Hii!! Just wanted to let you know I very much appreciate your posts about bengali culture and mythology :)

Btw, what other bengali books do you read? I'm big fan of Sukumar Ray (the whole Ray family honestly>>), i also love feluda among other things. I'd love to discuss bengali literature with you <3

First of all thank you so muchh :D

I have always been a fan of literature and mythology so I try to dig up as much as I can hehe

I have read some Chhoto Golpo by Rabindranath Thakur, he's my absolute favourite, my Gurudev. I have the Golpo Guchho, though I haven't complete read all of them till now, I plan to do very soon. Poems I've read a lot I guess I forgot, I know the story of Chokher Bali through movies and stuff, mom won't buy me that now cause I am too young for that she says. I LOVE LOVE LOVE rabindrasangeet trust me.

I have the Raj Kahini by Abanindranath Thakur in my to read list actually, I will read that once I complete the novel series I am reading currently. Cannot forget Khirer Putul, it was actually what my school did in my class 6th fest that was too memorable for me...

Other than that and Abol Tabol – I LITERALLY HAD ALL THE POEMS MEMORIZED AS A TODDLER – till now my bengali literature reach is not very much actually sadly... Though I do keep all my old school books and they have some great poems and stories in them.

But to ACTUALLY read, sadly I would have to get more books, which I plan to do very soon..

I have read the Chander Pahar by Bibhutibhushan Bandyopadhyay (the movie was bad but I did enjoy it as a child) and Aranyak I've only read a bit, it was in my school textbook I loved that and will read the entire thing oneday. but Pather Panchali I've read a bit, in a book called Aam Aatir Bhepu, – it was it also in my school syllabus – though I'd love to read someday, I have watched the movies OFCOURSE.

I have read some of Upendra Kishore Ray Choudhary too, like Banor Rajputro or Tuntunir Golpo. I read his Cheleder Ramayan too (that was the first ever Ramayan I ever read). Gupi Gayen Bagha Bayen, I've only watched the movies.

AND DON'T GET ME STARTED ON PANDOB GOYENDA. MY GOD I LOVE THAT SO MUCH. Bilu was my first ever crush ngl lol.. I still love him.

But sadly I haven't read any of them, including Feluda and Byomkesh Bakshi. My knowledge in them only goes till the movies and shows. I watched those ssoftoons animation Pandob Goyenda and Gopal Bhar – ANOTHER THING I ABSOLUTELY ADORE – I still have those DVDS but I broke my laptop (don't ask me but it was funny T_T) so I have to wait now till I can watch them again.

And other than that, I am an ABSOLUTE SUCKER for Thakumar Jhuli, like I love them so much. I can talk about them for hours.

I would love it, if you have some good suggestions for what I should read.

And I would love it even more to be able to talk to someone about Bengali literature and stuff.. even mythology because I am a sucker for that too lol..

The Inhumans and Other Stories: A Selection of Bengali Science Fiction edited and translated by Bodhisattva Chattopadhyay brings to print a previously untranslated, iconic Bengali sci fi novella from 1935: The Inhumans by Hemendrakumar Roy, a satire that has never gone out of print in its original language but has never been translated despite its well-earned place in the Radium Age of science fiction. Chattopadhyay adds three other early short stories as a bonus. Together, we get a collection of excellent classic sci fi with a non-Western perspective.

The Inhumans is a strange novella, featuring some classics of the early sci fi genre—story within a story, secrets in the predatory jungles of Africa, science's potential to over-reach—but with a uniquely anti-colonial undertone. The story is at turns absurd, funny, and scary as our narrator comes face-to-face with a secret civilization of "advanced" human beings hidden in the African wilderness. As for the short stories, they're a wonderful mix of myth and science, magic and sci fi, that I really enjoyed. Fans of classic, early sci fi will enjoy this, but so will most sci fi readers, and I'm glad that more classics that aren't originally in English are finally becoming more widespread and accessible.

Now the truth is out about Krow I can send these!

Kicking myself for walking past clues and dismissing my hunch. I’d even written up stuff about snake worship in India to explore the possibility of Krow being associated with an animal in a religious/mystical way (I forget if I actually sent it).

And I suggested a naga Halloween costume last year! 

