<p>Karan Johar's latest film <em>Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani</em> has been earning rave reviews from all quarters. Fans and critics have mostly praised the family entertainer and now director Anurag Kashyap has heaped praises on the film that features Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt in the lead. Kashyap took to Instagram to write a long post and stated that he has watched the film twice.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Kashyap said that he ‘laughed and cried’ while watching the film, adding that he was "entertained".<br />
<br />
Kashyap shared the poster of the movie 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."<br />
<br />
Kashyap expressed that his favourite part of the film is the “incredible unrequited love story” between Dharmendra and Shabana Azmi, as well as the portrayal of the “patriarchal villain by the matriarch” Jaya Bachchan.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Kashyap praised the usage of old classic songs in the film such as “meri pyaari bindu” and added how they brought him personal joy.</p>

<p>Kashyap added, “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 me was @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.”&nbsp;</p>

Anurag Kashyap has this to say about Karan Johar's Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani

<p>After over three decades, Kashmir Valley is witnessing a revival in movie watching at cinema halls. With people queuing up to watch the movies on the big screen, the film culture is back in the Valley. Dharma Productions <em>Rocky Aur Rani&nbsp;Kii&nbsp;Prem Kahaani</em> is the third film in the last six months running houseful in the valley's lone multiplex.</p>

<p>Kashmir's lone theatre has received a bumper opening for Karan Johar's<em>Rocky Aur Rani&nbsp;Kii&nbsp;Prem Kahaani</em>. The pre-bookings done for the movie suggest that it will be houseful for quite some time. The theatre is running 4 shows of the movie every day.&nbsp;</p>

<p>'<em>'Rocky Aur&nbsp;Rani,</em> first show fully booked, second show fully booked, I am not sure about tomorrow as it is Muharram and there could be restrictions but from Sunday onwards the shows are booked and it's going to be a big movie. Recently Karan Johar thanked the people of Kashmir, we are going to send him a video showing how people are showering love on the film. A lot of people are aware that it's been shot at Gulmarg and are excited to see it on the big screen. It's very exciting, '' said Vikas Dhar, Owner, Inox Multiplex. &nbsp;</p>

<p>Earlier last week, Christopher Nolan’s <em>Oppenheimer </em>ran houseful shows in Srinagar. This had taken the owners of the Multiplex by surprise. Oppenheimer was running back-to-back houseful shows making it the first Hollywood film to show such a response in the valley.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Hundreds of people have seen the movie since the release of the film. And Srinagar's lone multiplex ran four shows of the movie every single day and most of them ran houseful. The tickets for <em>Oppenheimer </em>were sold even before the release of the film.&nbsp;</p>

<p>''<em>Oppenheimer </em>I knew the first show would be a houseful, people were calling me on phone and social media asking me not to skip <em>Oppenheimer.</em> It must screen at Srinagar as well. We kept the promise and the kind of engagement is unbelievable. These kids are watching and discussing the movie as if they are students of history. It's a very relevant matter in my time. I am shocked to see how people know Christopher Nolan and all, '' said Vikas Dhar, Owner, Inox Multiplex</p>

<p>The first film to go houseful in Srinagar's Lone theatre was Shahrukh Khan starrer <em>Pathan. </em>It saw a massive response from the public in the valley and ran houseful for weeks.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Not only from Srinagar but filmgoers from other far-flung districts of the Kashmir region came to the cinema to watch his film on a bigger screen. For the young generation in the Valley, the newly opened cinema halls are a novelty. They have never seen theatres in their lives.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Kashmir had dozens of cinema halls till the early 1990s, but with the start of the insurgency, all the cinema halls in the Valley were shut down.<br />
<br />
''I have spent my 15 years in Delhi, and living there and not becoming a filmgoer does not arise. The first cinema hall has opened here, and I come here often, especially on the weekends, and spend time here. Watching movies in the cinema was considered a taboo but that is changing now. It's so good to spend time with family and friends at this multiplex. I am watching this movie because it's about family love. We should spend time with families and watch movies together. I would suggest everyone come and watch movies on screen, '' said Zainab Bhat, Local.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The multiplex located in Srinagar's Shivpora area has three screens and a total seating capacity of around 520 people. And it's the third time after the reopening of the cinema in Valley, that Housefull boards have popped up outside the multiplex.&nbsp;</p>

''Rocky Aur Rani, first show fully booked, second show fully booked, I am not sure about tomorrow as it is Muharram and there could be restrictions but from Sunday onwards the shows are booked and it's going to be a big movie. Recently Karan Johar thanked the people of Kashmir, we are going to send him a video showing how people are showering love on the film. A lot of people are aware that it's been shot at Gulmarg and are excited to see it on the big screen. It's very exciting, '' said Vikas Dhar, Owner, Inox Multiplex. Earlier last week, Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer ran houseful shows in Srinagar. This had taken the owners of the Multiplex by surprise. Oppenheimer was running back-to-back houseful shows making it the first Hollywood film to show such a response in the valley.

And Srinagar's lone multiplex ran four shows of the movie every single day and most of them ran houseful. The tickets for Oppenheimer were sold even before the release of the film. ''Oppenheimer I knew the first show would be a houseful, people were calling me on phone and social media asking me not to skip Oppenheimer. It must screen at Srinagar as well. We kept the promise and the kind of engagement is unbelievable. These kids are watching and discussing the movie as if they are students of history. It's a very relevant matter in my time. I am shocked to see how people know Christopher Nolan and all, '' said Vikas Dhar, Owner, Inox Multiplex The first film to go houseful in Srinagar's Lone theatre was Shahrukh Khan starrer Pathan. It saw a massive response from the public in the valley and ran houseful for weeks. Not only from Srinagar but filmgoers from other far-flung districts of the Kashmir region came to the cinema to watch his film on a bigger screen. For the young generation in the Valley, the newly opened cinema halls are a novelty. They have never seen theatres in their lives. Kashmir had dozens of cinema halls till the early 1990s, but with the start of the insurgency, all the cinema halls in the Valley were shut down. ''I have spent my 15 years in Delhi, and living there and not becoming a filmgoer does not arise. The first cinema hall has opened here, and I come here often, especially on the weekends, and spend time here. Watching movies in the cinema was considered a taboo but that is changing now. It's so good to spend time with family and friends at this multiplex. I am watching this movie because it's about family love. We should spend time with families and watch movies together. I would suggest everyone come and watch movies on screen, '' said Zainab Bhat, Local. The multiplex located in Srinagar's Shivpora area has three screens and a total seating capacity of around 520 people. And it's the third time after the reopening of the cinema in Valley, that Housefull boards have popped up outside the multiplex.

Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani becomes third film to run houseful shows in Kashmir cinema halls

<p><strong>Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani review: </strong>Let's agree to this once and for all. Karan Johar makes the best family dramas in Bollywood. At the onset, his latest film, <em>Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani </em>may look like a love story but it is actually a story of two families from very diverse backgrounds coming together and adjusting to each other as their children fall in love. In his previous films, Johar talked about dysfunctional families, adultery, unrequited love and loving parents. All these films have had family dramas as the backdrop. His latest is an amalgamation of all these but unlike his previous films, R<em>ocky Aur&nbsp;Rani</em> also put in relevant messages on patriarchy, misogyny, sexism and much more in the nearly three-hour-long film.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>The plot of <em>Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani</em></strong><br />
<br />
Billed as a big-budget multi-starrer summer entertainer,<em> Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani</em> is quintessentially Bollywood in every sense of the term. Amid all the <em>showsha,</em> dialogue <em>baazi </em>lies a story of two very different people falling for each other. The lead pair is as different as chalk and cheese. He is a loud Punjabi boy from a conservative business family in Delhi while she is a successful TV journalist from a liberal, creative and modern-thinking Bengali family. One would never expect the two to fall in love and yet they do. Rocky (Ranveer Singh) reaches out to Rani Chatterjee (Alia Bhatt) to help his grandfather (veteran actor Dharmendra) reconnect with his old flame, Rani's grandmother (Shabana Azmi). Rocky and Rani end up meeting regularly on the pretext of making their grandparents meet and fall in love.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Rocky falls first while Rani keeps calling it a fling as she can't fathom why would her heart yearn for a man who doesn't match her intellectual levels and doesn't know where West Bengal is located on the India map (he says in the West, obvio!). Yet, the heart does what the heart wants. The problem starts when they, after accepting their feelings for each other, realise that their families are very different and would never agree to their alliance. And so they decide to swap their homes. Rani goes to stay at the Randhawa Palace, where Dhanlakshmi Randhawa (Jaya Bachchan), Rocky's authoritative grandmother rules the household and Rocky goes to stay at the Chatterjee Villa where the gender roles are not so clearly defined. Rani's father (Tota Roychoudhury) is a dancer and mother (Churni Ganguly) is an English professor .</p>

<p><strong>The writing<br />
&nbsp;</strong><br />
Johar's families and their homes are always larger than life. <em>Rocky Aur Rani </em>in that sense is no different but writers Ishita Moitra, Shashank Khaitan and Sudip Roy include conversations on mysogny, feminism, racism, body positivity and patriarchy within the two families. These make the film rather a hatke Johar film which is refreshing in every possible way. It helps that the dialogues, written by Moitra, are pretty on point and take ample jibes at both communities.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
There is a lot of cultural appropriation in the film and both Punjabis and Bengalis are shown with a generic lens. But the director and writers call out both communities fairly, the Punjabis for their lack of awareness and the Bengalis for their unnecessary&nbsp;stiff upper lip. The dialogues land on most occasions, but there are the occasional slips. A scene on how women should be treated equally is done in the most bizarre way at a lingerie shop which seems so out of place. Then there is a scene where Rani takes the higher moral ground and in a very elaborate way makes the Randhawas understand the concept of gender equality.&nbsp;</p>

<br />
A decade ago, Shoojit Sircar's <em>Vicky Donor </em>had a similar premise- a Punjabi boy falling for a Bengali girl and their respective families taking their time to adjust to their cultural differences. The film's scenes were far more realistic&nbsp;and hence impactful. Rocky Aur Rani does not create the same impact because the premise may be similar but it has got Johar's opulence and unrealism written all over it.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
<strong>The cast of <em>Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani</em></strong></p>

<p>Ranveer and Alia, the lead pair salvage a predictable script credibly. Alia looks stunning and plays the confidant, perfect Rani very well who is feisty and is the voice for those who need one. It is not a very complex role, especially for the incredibly talented &nbsp;Alia. She shines irrespective of the role, she owns Rani like it's an extension of herself.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Ranveer on the other hand sinks his teeth and flexes his muscles as Rocky Randhawa. Ranveer had made splashing debut years back as the Delhi boy in <em>Band Baaja Baraat</em>- he was so good that most thought he actually belonged to Delhi. Ranveer gets to play a richer version of his debut role in <em>Rocky Aur Rani </em>and owns his part. I feel Ranveer's role was more difficult to play on screen than ALia's but the actor, known for his versatality, nails it. Rocky is over the top in the beginning but has layers to his character where he wants to adapt to Rani's culture and unlearn a few things on the way just to be accepted by her family. Yet, he is also clear about his own culture and his roots. The buffonnery, the maturity to adapt and accept and some graceful Kathak movements make Rocky a lovable guy.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Because it’s a Karan Johar film, he gets stalwarts like Dharmendra, Shabana Azmi and Jaya Bachchan in supporting cast. Bachchan has collaborated with Johar in films like <em>Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham</em> and <em>Kal Ho Naa Ho</em> where she&nbsp; has played docile, submissive characters. In <em>Rocky Aur Rani </em>she is strikingly different and authoritative with shades of grey added. Bachchan soars in her role as an angry old woman- a tag that she has attained from media in real life as well.&nbsp;</p>

<p><img alt="b" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="1f77ce24-bbf3-4432-a159-e38d91d60d71" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/Untitled%20design%20-%202023-07-28T101510.742.jpg" /><br />
<br />
It's refreshing to see Shabana Azmi and Dharmendra romancing each other. They even indulge in PDA on screen - a rarity for Hindi cinema, and their &nbsp;scenes have old classics &nbsp;playing in the background, which make the sequences extra special.<br />
<br />
Amir Bashir, Kshitee Jog, Tota Roy Chowdhury, Churni Ganguly play the parents. All well-known faces and credible actors, they are cast perfectly and do justice to their roles. Watch out for the Durga Puja scene where Johar gives a hat tip to Sanjay Leela Bhansali's famous "Dola Re Dola" song from <em>Devdas</em> in his own style.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>The length of the film&nbsp;</strong><br />
<br />
The film is tad too long. At two hours 48 minutes, it stretches on a bit too much with unnecessary scenes in the first half and a few melodramatic ones in the second half. It also is ultimately a very predictable story. The stereotypes, the way in which the story unfolds, and even the climax have a sense of familiarity. Some of the shots will remind you of <em>Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham</em>- Johar's other big budget, multi-starrer family drama.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Despite the predictability and its duration, <em>Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani</em> is a wholesome family movie. It touches upon relevant topics but doesn't delve deeper and keeps entertainment as its primary focus. It's light, fun and just the kind of film that you would want to watch with your entire family. Go for it!&nbsp;</p>

Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani review: Ranveer Singh, Alia Bhatt shine in a predictable, fun family film

