The much-anticipated trailer for ‘Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani’ has finally been released, and it has lived up to the expectations of fans. True to the quintessential Karan Johar style, the film promises a delightful blend of romance, glamour, and family drama. While the trailer’s grandeur has generated a surge of excitement, a certain segment of social media, particularly the Bengali community, has expressed their disappointment towards Karan Johar with the humorous one-liners delivered by Ranveer Singh’s character, Rocky.
In the trailer, when Rocky arrives at Rani’s (Alia Bhatt) house for his three-month stay, he stumbles upon a portrait of Rabindranath Tagore, whom he shockingly mistakes for Rani’s grandfather. While this misunderstanding adds a touch of subtle humor to the storyline, it also introduces an element of absurdity that some viewers find unsatisfactory.
The jokes aimed at Rabindranath Tagore failed to impress the Bengali audience, who hold a deep reverence for the iconic literary figure. Many individuals took to social media to criticize Karan Johar for what they perceived as a “disrespectful” portrayal of Rabindranath Tagore.
One user expressed their disappointment, stating, “This trailer was filled with unfunny Bengali stereotypes. Karan Johar seems to be stuck in the mid-2000s version of filmmaking. This movie is destined to be a flop.”
Another disgruntled user mocked the film’s creators, saying, “Perhaps they believed that showcasing lavish sets, opulent costumes, and extravagant dance numbers would be sufficient to captivate the audience. Who cares about the script?”
Blaming the trends in Bollywood, another user lamented, “Bollywood never seems to learn from its past mistakes. How can you mock Rabindranath Tagore? It is highly unacceptable to disrespect a man of his stature.”
The trailer is filled with eccentric dialogues and dramatic scenes, designed to amplify the entertainment factor. However, these particular one-liners have sparked a storm on social media. Meanwhile, ‘Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani’ is scheduled for a theatrical release on July 28.