In my coffee shop story (Double Shot) Gabby said she’d sooner trust a snake than Krow?

Also in my story about Vetala!Krow… him being held at bay by the hypnotic playing of a temple flute? Like a snake charmer? *wheeze*

(Kicking myself for not using the Bengali version of the word - kôruṇa.)

Also the monster/mythical creature that I thought Vetala!Krow kind of suited was called the Nagaraja.

From Vampire the Masquerade/White Wolf, this is a clan of vampires with Indian lore that are cursed to eat flesh rather than the traditional blood. (I haven’t played that game but thought this was cool.)

Yes, yes we can discuss.

You had gotten it pretty much right on the money a number of times, but I was trying to be coy and not give it away too soon lol.

Everything you note here in this ask, ye, I remember. Especially the line of "Gabby would rather trust a snake than Krow: I was like "...Krowspiracy knows. They HAVE to. Aaaaaaa" lmao.

When you were straying from the Naga I was like "nooooo Krowspiracy you have it right I just don't wanna reveal it yet!"

Nagarjuna, I don't know this I'll have to research. O:

Oh that's funny. I'm actually more familiar with White Wolfs OTHER vampire game, Vampire the Requiem. For Vetela!Krow I was mainly trying to scrounge up anything I could on like... vampiric creatures found in Indian folklore, and I swear I read somewhere Vetela (or another being I drew inspiration from?) consumed flesh too, so added that for Vetela!Krow.

Back when I binged glee in covid I used to bother my then friend, now ex about all my glee opinions and stuff and we somehow made this running joke that sebastian was a brown boy because why else would someone have so little chill about a school extracurricular right?

It started as a joke, and it's little more than crack even now but the thought of a biracial seb (sebu as we called him) is still funny and it endeared him to me. Through him we'd go on to make fantastical stories about the universe in which he was half brown. I don't know if I need to mention I'm brown too but yeah

The lore went as follows Sebastian's father Arshad Smythe was a second generation south asian immigrant who studied law in France where he met Mrs. Smythe.

we made him the most run of the mill brown dad imaginable and we loved him so much because of it , he was obviously just based on our fathers and uncles and brothers. The people we loved, who loved us in return, the people whose dad jokes and overbearing old timer antics we rolled our eyes at.

Mr and Mrs Smythe alternated living between France and Ohio, where Mr. Smythes childhood home was. It was a dilapidated suburban duplex complete with ugly beige carpeting. But Mr. Smythe just couldn't bear to part with it so he never sold the house or moved out. He would buy his son the best cars and enroll him in the best schools. He'd spend on everything else but he just couldn't change anything about the house his mother had lived in.

Sebastian and his mother understood. She had been important to them too. Samantha Smythe remembered all the times she sat on the floor of this house so the older woman could rub coconut oil into her hair. Sebastian remembered the spicy pickles she cooked in her kitchen, how good they tasted. So they understood.

Burt Hummel was an old friend of Mr. Smythes. He'd babysit Sebastian every once in a while, Santana too. So Kurt, Sebastian and Santana were all friends that got upto fun shenanigans in this world.

Sebastian had a cat called Maribelle, who scratched and bit everyone except for their trio and Mr. Smythe, she was also a mafia boss and an interdimensional/ divine immortal being who had a life of crime on the weekends. He had found her as a stray and begged his dad to let him keep keep her. He did albeit begrudgingly as all dads do, and then quickly became best friends with her as all dads do. I drew cartoons of Kurt and Sebastian as preteens chilling on beach chairs with sunglasses on, in the front yard of Sebastian's grandma's house. Mr Smythe , a portly gentleman with a half bald head with borders of dark hair lining the sides, wearing thick framed glasses would yell at them about their homework to which they'd reply "It's Sunbathe Saturday, Dad!"

Mr Smythe would then grumble and pick up Maribelle who had been in the process of burying a man, unbeknownst to him.

We had so many really specific just brown people things jokes about Sebastian, like him putting 'manja', a type of liquid glass used in competitive kite racing in South Asia in the rock salt slushie. Just him in general being really excited about sharp drinks after his brown cousin back in his home country show him the ropes.

Him being the kind of typical annoying uncultured highschool boy, ' kamla', who hung around coffee shops all day.

