• Karan Johar’s directorial venture, “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani.”
• The positive trend continued on Sunday with collections of Rs 18.50 crore.
• The total three-day box office stands at an encouraging Rs 44.50 crore.

Karan Johar’s directorial venture, “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani,” starring Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt, has made an impressive start at the box office. The film opened with Rs 10.50 crore, followed by a significant surge on Saturday, collecting Rs 15.50 crore. The positive trend continued on Sunday with collections of Rs 18.50 crore. The total three-day box office stands at an encouraging Rs 44.50 crore.

Urban centers, especially the three national multiplex chains – PVR, Inox, and Cinepolis – played a pivotal role in the film’s success, contributing 63 percent to the total business. With a strong performance in metros, the film is expected to have long-lasting legs at the box office. Other multiplex chains like MovieMax and Rajhans also fared well, adding Rs 82 lakh and 50 lakh, respectively, to the weekend collections.

Corporate bookings added some boost to the opening weekend, but the film’s positive trend without them indicates a promising run ahead. The film has garnered a positive response among its target audience, boding well for its performance on Monday. Karan Johar’s high expectations and the film’s costs call for sustained success, with the film needing to cross Rs 120 crore to achieve the “Average and above” success tag.

Despite the chance of muted growth on Sunday due to the previous day’s Muharram holiday, “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani” managed to register a 17 percent rise, showcasing promising trends. A Monday collection in the north of Rs 6 crore would be a considerable achievement and ensure robust weekday performance.

As the film continues its journey, the industry eagerly awaits its fate, keeping an eye on the Monday test. With positive word-of-mouth and encouraging weekend numbers, the hopes are high for “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani” to leave a lasting impact at the box office.

• “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani,” featuring Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt in the lead roles.
• “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani,” supported by Shabana Azmi, Jaya Bachchan, and Dharmendra.

Karan Johar’s latest directorial venture, “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani,” featuring Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt in the lead roles and supported by Shabana Azmi, Jaya Bachchan, and Dharmendra, had a lukewarm opening at the Indian box office, earning approximately Rs 10.50 crores nett. However, the film witnessed a significant upswing on its second day (Saturday), raking in around 15 – 16 crores, thanks to positive word of mouth and the occasion of Muharram.

The combined two-day collection for the film stands at Rs 26 crores nett in India. If the movie continues to perform well on Sunday, industry experts predict an opening weekend figure of Rs 45 crores nett, which, considering the production costs, is quite decent. This positive trend marks the film’s first signs of success.

It is worth noting that the first two days saw a substantial number of corporate bookings, which will extend to day 3 as well, bolstering the film’s overall box office performance.

“Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani” gained momentum primarily in top national multiplex chains, namely PVR, Inox, and Cinepolis, accounting for around 65 per cent of its total business. On the first day, these multiplex chains contributed around Rs 6.75 crores to the film’s collections, and on the second day, the numbers slightly exceeded Rs 10 crores nett. The strong performance in these multiplex chains gives hope for a stable hold on Monday and subsequent weekdays, following the initial weekend.

In the current post-pandemic scenario, well-received films have shown the ability to sustain their performance for several weeks. Karan Johar is optimistic that “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani” will follow suit and continue its successful run even after the opening weekend.

“Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani” Synopsis:

The film tells the tale of a flamboyant Punjabi man named Rocky and an intellectual Bengali journalist named Rani, who fall in love despite their stark cultural differences.

Karan Johar’s latest directorial venture, “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani,” has made an impressive start at the overseas box office, with early estimates indicating an opening day collection of $1.15-1.20 million. The film’s success marks the fourth-best debut for a Bollywood film this year, trailing behind “Pathaan,” “Adipurush,” and “Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan.” Notably, “Adipurush” garnered a significant portion of its earnings from the Telugu version, while “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani” outperformed it in the Hindi version alone. The film is projected to amass $3.75-4 million over the weekend on the international circuit.

North America emerged as the top-performing market for the film, raking in nearly half a million dollars, surpassing the $305K earned by “Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan.” While the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand performed similarly to “KKBKKJ,” the Middle East saw a slight shortfall in collections. Despite the Eid boost, “KKBKKJ” managed to collect $730K in the region, while “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani” is projected to attain only about half of that amount.

Even his 2016 film “Ae Dil Hai Mushkil” garnered a stellar opening of $2.80 million. As such, the anticipation for Karan Johar’s films to perform exceptionally well overseas remains evident.

The territorial breakdown for the film’s first-day overseas collections is as follows:

• North America: $475,000
• Middle East: Approximately $350,000
• Australia: $75,000
• New Zealand: $20,000
• United Kingdom: $105,000
• Europe: $70,000
• Rest of World: $80,000 Total: $1,175,000 / Rs. 9.60 crores

• The much-anticipated Karan Johar-directed film, “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani”.
• Starring Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt, has commenced its box-office journey with a moderate opening in India.
• The movie’s performance is primarily centered around multiplexes.

The much-anticipated Karan Johar-directed film, “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani,” starring Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt, has commenced its box office journey with a moderate opening in India. Early trends suggest that the film is likely to gross around Rs 10.00 to 11.00 crore on its opening day, with national chains such as PVR, Inox, and Cinepolis contributing approximately Rs 6.75 to 7.25 crore to the overall collection. The movie’s performance is primarily centered around multiplexes, while it has struggled to gain traction in other cinema formats.

Expectations were slightly higher for “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani,” and it should have ideally crossed the Rs 12 crore mark on its opening day. However, it fell short of these predictions, amassing around Rs 11 crore. The film’s business is largely driven by metropolitan cities, and the hope is that it will attract audiences from mass belts over the weekend, thanks to its family-oriented storyline.