<p>You love him, hate him but you can't ignore Karan Johar and his indomitable influence on Indian cinema. He may have produced more films than directed them in his 25 years in the film industry, but Johar's films have over the years become a movement of sorts, changed the way Hindi cinema is perceived the world over and managed to set trends like no other filmmaker had in the past two decades or more.<br />
<br />
In his career as a filmmaker and producer, Johar has been accused of being nepotistic, of creating a superfluous world in his films which set unrealistic standards in society, and for never being able to make cinema on relevant issues. But there is no denying that Johar always manages to create the perfect dream world that seems attainable to the general public yet it never is. Johar understands the business of cinema well and always knows where to put his money. Over the years, he has launched some of the most prominent names in acting and direction in Hindi cinema, proving that he understands talent and knows what and who will work.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
In 25 years in the film industry, Johar has directed only 10 films - including his upcoming <em>Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani</em>. Of the 10, three have been part of anthologies. That being said, one can safely state that almost each of Johar's films becomes a talking point after it releases.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
A day before his 10th film hits theatres, we ranked all his directorial ventures - from worst to best.&nbsp;</p>

<p><img alt="t" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="d6218e5f-a1f9-4a48-bc48-ac02c27890fa" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/Your%20paragraph%20text%20-%202023-07-27T153347.655.jpg" /></p>

<p><strong>9- Student Of The Year- </strong>Karan Johar had once admitted that <em>Student Of The Year</em> was made perhaps to launch new faces in Bollywood. The film did serve the purpose as it gave us the incredibly talented Alia Bhatt, who in over a decade has proved how good an actor she is. The film also gave us Varun Dhawan and Sidharth Malhotra, who have created their own space in Bollywood. But when one looks at SOTY, it really is a very superfluous remake of <em>Kuch Kuch Hota Hai</em> - which itself was not the best film in terms of storytelling. A remake of multiple Hollywood high school dramas, SOTY was a long dragged affair that&nbsp;felt out of place even when it had released in 2012. Thank god, it had Alia Bhatt though, who in due course of time became the force that she is now.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
<img alt="k" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="5b186a53-c25b-4a21-8965-da25fcf1d281" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/Your%20paragraph%20text%20-%202023-07-27T153244.740.jpg" /></p>

<p><strong>8-Kuch Kuch Hota Hai- </strong>Johar's first film was a Hindi version of the <em>Archies</em> back in the day. When the film was released, featuring Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol and Rani Mukerji, it was a rage. Considered one of the biggest hits of the filmmaker's career, the film was a classic for a generation that grew up on SRK's staple diet of love stories. Yet, years later when you re-watch the film, you realise how superfluous and flimsy the plot was. The depiction of the two female leads, the screenplay, the process in which the lead couple falls in love were all very questionable and if made in today's time - would infuriate too many people instead of being loved.&nbsp;</p>

<p><img alt="g" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="5a1f1292-2568-43e3-b284-3fadc2407c74" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/Your%20paragraph%20text%20-%202023-07-27T153116.036.jpg" /></p>

<p><strong>7-Ghost Stories-</strong> Another anthology where Johar again was out of his comfort zone creating a horror story. Of course, the film featuring Mrunal Thakur and Avinash Tiwari in the lead, had its usual Johar trapping with opulant sets, newly married couple in a big bungalow but it also had the new bride (Thakur) discovering that something is amiss in her new home with her husband - who till the wedding night- seemed like her dream man. Johar's attempt at the genre did not create an impression - as much as the other shorts in the anthology did and the story fell to the usual Johar stereotypes and did not provide the thrills&nbsp;required in the horror story.&nbsp;</p>

<p><img alt="f" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="ade38dab-d4c2-48d8-b3d9-fb6d09b0bddf" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/Your%20paragraph%20text%20-%202023-07-27T153102.946.jpg" /></p>

<p><strong>6-Ae Dil Hai Mushkil-</strong>&nbsp;Some say <em>Ae Dil Hai Mushkil</em> is Karan Johar's most personal film to date. The film deals with the complexities that come along with falling in love. Of sacrifices one makes in love, of unrequitted love. Weeks ahead of the film's release, it was plagued with controversy over the casting of Pakistani actor Fawad Khan in a cameo role for which Johar had to personally shoot an apology video and urge the public to not ban the film because of his special appearance. The film has Ranbir Kapoor playing Ayan, a man-child (like he does in most of his films) falling in love with the impulsive Alizeh (Anushka Sharma) who is in love with someone else. The film's treatment of unrequitted love appeared slightly problematic but Aishwarya Rai, who made a &nbsp;comeback of sorts with the film after a long gap, was a revelation in a role as a mysterious poetess.&nbsp;</p>

<p><img alt="h" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="8069d38e-2cd8-424a-bfcc-8e0ded4291ff" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/Your%20paragraph%20text%20-%202023-07-27T153127.712.jpg" /></p>

<p><strong>5-Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham-</strong>&nbsp;I don't think even Johar had realised he was making a cult film when he made <em>Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham</em>. Featuring superstars of three different generations - Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan - the family drama ran on the theme of loving one's parents irrespective of their flaws and egos. But it was the depiction of Poo played by Kareena Kapoor that became a rage. From her styling, to her dialogues to the character itself, Kapoor literally stole the limelight in the film that had veterans playing pivotal roles. The film has over the years attained a cult status for its humour not so much for its drama.&nbsp;</p>

<p><img alt="r" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="af77db87-5bc8-4dd3-8f3e-e946525e7d17" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/Your%20paragraph%20text%20-%202023-07-27T153142.357.jpg" /></p>

<p><strong>4-Lust Stories-</strong>&nbsp;How many filmmakers in India talk about female sexuality? Hardly a handful. Which is why anthology <em>Lust Stories </em>was such a winner. It had four distinct stories of women exploring their sexual urges. Johar's short featured Kiara Advani and Vicky Kaushal in the lead where Kiara played a new bride who is unable to find sexual satisfaction from her husband - who literally comes in five thrusts every night. Quirky and semi-meta (specially the hillarious climax) the film took a snide jab at Indian men and their preconvceived notions on sex and their machismo.&nbsp;</p>

<p><img alt="m" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="83a489f2-5a36-4dd8-a08d-e61dc58f8a82" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/Your%20paragraph%20text%20-%202023-07-27T153153.732.jpg" /></p>

<p><strong>3- My Name Is Khan- </strong>Johar's most political film to date, <em>My Name Is Khan</em> received mixed reviews when it had released. The film had Shah Rukh Khan playing Rizwan Khan, an autistic Muslim who sets out on a journey across the United States to meet the US President to prove that he is not a terrorist. The film was set in the backdrop of 9/11 when Islamophobia was rampant in the country. Khan embarks on a journey after Mandira Rathod (Kajol), his Hindu wife, suffers from Islamophobic discrimination after the September 11 attacks. While many found the film stretched and incoherent, it was Khan's portrayal as Rizwan Khan that won hearts. Even though topical, the story was difficult to implement on screen, but Johar deftly handled the plot with great sensitivity.&nbsp;</p>

