Saw Karan Johar's movie Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani.
A wonderful light movie with cutting humour. A buffed up Ranveer with a six pack and Alia who is her own cute self are of course good.
Dharmendra, Shabana Azmi and Jaya Bhaduri play their age. The love story between Dharmendra and Shabana is a nice side plot.
The story is of course boy meets girl, families oppose, etc. etc. like every third Hindi movie.
But the script is still the best part of the movie, at least before the interval. Full of cutting takes on tradition, modernity, feminism, toxic masculinity, gender roles... with a typical Karan Johar irreverence.
After the interval it turns into some typical Bollywood melodrama but thankfully never too heavy.
What a relief to watch a nice non intellectual fluffy Bollywood movie, especially within a week of watching Oppenheimer which is a total intellectually pretentious dimaag ka dahi.
Highly recommended for those who go to the movies just to have a good time.
Disclaimer: Karan Johar behind the camera is ok, but I can't stand him in front of it. Watching him in Koffee with Karan almost makes me puke
