Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, headlined by Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt and directed by Karan Johar, was received well by the audience. Apart from being an overall entertainer, the romantic-comedy also challenged stereotypes with Tota Roy Chowdhury and Ranveer Singh’s impressive dance on Dola Re Dola. While interacting with audiences at the Pinkvilla Masterclass, KJo spoke about the path-breaking sequence.

Filmmaker Karan Johar managed to leave everyone in splits while highlighting the societal issues in RRKPK. While Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh’s acting was praised by critics and fans, the unexpected duet of Singh and actor Tota Roy Chowdhury to the song Dola Re Dola from Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Devdas got everyone talking.
During an interaction with fans at the Pinkvilla Masterclass, when Karan was lauded for idealizing the sequence for the movie, he shared that it took both the non-classical dancers months to prepare for it. KJo said, “That was a moment which was very special to me and both actors put in so much work because none of them are classic trained dancers at all. And for them to do a form of Kathak, even just for that much, and do it as best as they could. It took them two months of non-stop rehearsal. So, I’m so glad that it got the applause post that hard work.”

RRKPK was also screened at the 28th Busan International Film Festival earlier this month in the Open Cinema section.