<p><img alt="k" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="5595bb19-28f9-4567-a715-993a57d4fdbc" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/Your%20paragraph%20text%20-%202023-07-27T153204.515.jpg" /></p>

<p><strong>2- Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna</strong>- The film, like most of Johar's movies, boasted of a big star cast that included Shah Rukh Khan, Rani Mukerji, Preity Zinta, Abhishek Bachchan and Amitabh Bachchan. On the surface, the film looked like a quintessential love story that involved four individuals, but it actually deftly handled adultery and unhappy marriages. Khan, the pin-up hero for Bollywood romances for decades, played a cynical man who was not just unhappy in life but also jealous of his wife's success and ventured out to have an illicit affair with an equally unhappy woman played by Rani Mukerji. While adultery has been dealt by many makers in Indian cinema before, it was Johar's treatment that made the film special.&nbsp;</p>

<p><img alt="h" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="6f68c01f-33aa-4899-b284-da9c851ae9cf" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/Your%20paragraph%20text%20-%202023-07-27T153231.189.jpg" /></p>

<p><strong>1- Bombay Talkies</strong>- Johar's most experimental and boldest film to date explored homosexuality in an anthology that celebrated 100 years of Indian cinema. Johar's short had Rani Mukerji and Randeep Hooda playing a modern, ambitious couple whose marriage gets disrupted when Avinash played by Saqib Saleem enters their life. The couple soon realises that they have been living a life full of lies and how Avinash plays a catalyst in bringing their true self out forms the rest of the story. The film had released in theatres in 2013, a time when Bollywood was still not accustomed to talk of homosexuality so openly in its commercial films. Johar, who till then had stuck to formula love stories, delivered a bold, out of the box story that addressed infidelity, homophobia and more. The film also featured a same-sex kissing scene - a tall order for a commercial Hindi film at any given point of time. What made the film extra special was that it had Johar, a very commercial film director known for extravagant sets and song-and-dance sequences in films, dealing with a topic like homosexuality with such grace and sensitivity.&nbsp;<br />

He may have produced more films than directed them in his 25 years in the film industry, but Johar's films have over the years become a movement of sorts, changed the way Hindi cinema is perceived the world over and managed to set trends like no other filmmaker had in the past two decades or more.

You love him, hate him but you can't ignore Karan Johar and his indomitable influence on Indian cinema. He may have produced more films than directed them in his 25 years in the film industry, but Johar's films have over the years become a movement of sorts, changed the way Hindi cinema is perceived the world over and managed to set trends like no other filmmaker had in the past two decades or more. In his career as a filmmaker and producer, Johar has been accused of being nepotistic, of creating a superfluous world in his films which set unrealistic standards in society, and for never being able to make cinema on relevant issues. But there is no denying that Johar always manages to create the perfect dream world that seems attainable to the general public yet it never is. Johar understands the business of cinema well and always knows where to put his money. Over the years, he has launched some of the most prominent names in acting and direction in Hindi cinema, proving that he understands talent and knows what and who will work. In 25 years in the film industry, Johar has directed only 10 films - including his upcoming Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani. Of the 10, three have been part of anthologies. That being said, one can safely state that almost each of Johar's films becomes a talking point after it releases. A day before his 10th film hits theatres, we ranked all his directorial ventures - from worst to best. 9- Student Of The Year- Karan Johar had once admitted that Student Of The Year was made perhaps to launch new faces in Bollywood. The film did serve the purpose as it gave us the incredibly talented Alia Bhatt, who in over a decade has proved how good an actor she is. The film also gave us Varun Dhawan and Sidharth Malhotra, who have created their own space in Bollywood. But when one looks at SOTY, it really is a very superfluous remake of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai - which itself was not the best film in terms of storytelling. A remake of multiple Hollywood high school dramas, SOTY was a long dragged affair that felt out of place even when it had released in 2012. Thank god, it had Alia Bhatt though, who in due course of time became the force that she is now. 8-Kuch Kuch Hota Hai- Johar's first film was a Hindi version of the Archies back in the day. When the film was released, featuring Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol and Rani Mukerji, it was a rage. Considered one of the biggest hits of the filmmaker's career, the film was a classic for a generation that grew up on SRK's staple diet of love stories. Yet, years later when you re-watch the film, you realise how superfluous and flimsy the plot was. The depiction of the two female leads, the screenplay, the process in which the lead couple falls in love were all very questionable and if made in today's time - would infuriate too many people instead of being loved. 7-Ghost Stories- Another anthology where Johar again was out of his comfort zone creating a horror story. Of course, the film featuring Mrunal Thakur and Avinash Tiwari in the lead, had its usual Johar trapping with opulant sets, newly married couple in a big bungalow but it also had the new bride (Thakur) discovering that something is amiss in her new home with her husband - who till the wedding night- seemed like her dream man. Johar's attempt at the genre did not create an impression - as much as the other shorts in the anthology did and the story fell to the usual Johar stereotypes and did not provide the thrills required in the horror story. 6-Ae Dil Hai Mushkil- Some say Ae Dil Hai Mushkil is Karan Johar's most personal film to date. The film deals with the complexities that come along with falling in love. Of sacrifices one makes in love, of unrequitted love. Weeks ahead of the film's release, it was plagued with controversy over the casting of Pakistani actor Fawad Khan in a cameo role for which Johar had to personally shoot an apology video and urge the public to not ban the film because of his special appearance. The film has Ranbir Kapoor playing Ayan, a man-child (like he does in most of his films) falling in love with the impulsive Alizeh (Anushka Sharma) who is in love with someone else. The film's treatment of unrequitted love appeared slightly problematic but Aishwarya Rai, who made a comeback of sorts with the film after a long gap, was a revelation in a role as a mysterious poetess. 5-Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham- I don't think even Johar had realised he was making a cult film when he made Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham. Featuring superstars of three different generations - Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan - the family drama ran on the theme of loving one's parents irrespective of their flaws and egos. But it was the depiction of Poo played by Kareena Kapoor that became a rage. From her styling, to her dialogues to the character itself, Kapoor literally stole the limelight in the film that had veterans playing pivotal roles. The film has over the years attained a cult status for its humour not so much for its drama. 4-Lust Stories- How many filmmakers in India talk about female sexuality? Hardly a handful. Which is why anthology Lust Stories was such a winner. It had four distinct stories of women exploring their sexual urges. Johar's short featured Kiara Advani and Vicky Kaushal in the lead where Kiara played a new bride who is unable to find sexual satisfaction from her husband - who literally comes in five thrusts every night. Quirky and semi-meta (specially the hillarious climax) the film took a snide jab at Indian men and their preconvceived notions on sex and their machismo. 3- My Name Is Khan- Johar's most political film to date, My Name Is Khan received mixed reviews when it had released. The film had Shah Rukh Khan playing Rizwan Khan, an autistic Muslim who sets out on a journey across the United States to meet the US President to prove that he is not a terrorist. The film was set in the backdrop of 9/11 when Islamophobia was rampant in the country. Khan embarks on a journey after Mandira Rathod (Kajol), his Hindu wife, suffers from Islamophobic discrimination after the September 11 attacks. While many found the film stretched and incoherent, it was Khan's portrayal as Rizwan Khan that won hearts. Even though topical, the story was difficult to implement on screen, but Johar deftly handled the plot with great sensitivity. 2- Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna- The film, like most of Johar's movies, boasted of a big star cast that included Shah Rukh Khan, Rani Mukerji, Preity Zinta, Abhishek Bachchan and Amitabh Bachchan. On the surface, the film looked like a quintessential love story that involved four individuals, but it actually deftly handled adultery and unhappy marriages. Khan, the pin-up hero for Bollywood romances for decades, played a cynical man who was not just unhappy in life but also jealous of his wife's success and ventured out to have an illicit affair with an equally unhappy woman played by Rani Mukerji. While adultery has been dealt by many makers in Indian cinema before, it was Johar's treatment that made the film special. 1- Bombay Talkies- Johar's most experimental and boldest film to date explored homosexuality in an anthology that celebrated 100 years of Indian cinema. Johar's short had Rani Mukerji and Randeep Hooda playing a modern, ambitious couple whose marriage gets disrupted when Avinash played by Saqib Saleem enters their life. The couple soon realises that they have been living a life full of lies and how Avinash plays a catalyst in bringing their true self out forms the rest of the story. The film had released in theatres in 2013, a time when Bollywood was still not accustomed to talk of homosexuality so openly in its commercial films. Johar, who till then had stuck to formula love stories, delivered a bold, out of the box story that addressed infidelity, homophobia and more. The film also featured a same-sex kissing scene - a tall order for a commercial Hindi film at any given point of time. What made the film extra special was that it had Johar, a very commercial film director known for extravagant sets and song-and-dance sequences in films, dealing with a topic like homosexuality with such grace and sensitivity.

