Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahaani: Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahaani is going to hit the screens on Friday, July 28, 2023. Expectations are sky high from the film as Karan Johar returns to direction after a long time. The filmmaker is again bringing his formulaic family-oriented rom-com.

A comic scene where Ranveer’s character mistakes Rabindranath Tagore’s portrait as Alia’s grandfather didn’t went down too well with a section of audiences.
Churni Ganguly, who plays Alia’s mother in the film, in an interaction with News 18, said, “There are certain events that have gradually crept into the Bengali system but if you want to project a family as quintessentially Bengali, you need to include these things. I think that things like Ranveer’s character addressing Rabindranath Tagore as dadaji worked well for us. Portraits of Tagore are something you see in many Bengali houses.” She also opined, “When you’ve to project a Bengali family, you need to refer to certain stereotypes. These aren’t even stereotypes. According to me, it’s all essentially ‘very Bengali’. We still don’t wear lehengas at our weddings; we’ve still stuck to our sarees.”
