending topics:
1. Women burdened with household work
2. Women not liberated enough to pursue their dreams
3. Women being fat shamed
4. Cancel culture
5. Men being shamed for pursuing classical dancing (KJo research FFS - 50% of India’s top kathak dancers are males right from 1940s! )
Each topic got 1-2 scenes, tweets converted to preachy dialogues uttered by our ‘feminist’ queen and zero closures or character growth.
The only thing that works in this movie - is Ranveer , not his character, but him! He is effortless in this role, his comic timing is superb, needs some work on emotions.
Tumblr media
Alia is a shadow of her awesome self on screen post her marriage to Ranbir. It hurts to say this, cause I have loved her in all her movies except SOTY.
Can people age gracefully, I couldn’t bear to look at Shabana Azmi and Jaya B - former was gorgeous as hell in her younger days, now is swollen with all the Botox fillers! Jaya has forgotten to act completely. Dharmendra should not even be acting anymore.
Tumblr media
What was the point of rest of the cast? Only Alia’s dad was a decent act.
The one thing I absolutely love in KJo movies is the music and songs! These were crap too. What Jhumka? Because ruining all the songs from ‘The Golden’ decade of Bollywood was not enough, so they made a terrible mashup of Badtameez Dil & Jhumka Gira Re and killed both the songs in one go! Takes some skill doing this - well done!
Why this long rant if I disliked the movie so much, that too KJo movies? I wouldn’t have written one, if the reviews and comments were honest about the movie being average, typical entertainment; but the moment people praised it to nth level of being socially relevant with feminist heroine and gender equality - they deserved to be called out for their shallow thought process thinking that KJo actually cares about any of this stuff.
Worst people think this is ‘quintessential’ Bollywood. Please watch better films - like Amitabh’s roaring 70s, the romance films of 90s, the fun comedies, the glorious slice of life films from Hrishida, the Yash Chopra multistarrers - that’s quintessential, genuine, charm of Bollywood.
Tumblr media
Lastly before I wrap this up - RRKPK when literally translated is Love Story of Rocky and Rani. I spent 2.5 hours on this shit show and I still don’t know the answer to why and how they fell in love! They didn’t have one decent conversation about themselves! The latter half is about them wooing their families. The film should have been aptly titled ‘Randhawa and Chatterjee Ki Prem Kahaani’ - It’s all about loving your family - K3G Part 2!

@inyourroomalbumversion tagged me for 6 comfort films, thank you it's been ages since I did one of these!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Down By Law: I've adored this since I was a Tom Waits-obsessed 17 year old but really Roberto Benigni is the beating heart of this. So beautiful, so funny and such a sweet romantic ending.
Picnic at Hanging Rock: Such a beautiful piece of work, largly played straight but the story, the characters and the shots of nature makes it strange and unsettling in a very gentle way.
A Grand Day Out: While I appreciate Aardman's bigger, more ambitious movies the pinnacle is a very simple story of a man and his dog building a rocket and going to the moon to get cheese because it's a bank holiday and the shops are shut.
Pride and Prejudice (2005): The best adaptation owing to its cast and cinematic quality. A beautiful thing to get lost in.
The Harder They Come: That soundtrack!
Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham: The gateway drug to bollywood. So much colour, great songs, melodrama, SRK being a goofy heartthrob as ever, Amitabh Bachchan getting slapped, Bluewater shopping centre - this has everything.
I tag @safeinthewomb @plastic-tulips @wildbayou @silvrsabl and @p0shspice

Shah rukh khan also known as KING KHAN . He is 58 and still ruling bollywood since 3 generations . He is not only the king of BOLLYWOOD but also the king of hearts . He is the fourth richest actor.

He took a break for 3 - 4 years . Now when he came back , he literally broke records . His movies Pathaan and Jawan , both made 1000 crores. He literally shut the " boycott bollywood " gang and proved his haters wrong . Also , SRK came from a very poor background and he had no connections and directors said that he couldn't become an actor coz his face wasn't "chocolaty " enough but guess what ? He still did . He said that he would rule the city of Mumbai one day and he did !!! Not only he is a versatile actor but he is charming , has a great presence of mind & gives witty replies , is respectful to women & elders and he is very HUMBLE. When asked in an interview if he had any competition, he said that he didn't have any competition & he didn't come to compete but rule . In other interviews he said how he felt that he was SPECIAL & how he was the " LAST OF THE STARS " . Be like him , be confident in yourself & don't let others determine what you are capable of 💓

Im pakistani and I looooove these rafe x desi reader first, i can just imagine rafe judging reader as she cries to "kabhi khushi kabhi gham" like she's fully bawling with tissues and rafe is like "uh.....?"
OH IM HERE FOR THIS HAHAHAHA (this reminded me I have not seen old good bollywood films in so damn long like-)
↶ೃ✧˚. ❃ ↷ ˊˎ-
"uh baby, you alright there?"
"huh?"
"you, you okay? you're just having a full breakdown over a movie-"
"IT'S NOT JUST A MOVIE IT'S AN EMOTION, A LIFESTYLE, A RELIGION!"
"..."
"..."
"geez."
I feel like it would definitely be such a hard task to make rafe sit down and watch your favorite bollywood movies with you, but he'll eventually give in and you'll have to switch on the english subtitles for him so he can atleast have an idea what's going on 😭 + you'll keep on pausing throughout the movie to share any lore you may have with him and he's just going to be sitting there, listening and nodding as you keep on speaking cause he's just so in love with you and will do anything for you <3
and why do I think he'll really enjoy sholay??? 😭
↶ೃ✧˚. ❃ ↷ ˊˎ-
(I'm always down to discuss any thoughts or hcs on drew/rafe/zach! <3)

been on a bollywood binge the past few weeks, some old and new.
films i’ve watched: jawan, pathaan, salaar, animal (phew what was that), radhe shyam, jaane tu ya jaane na, kuch kuch hota hai (rewatch), kal ho naa ho (tear my heart why don’t you), dilwale, om shanti om (masterpiece), dil to pagal hai, mujhse dosti karoge, rocky aur rani kii prem kahaani (alia bhatt yesss), and many more i can’t think of the name right now.
not to be dramatic but i think shah rukh khan invented romance. how does he do that with his eyes?? i watched kabhi khushi kabhie gham and i was not expecting to cry my eyes out. there should’ve been a warning at the beginning to have a box of tissues ready.
continuing my srk marathon with dilwale dulhania le jayenge

Do you do Ziam recs or do you know someone who does Ziam recs? I don’t read them much, but the new song has got me in a mood for a good bollywood style romance where cultures clash and in-laws need to be impressed and men wear gorgeous sherwanis 🤤
Hi, anon! I do make Ziam recs! You'll find them on my masterpost that can be found on my pinned post. But I'll put them here for you, too.
🌸 Zayn Fics - canon with real life issues
🌸 Ziam Fics - angst
🌸 Ziam Fics - canon
Now to get to your specific request here...I'll give you a few that I tracked down, but if you want a longer rec, send me another ask and I'll add it to my pinned post!
For Better Or For Worse (the K3G fic) by Gotbe
Based on the film Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham
It's Always Darkest Before The Dawn by historyziam
At a time in his life when Zayn thinks he has forgotten what genuine happiness feels like, Liam comes into the picture and changes everything.
if you love me, come on, get involved by pileofmess
It's fascinating, he thinks, how someone could be so eager to learn about his roots and culture when all this time he's been trying to keep it as far away from plain sight as possible. Yet here was Liam, all dressed up in a poppy red salwar kameez that baba insisted Liam put on, and he looks absolutely beautiful.