Karan Johar shares making of What Jhumka song in viral behind-the-scenes video

<p>Karan Johar returned to the director’s seat after seven years with Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani. The film is making a lot of buzz these days as it is being heavily promoted on social media.

Its first song Tum Kya Mile is also a super hit song within just hours of its release. Recently, Alia also released a BTS vlog of the song. Lead actor Ranveer Singh also posted an Instagram story on Tuesday, where he could be seen inside a dubbing studio.</p>

<p>The actor must be having his hopes high with Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, as Ranveer did not have a successful 2022. Despite doing some good movies the actor could not have a single blockbuster last year. Moreover, after three back-to-back flops (83, Jayeshbhai Jordaar, and Cirkus), the actor is back in action. The promotions of Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani are going on in full swing and both the lead actors are leaving no stone unturned to advertise their upcoming film.</p>

<h2>Alia Bhatt shared Tum Kya Mile BTS vlog</h2>

<p>In most of Karan Johar's films, the actors are definitely shown romancing in the snowy valleys. Something similar will also be seen in the love story of Rocky and Rani. In the new BTS video shared by Alia herself, the actor was seen sliding in the snow in a chiffon saree, while Ranveer Singh was seen giving massages to the crew members. Karan Johar was also spotted dancing to the song Disco Deewane.</p>

<p>Trust Karan Johar to give us a all new love balad for this year. After teasing fans for days, the first song of <em>Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani </em>is finally out! Titled <em>Tum Kya Mile</em>, the song has been composed by Pritam and sung by Arijit Singh and Shreya Ghoshal.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The music video is a quintessential Bollywood love song with the film's lead Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt serenading each other in snow-capped locales of Kashmir.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The anticipation surrounding the release of this love anthem had the fans eagerly waiting for its full release.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Hours before the song was released online, the film's director Karan Johar penned an emotional note and said, “Love songs are always challenging, especially when one has a legacy to live up to. Love songs of Dharma Productions have always connected with audiences across the world. I remember we kept the recording of the love song of <em>Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani</em> at the end because Pritam Dada, Amitabh, and I were so nervous about how the song will be. We always met at our Bandra office because Dada considers it very lucky for him.<br />
I remember at one of our sessions, he made us hear just the melody of Tum Kya Mile and it immediately resonated with me. The simplicity of the tune connected with me. Amitabh wrote so beautifully - I love the use of the word Phagun. Arijit and Shreya bringing their almost genius to the melody was like a <em>sone pe suhaga. Tum Kya Mile </em>is really a piece of all our collective hearts and I do hope it finds the same beautiful connection with audiences as many of our love songs.”</p>

<p>In a statement, Arijit Singh shared, "It has been an absolute joy to lend my voice to Pritam Da’s mesmerizing composition of '<em>Tum Kya Mile</em>.' I am thrilled to be a part of such a beautiful and heartfelt melody. Working with Karan and Dharma Productions once again has been a pleasure. I hope that this rendition connects with the listeners and evokes the same emotions that we felt while bringing this song to life.</p>

<p>Bollywood star Ranveer Singh recently open up about his wife and actress Deepika Padukone unveiling the FIFA World Cup 2022 trophy last year. Ranveer, also known for his love for sports, never misses an opportunity to watch matches at the stadiums. Be it cricket or football, the actor tries not to skip big matches. It was no different for the FIFA World Cup 2022 final in December 2022, when the 37-year-old watched the match at the Lusail Stadium, Doha. It was a proud moment for Ranveer Singh as his wife and Louis Vuitton brand ambassador Deepika Padukone unveiled the FIFA World Cup trophy.</p>

<h2>Ranveer called the moment grand and glorious</h2>

<p>Talking to ETimes, Ranveer Singh opened up about the Dubai match and said that watching Deepika become the first Indian to even touch the FIFA trophy was a proud moment for him. The NBA Brand Ambassador for India called the moment grand and glorious. He also said that the FIFA final was the world’s biggest spectacle and he was happy to be there with his wife Deepika and ‘so proud’ to see her unveil the World Cup trophy.</p>

The 64-year-old hesitated and asked Singh to introduce himself as he was unable to recognise him.</p>

<p>Ranveer Singh was quick to reply and said, “I’m a Bollywood actor and I hail from Mumbai, India. I am an entertainer.”</p>

Karan Johar clocks 25 years in the industry: A look back at his biggest hits and flops

