Mumbai: The much-awaited film Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, starring Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt, has been leaked online in HD quality. The film, directed by Karan Johar, was released on 28 July 2023 in cinemas across India. However, within hours of its release, the film was available for illegal download on various websites and torrent sites.
Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani is a romantic comedy family drama that revolves around the love story of Rocky Randhawa, a loud and flamboyant Punjabi man, and Rani Chatterjee, an intellectual Bengali journalist. The film also features veteran actors Dharmendra, Jaya Bachchan, Shabana Azmi, and Tota Roy Chowdhury in pivotal roles. The film showcases the clash between progressiveness and tradition, as Rocky and Rani decide to live with each other’s families for three months before getting married.
The film has received positive reviews from critics and audiences alike, who have praised the chemistry between Singh and Bhatt, the performances of the supporting cast, the music by Pritam, and the direction by Johar. The film has also been appreciated for its humor, dialogue, and social commentary. The film has been produced by Dharma Productions and Viacom18 Studios.
The leak of the film online is a huge setback for the makers and the distributors, who had hoped to recover the high production cost of the film through theatrical revenues. The film had a budget of ₹160 crore and was expected to do well at the box office, given the star power of Singh and Bhatt and the popularity of Johar’s films. However, piracy may affect the collections of the film in the coming days.
The makers of the film have not yet commented on the leak. However, they had earlier urged the fans to watch the film only in theatres and avoid piracy. They had also released a statement saying that they had taken all possible measures to prevent any leak of the film online.