The film has garnered some corporate bookings for the weekend, but its true success will depend on positive word-of-mouth and organic audience support. Being targeted towards urban viewers, it is anticipated to witness significant growth in collections on Saturday and Sunday.

Early critical reviews for “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani” have been favorable, creating optimism for its box office prospects. The movie’s success is crucial for the Hindi Film Industry, given its higher production costs compared to other romantic films like “Satyaprem Ki Katha” and “Jug Jugg Jeeyo.” Therefore, it needs to achieve substantial box office numbers to emerge as a profitable venture.

In order to maintain momentum and secure success, “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani” must achieve significant growth over the weekend and sustain steady collections on Monday. While the film has found an audience in metropolitan cities, the mass belts should have contributed more, especially considering its family-oriented subject. However, the absence of a chartbuster song may have hindered what could have been a stronger opening.

“Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani” narrates the love story of Rocky, a flamboyant Punjabi, and Rani, an intellectual Bengali journalist, who fall in love despite their contrasting backgrounds. When they face opposition from their families, they decide to live with each other’s families for three months before tying the knot. The movie’s fate at the box office hinges on whether they can win over each other’s families.

Overall, “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani” holds promise and is expected to rely on positive word-of-mouth and favorable reviews to drive its box office success. As the film continues its theatrical run, audiences are eagerly waiting to witness the unfolding love story of Rocky and Rani.

• Karan Johar’s latest directorial venture, “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani,” presents a delightful love story.
• Starring Ranveer Singh as the flamboyant Punjabi Rocky Randhawa.
• Alia Bhatt as the intellectual Bengali journalist Rani Chatterjee.

Karan Johar’s latest directorial venture, “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani,” presents a delightful love story set against the backdrop of intricate family dynamics. Starring Ranveer Singh as the flamboyant Punjabi Rocky Randhawa and Alia Bhatt as the intellectual Bengali journalist Rani Chatterjee, the film revolves around their love blossoming while organizing a reunion for their grandparents, Kanwal (played by Dharmendra) and Jamini (portrayed by Shabana Azmi). However, an unexpected twist in the form of a family swap before the wedding puts their love to the test. How will they win over each other’s families, and what profound lessons will they learn during this journey? The answers unfold in “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani.”

What Works:

“Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani” brilliantly captures the essence of love intertwined with family drama, reminiscent of Karan Johar’s iconic storytelling style. The film offers a breath of fresh air amidst the sea of action-packed dramas that have dominated recent times. Unlike some of Johar’s previous films that catered to a specific audience, the wide-ranging potential of this plot makes it relatable to a broader spectrum of viewers, thanks to its captivating scale, vibrant colors, soulful music, heartwarming comedy, and engaging drama.

The movie boasts moments of genuine humor and laugh-out-loud dialogues that lighten the atmosphere whenever needed. The initial romantic sequences between Alia and Ranveer bring a smile to the audience’s faces, though some may find them slightly rushed. Notably, the captivating birthday episode, the enchanting Kashmir setting, and the impeccable chemistry between the lead pair are among the film’s highlights. Ranveer and Alia’s commendable introductory acts contribute to the movie’s overall charm. Additionally, certain dramatic segments in the second half, particularly those featuring Dharmendra’s character, leave a lasting impact. The well-executed climax strikes an emotional chord with the audience, creating a lasting impression.

The entire ensemble cast delivers solid performances, and the seamless incorporation of classic songs enhances the narrative’s appeal.

What Doesn’t Work:

At certain points, “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani” tends to adopt a superficial treatment, as the film grapples with trying to address multiple social themes simultaneously. This diversion from the core family drama occasionally hampers the film’s focus. Additionally, certain jokes in the first half may come across as too loud and not resonate well with all viewers. The movie could benefit from tighter editing, especially during some episodes in the first 40 minutes of the second half that feel stretched. While the film caters well to the 40+ audience as a family drama, it may potentially alienate younger viewers. A more impactful soundtrack could have further elevated the film’s buzz and curiosity.

Cast Performances:

Ranveer Singh shines in the role of Rocky Randhawa, skillfully portraying an energetic and flamboyant character that could have been a misfire in the wrong hands. However, his vibrant screen presence ensures a successful portrayal. Alia Bhatt steals the show as Rani Chatterjee, captivating audiences with her versatile performance that seamlessly navigates between fearlessness, emotional depth, and comedy. Their commendable performances, particularly during the film’s duller moments, significantly contribute to its overall success.

Dharmendra’s portrayal of Kanwal brings forth moments of laughter, while Shabana Azmi leaves a lasting impact despite her limited screen time. Jaya Bachchan delivers a competent performance as Dhanlakshmi Randhawa, although her character borders on the stereotypical mother-in-law seen in daily soaps. The supporting cast, including Aamir Bashir, Kshitee Jog, Anjali Anand, Namit Das, Churni Ganguly, Tota Roy Choudhary, and Abhinav Sharma, also excel in their respective roles.

Verdict:

“Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani” stands as a heartwarming and engaging family entertainer that is sure to find its audience in urban metros. Karan Johar’s conviction in crafting this film, combined with the standout performances of Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt, compensates for occasional shortcomings in humor and pacing. While some may find the film to be more of a family drama than a traditional love story, the charismatic chemistry between the lead pair and the film’s overall charm make it a successful venture. For those seeking a meaningful love story with a touch of family drama, “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani” is a must-watch.