<p>Trust Karan Johar to bring back larger-than-life, quintessential Bollywood romance to screen. While we have all loved the recent shift in the narrative in Hindi cinema, with more and more filmmakers opting for real stories - mostly told from the smaller towns of India, there is no denying that we all have missed a true blue Bollywood romance complete with elaborate dance sequences etc on the big screen. Well, the wait seems to be over as Karan Johar dropped the first teaser of his new project <em>Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani </em>on Tuesday.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Featuring Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh in the lead, the teaser gives a glimpse at the family drama that is set to unfold on the big screens on July 28. The film also stars Dharmendra, Jaya Bachchan, Shabana Azmi and Churni Ganguly among others.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
A burst of colours, opulent sets and designer wears dominate the 1:19 minute-long teaser. Not much is divulged about the plot though but the teaser shows multiple celebrations happening.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The film is special as Karan Johar is celebrating his 25th year in the movies as a filmmaker. His friend, superstar Shah Rukh Khan shared the teaser on Instagram and wrote, "Wow Karan 25 years as a filmmaker. You've come a long way baby!! Your father and my friend Tom uncle must be seeing this from heaven and feeling extremely happy and proud."</p>

<p>"Have always told you to make more and more films because we need the ethereal magic of love being brought to life... like only u can do. #RockyAurRanikiPremKahaani teaser is looking beautiful. Love you and best wishes to the cast and crew...," he concluded.</p>

Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani teaser: Karan Johar brings back quintessential Bollywood romance

<p>Karan Johar will don the director’s hat for a special film co-starring Varun Dhawan and Tiger Shroff reportedly. The ace filmmaker’s Dharma Productions made a rather cryptic post on their official Twitter handle, talking about an impending announcement. The post reads that Karan will return to direction and will helm a project in a new avatar.&nbsp;</p>

<p>According to a report in Bollywood Hungama, this announcement is regarding a new two-hero action film starring Varun Dhawan and Tiger Shroff. The project is yet-to-be-titled.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The report suggests, “On May 25, Karan will be turning a year old, and with that, he intends on embarking on a new journey of filmmaking. So far Karan’s forte in filmmaking has been family dramas and romantic stories. However, he is eager to try his hand with the action genre.”&nbsp;</p>

<p>“For 25 years now Karan has been doing a certain kind of cinema, and he is looking to experiment and change. Change is always good, and given his experience in filmmaking, it will most certainly be a cakewalk for him. But yes, action is the new genre that Karan is looking at right now.”</p>

<p>Further talking about the casting, the source continues, “Tiger Shroff has already established himself as an action star with films like Heropanti, Baaghi, and War. He has excelled in entertaining the audience with his high-octane stunts and perfect execution. So, it comes as no surprise that Karan has roped him to feature as one of the two leads in the new project. As for Varun Dhawan, he too has had his share of action films, though they were action dramas or comedies, he has proved that he has what it takes to become an action hero.”</p>

<p>The maker is yet to finalise a female lead for the film. Karan apparently wants a new vibe for the film.&nbsp;</p>

Karan Johar to return to direction with an action film starring Tiger Shroff, Varun Dhawan?

<p>Alia Bhatt has time and again, found herself in the center of the nepotism debate in India. The actress is the daughter of filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt and actress Soni Razadn and was launched by Karan Johar in 2012. Bhatt has over a period of time, proved her mettle as an actor yet has been often called a product of nepotism. Now, in a recent cover story for Harper's Bazaar Arabia, the actress has opened up about her thoughts on nepotism.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
"It has definitely come up a lot in conversation over the last couple of years. The long and short of it is, I empathise. I understand that it's possibly been easier for me to get through the door than maybe the next person. And I compare my dreams to another person's dreams: no dream is bigger or smaller, or more intense. Everybody's dreams are the same, everybody's desire is the same," said the actress.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Bhatt also acknowledged that she had a relatively early start thanks to her family lineage.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
"I completely understand where that conversation comes from. The only thing I can say is that I acknowledge the fact that I have gotten that head start. I acknowledge the fact that I do have that privilege, which is why I give 100 percent every day and I never take my work for granted. The only thing I can do is keep my head down and keep working."</p>

<br />
The debate on nepotism started on Karan Johar's chat show <em>Koffee With Karan,</em> when Kangana Ranaut labelled Karan Johar as the "flagbearer of nepotism," when she made an appearance on his chat show in 2016. Johar has been known to launch fresh faces in Bollywood through his movies - some of these actors belong to film families.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Alia also spoke about cancel culture and how she deals with it. "I have many thoughts. I also have many opinions. But I also feel like the world is full of opinions right now. So, I think the kind of person I want to be is one that keeps my opinions to myself and leads with kindness and silence. Because we're missing a lot of that.

Alia Bhatt has time and again, found herself in the center of the nepotism debate in India. The actress is the daughter of filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt and actress Soni Razadn and was launched by Karan Johar in 2012.

Alia Bhatt has time and again, found herself in the center of the nepotism debate in India. The actress is the daughter of filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt and actress Soni Razadn and was launched by Karan Johar in 2012. Bhatt has over a period of time, proved her mettle as an actor yet has been often called a product of nepotism. Now, in a recent cover story for Harper's Bazaar Arabia, the actress has opened up about her thoughts on nepotism. "It has definitely come up a lot in conversation over the last couple of years. The long and short of it is, I empathise. I understand that it's possibly been easier for me to get through the door than maybe the next person. And I compare my dreams to another person's dreams: no dream is bigger or smaller, or more intense. Everybody's dreams are the same, everybody's desire is the same," said the actress. Bhatt also acknowledged that she had a relatively early start thanks to her family lineage. "I completely understand where that conversation comes from. The only thing I can say is that I acknowledge the fact that I have gotten that head start. I acknowledge the fact that I do have that privilege, which is why I give 100 percent every day and I never take my work for granted. The only thing I can do is keep my head down and keep working."

Johar has been known to launch fresh faces in Bollywood through his movies - some of these actors belong to film families. Alia also spoke about cancel culture and how she deals with it. "I have many thoughts. I also have many opinions. But I also feel like the world is full of opinions right now. So, I think the kind of person I want to be is one that keeps my opinions to myself and leads with kindness and silence. Because we're missing a lot of that. And yeah, I do feel people are very quick to judge. But there's also a lot of good in the world that's happening. So I choose to focus on that, and as long as I'm not adding to the noise and staying away from it, I'm okay."

