Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani - KJo's Return to Form? But When Was He Ever Gone? #092

Queen is Dead - A Film, TV and Culture Podcast

In our second (!) episode that's on all things Karan Johar, Dhruv is joined by returning KJo-Stan Jasmin A. Singh (@jasssipinkman) and a brand new card-holding member of the party, Aryan (@aryantalksfilm), to discuss Karan Johar's latest film that's (to our surprise/shock) being liked by everyone. We reiterate what everyone loved -- Ranveer Singh, his chemistry with Alia Bhatt, and the film's status as a "corrective" to Johar's filmography. But we also try to make a case for what's potentially lost in this KJo-directed film that shone so brightly in his 2000s films that RRKPK wants to update.

Listen to this spoiler-filled episode to hear unexpected amounts of K3G gushing, KJo appreciation outside of RRKPK, and the cultural importance of his Big Bollywood Family Melodrama brand.
