Happy 4th of July!!!! To celebrate, we have TWO Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani trailers! And some clue as to the plot.
First, the love song! Classic Kashmir love song, looks like probably a work trip set-up (Alia is holding a microphone), and then they realize they are in love. I’m a little confused by how distressed Alia looks right at the end when they are embracing, although I also love the Silsila homage with her walking through the woods at the end. Looks like Alia is going to be the protagonist, the one with the secret that makes love impossible and blah blah. Very cool, especially compared with Karan’s last film in which Ranbir was the end all be all.
And then we get the trailer! It’s a fun trailer that also lays out most of the plot of the film. Which makes me think it’s maybe a trick? We THINK we are getting the whole plot, but there’s another layer we aren’t seeing. We get a pretty silly plot really, fast-talking over the top Punjabi boy meets proper intelligent Bengali girl, they fall in love, and to get the two very different families to agree, they decide to swap households for 3 months.
But why all the crying? Why Alia’s look of distress during the love song? Why the “Honor of the Family” kind of dialogue? This plot is more of a happy rom-com plot, not a family melodrama. So I’m thinking, we are missing something. Karan is holding one more twist for the movie itself. Could be anything from “Alia swore to the Goddess not to marry without her family’s blessing” to “Ranveer’s grandfather loved and betrayed Alia’s Grandma”.
What do you think? Oh, and yes, I will be doing my darnedest to see it first day first show!