Alia Bhatt on nepotism: I acknowledge that I have a privilege

<p>If there’s one thing we should know as a race – the skeletons always fall out of&nbsp;the closet, someday or the other. Something similar happened with Indian film director-producer Karan Johar, who is in the news for an old video where he disapproves of Anushka Sharma being a part of the film industry and revealed that he wanted to murder Anushka’s career even before it picked up. With trolls picking on Karan for the same, the filmmaker has now put out a statement on his Instagram in the form of a poem.&nbsp;</p>

<p>It was a Reddit user who stumbled upon an old video of Karan Johar and Anushka Sharma as they attend an event ahead of the release of their film <em>Ae Dil Hai Mushkil.&nbsp;</em></p>

<p>In the video, Karan was heard saying, “I totally wanted to, completely murder Anushka Sharma’s career. Because when Aditya Chopra showed me her image, I was like, ‘no, no, mad or what, you signing her, you crazy! There is no need for you to sign this Anushka Sharma’. There was another lead actress at that time who I wanted Adi to sign, and I was totally behind the scene sabotaging her completely. The movie also I was reluctantly watching <em>Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi.”</em></p>

<p>Meanwhile, netizens haven’t taken lightly to this video. With a barrage of negative comments and hate coming his way, Karan Johar has posted an Instagram story that seems like an answer to all the trolls. Taking to Insta story, KJo penned a note which read, “, “Laga lo ilzaam, hum jhukne waalon mein se nahi.., jhoot ka ban jao ghulam…., hum bolne waalon mein se nahi…, jitna neecha dikhaoge…, jitne aarop lagaoge…, hum girne waalon mein se nahi…, humara karam humari Vijay hai…aap utha lo talvaar… Hum marne waalon mein se nahi… (You can accuse me, it won't break me...You can call me a liar, it won't affect me...You can try with all your might to destroy my image, it won't bother me. My work is workship. My work speaks)".</p>

Karan Johar responds to trolls with a poem on hate over 'killing Anushka Sharma's career' viral video

<p>Not long after Priyanka Chopra revealed that she left Bollywood because she had 'beef' with people and that she was tired of all the politics, she was seen commingling with who's who of the Hindi film industry at an event in Mumbai. Photos and videos from the event showing her chatting happily with Karan Johar and others have surfaced online. With Priyanka was her husband and American singer Nick Jonas. One video, shared by paparazzo Viral Bhayani shows Priyanka talking with Karan a huge grin on her face as Jonas stands awkwardly on one side. There is another instant in the same video in which Deepika Padukone talks to Karan with a similarly broad smile as Ranveer Singh, who tries to insinuate himself into the conversation, stands beside them.&nbsp;</p>

Not long after Priyanka Chopra revealed that she left Bollywood because she had 'beef' with people and that she was tired of all the politics, she was seen commingling with who's who of the Hindi film industry at an event in Mumbai. Photos and videos from the event showing her chatting happily with Karan Johar and others have surfaced online. With Priyanka was her husband and American singer Nick Jonas. One video, shared by paparazzo Viral Bhayani shows Priyanka talking with Karan a huge grin on her face as Jonas stands awkwardly on one side. There is another instant in the same video in which Deepika Padukone talks to Karan with a similarly broad smile as Ranveer Singh, who tries to insinuate himself into the conversation, stands beside them.

<p>An old clip of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan speaking about Alia Bhatt getting good opportunities thanks to Karan Johar's support is doing the rounds of the internet. The video is reportedly from 2018 when the actress was promoting her film <em>Fanney Khan</em> which co-starred Anil Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao. Several fans now feel that Aishwarya stated facts and also took a sly dig at Alia Bhatt.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
In the clip, the former Miss World can be heard saying to a media outlet that Alia Bhatt gets only "good opportunities and work" in her lap because of her Karan Johar's support. Aishwarya then quickly praises Alia and how she has proved her talent in various movies.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
“I have said this to her (Alia Bhatt) also, ‘It’s fantastic for you’. The kind of support Karan (Johar) has given to her from the beginning, and to have that kind of an establishment with you is very comforting because you know it is not tough. You can have it all laid out for the longest time. And she smiled. It’s great where you as an actor know there are only good opportunities ahead.”<br />
<br />
“But what’s nice is she (Alia Bhatt) is also doing good work, along with great opportunities which are virtually there literally on her lap, regularly,” added Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.</p>

<p>As Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani shared the first images of their wedding, they broke the internet. Fans of the 'Shershaah' star had been waiting for days to catch a glimpse of the two actors in their wedding attire. Several actors wished the new couple as they shared glimpses of their royal wedding at Suryagarh Fort in Jaisalmer on Tuesday early evening.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Among the wishes that flowed in for Sid and Kiara, Karan Johar's wish stood out. The filmmaker is known to be close to the couple and was one of the attendees at the wedding. Johar took to Instagram to share a heartfelt note for the two actors. "I met him a decade and a half ago…. Silent, strong and still so sensitive…. I met her many years after… silent ,strong and so sensitive in equal measure…Then they met each other and i realised in that moment that the these two pillars of strength and dignity can make an irreplaceable bond and create the most magical love story together…. Watching them is a fairy tale that is rooted in tradition and family…<br />
As they exchanged vows on a mandap of mohabbat everyone around them felt the pulse…felt the energy… I sat proud, elated and bursting with only love for the two of them! I love you Sid…. I love you Ki…. May today be your forever….." KJo wrote.&nbsp;</p>

As Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani shared the first images of their wedding, they broke the internet.

Sidharth Malhotra-Kiara Advani wedding: Karan Johar pens heartfelt note, Alia, Varun wish the couple

Dubai, UK, Switzerland and other exotic locations where celebs welcomed 2023

<p>2022 has been a tough year for Bollywood overall. In a year when most Hindi films were rejected by moviegoers and the #boycott trended more than the film titles&nbsp;on social media, there was very little to celebrate in Bollywood. But if there was a glimmer of sunshine amid so much hate it was to witness the rise of actress Alia Bhatt who cemented her position at the top this year with three hits, delivering stellar performances in three distinct films.</p>

<p>For Alia, the year began with Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Gangubai Kathiawadi. Based on the real-life character of the same known who was known to run a small nexus in Kamathipura the red light district of Mumbai in the 1970s- 80s, there was a certain amount of literature available on Gangu. And so when Bhansali had initially announced the film with Bhatt in the lead, most were skeptical as they felt the actress was too young to play such a role. But Bhatt manages to shut the harshest of her critics as she brought a certain gravitas to her character. The range that the character goes through through the course of the film - from a gullible, innocent girl who is forced into prostitution to becoming the leader of the pack and subsequently a political leader who becomes messiah for many in her area, Bhatt showcased myriad emotions effectively delivering a haunting, impactful performance.</p>

<p>Next up was SS Rajamouli's global blockbuster RRR which had Bhatt in an extended cameo. The film marked her debut in Telugu cinema and even though her screen time as Sita was limited, she managed to create an impression among the audience. Rajamouli's 'RRR' continues to garner praise across the world eight months after its release and is now being touted as an Oscar favourite in a few categories. Its popularity worldwide has not just helped Rajamouli clinch a deal with top talent management agency CAA but also helped its actors gain prominence outside of India- including Alia Bhatt.&nbsp;</p>

<p><img alt="alia" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="51a9a6d1-0398-43fe-a7e4-bb585ae38e3e" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/Untitled%20design%20-%202022-12-01T131849.328.jpg" /></p>

<p>The actress also turned producer this year and collaborated with Shah Rukh Khan's Red Chillies to produce a dark comedy called 'Darlings' which was released on Netflix. The film had Alia Bhatt playing Badru, a victim of domestic violence at home. How she and her mother Shamshu (Shefali Shah) take revenge on her husband Hamza forms the rest of the story. Directed by debutant Jasmeet Reen, the film boasted of terrific performances from its entire cast including Bhatt, Shah and Vijay Verma who played the lead. Debunking a few societal myths around marriage and love, the film was a stunning cinematic experience. Engaging, quirky, and a story that made you rethink the notion of redemption. &nbsp;Bhatt shined, as the vulnerable Badru who has to come to terms with her abusive husband and take charge of things.&nbsp;</p>

<p><img alt="aa" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="b3242f19-b2ce-4a31-9f48-a7d3e9fdc189" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/Untitled%20design%20-%202022-12-01T131859.769.jpg" /></p>

<p>Alia closed the year with Ayan Mukerji's dream project, 'Brahamastra Part 1:Shiva' - a film that the actress on several past occasions, has termed as special. It is on the sets of this film that she fell in love and started dating actor Ranbir Kapoor. &nbsp;The pair tied the knot in April this year and they welcomed their first child, a baby girl, in November. Kapoor and Bhatt also shared a crackling chemistry in 'Brahmastra Part 1 : Shiva' a film that merged mythology with modern-day technology to create India's very own superhero franchise. Several critics felt Bhatt was wasted in the film which mostly focussed on Shiva's character but the film's box office success ensured Bhatt's position as the number one star.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Amid four releases, film promotions, marriage and pregnancy- she also went to the US to film her first Hollywood film - an action thriller called 'Heart Of Stone' co-starring Gal Gadot and Jamie Dornan'. The film is set to release in 2023 exclusively on Netflix.&nbsp;</p>

<p><img alt="aa" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="4aa39f43-181e-4ad2-9483-4da3837e8f3b" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/Untitled%20design%20-%202022-12-01T131925.206.jpg" /></p>

<p>For most in Bollywood, marriage and a baby leads to a career break if not a complete exit from films. But Bhatt is raring to go, she married at the peak of her career and there's so much still of her to be discovered by the audience. Bhatt also has Karan Johar's 'Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani' opposite Ranveer Singh, releasing in early 2023, and needless to say, the film is going to be a quintessential Bollywood romance that Johar is known for. And Bhatt beautifully balances it all. From playing the quintessential Bollywood heroine to backing and starring in a film on domestic violence- Alia Bhatt manages to shine in every role.&nbsp;</p>

The film is set to release in 2023 exclusively on Netflix. For most in Bollywood, marriage and a baby leads to a career break if not a complete exit from films. But Bhatt is raring to go, she married at the peak of her career and there's so much still of her to be discovered by the audience. Bhatt also has Karan Johar's 'Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani' opposite Ranveer Singh, releasing in early 2023, and needless to say, the film is going to be a quintessential Bollywood romance that Johar is known for. And Bhatt beautifully balances it all. From playing the quintessential Bollywood heroine to backing and starring in a film on domestic violence- Alia Bhatt manages to shine in every role.

The familial nostalgic feeling of an ensemble cast, creating music that captivates the hearts and a story that runs deep to the roots of our family traditions.”</p>

<p>Bollywood filmmaker Karan Johar on Monday announced that he was quitting the micro-blogging app Twitter. Johar announced the decision on Twitter before deactivating his account from the medium.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The filmmaker who has often been on the receiving end of trolls on social media, wrote,", "Making space for more positive energies only and this is step one towards that. Goodbye Twitter!"&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Soon after he shared the tweet, fans hailed his move and flooded the comment section. A user wrote, "Positive energy and peace is far more important than any SM platform. Cheers KJo have a good one," and another wrote, "Good Bye Karan. See you in Jhalak Dikhla Jaa."&nbsp;<br />
<br />
It is not clear yet what led to Johar quitting the social media platform. It is also unclear whether he has gone off Twitter permanently of temporarily.<br />
<br />

"I built some kind of thick skin over the years. Honestly, it doesn't bother me the way people think it should bother me when I read stuff that is completely putrid, awful. They come down to even abusing my kids. Those are times when I feel like f***, just leave them out of it. I'm like, you can say whatever you want about me, my sexuality or about all the conspiracy theories they have that are really down and dirty. It really doesn't bother me and it's not like I have not been in therapy and I haven't had issues in the past," the director had said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>At present Johar is seen playing a celebrity judge on the dance reality TV show 'Jhalak Dikhlaa Jaa'. The actor's next directorial venture featuring Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh will release next year.&nbsp;</p>

Karan Johar quits Twitter: Making space for more positive energies 

<p>Looks like Bollywood's lean phase is finally coming to an end. The Hindi film industry's big release last Friday, Ayan Mukerji's 'Brahmastra' received a good response at the theatres and has had a 'fabulous' opening weekend.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The film has reportedly,&nbsp;earned over Rs 120 crore (USD 15 million approx) at the Indian box office. Not just that, the film grossed the most numbers worldwide and ran to packed theatres overseas.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Considering there was no major Hollywood release on September 9, 'Brahmastra' particularly did well in several cities of Australia, New Zeland and the US.&nbsp;</p>

<p>According to reports, Ranbir Kapoor- Alia Bhatt starrer earned $27 million worldwide- of which, the film has fetched $4.4 million from the US market alone. &nbsp;The film is being termed as the highest-grossing film in the world by US-based box office tracker Box Office Mojo.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
'Brahmastra' was released in theatres worldwide in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam. The film is expected to grow in the coming days due to word-of-mouth publicity.&nbsp;</p>

<br />
The film faced multiple delays due to post-production work as well as the pandemic. Featuring Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Mouni Roy and Amitabh Bachchan, it also has prominent cameos of Nagarjuna and Shah Rukh Khan.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
WION's in its review of the film, termed it as a visual extravaganza with an incoherent story. "While there are several flaws in the film's writing, the VFX more than makes up for it. It is a visual extravaganza that Indian cinema has not seen before. SS Rajamouli's 'Baahubali' too was heavily backed by VFX but 'Brahmastra' perhaps takes it a step ahead. The second half especially is stunning," wrote Shomini Sen in her review.&nbsp;</p>