Him challenging his father to a game of cards at age eleven by making Mr. Smythe promise if he won he would have to love him unconditionally. Just as he pulled out the last ace he yelled out 'I'm gay but you love unconditionally no take backs!" And ran up the stairs yelling "no take backs!" As santana and kurt blocked mr smythes entrance to the stairway by popping ill timed party poppers.

If Seb ever got into any scuffles with them during play time he'd fire off a flurry of mixed French and Bengali curse causing Kurtana to exchange confused glances like, did you get any of that ?

His early s3 backstory was literally Mr Smythe being a little bit of a tiger parent. But then when he breaks down because of the Dave thing his dad makes amends saying "I want you to be the best at everything seb, and that includes being a person."

The scandals fix it in this universe was Maribelle scratching Blaines eyes out when she overhears about it from kurt and seb discussing it.

I figured later that Mr Smythe must have taken his wife's name because it's hardly a brown name even in Christian circles, to which my ex had replied you only realised now?

There's really no words in English to properly translate the jokes and their cultural significance to us. Parts of brown seb universe bled into my shitposts and fics but I could never part with him fully. Because the world wasn't ready for or interested in him. Since then I've graduated college, I've lost access to the Instagram account we used to text about this world in, and I've lost my ex and I've lost that time in my life, Brown Seb only exists in my memory now. So now maybe it's time to give him to the world so he exists outside of it too. Idk if there are Desi gleeks out there who get the jokes, but til then this post is just for me to remember

[sociopathicghost]

Saw my cousin posting a story where she was pouting, and called her a shuor (pig) and goru (cow) because pouting in selfies/pictures should be banned.

top 5 non DC characters?

OOOH LETS GOOOOO

Top 5 foods!

Thai red curry is such a comfort food for me omg. I mean I love Thai food in general (esp shrimp Tom Yum Soup) because it’s like not TOO spicy for my whitewashed Bengali ass, but it’s sooooo good and flavorful

Caprese Salad, or even caprese sandwiches. Summer vibes iykyk, and omg I love basil. Pesto is also my fav condiment (if it counts) so all of that combined is 💯

Aloo samosas! Esp when my grandma makes them homemade. We use flour + water to make the dough, then fill it with spiced potatoes and fry them. Not the healthiest lmao but def my fav cultural food!

Shawarma!!! SUCH a comfort food omg, I have so many good memories tied with it, and also it’s an easy food solution bc it’s always halal lol

Tteokbokki (korean rice cakes)!! I love Korean food, and this is 100x better than ramen I promise 😫 Its SO GOOD

Top 5 non-dc characters!!

1. AANG

HE MEANS EVERYTHING TO ME!!!! 🥺 I love him so so so much!!!! He’s always been my fave in ATLA, he’s so sweet and kind and GOOD, he’s not perfect but he tries his best and he lost everything and he’s been robbed of his loved ones and culture but he doesn’t give up GRAHHHH

2. TOHRU

MY ANGEL. MY DARLING. MY BABY TOHRU. I love her so much!!! I’m not exaggerating when I say Tohru improved my mental health more than therapy ever could. She makes me want to be a better person lol and i know that sounds crazy but fruits basket fans know what I mean 😭🫶 Heartwrenching in the best way possible. She’s so selfless and compassionate.

3. DIANE

UGH Diane is so relatable and real, and she’s probably the fictional character i’m most similar to. I loved her story in the show so much, and I really love how 3-dimensional she feels.

4. Billy Butcher

Okay no more nice characters lmao, we’re going to the opposite of the spectrum. THIS MAN IS SO FUCKED UP 😭😭😭 but he was also my favorite part of The Boys fr. I find him interesting in like a social experiment way lmfao. He’s also so funny in the worst way, and I really love the chaotic element he drives into the show, even if it ends up horribly.

5. Aragorn

I know what you’re thinking, Zaina why are there two white men in your top 5 😭 I was trying to think of a good mix of media or else it would be all anime. Anyways…I love pr much everybody in LoTR, but he’s special to me and he always has been.

What Makes These Bengali Heroes So Brave?

Learn about the Bengali language heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country in this fascinating video. Discover the stories of bravery and courage that have shaped history! You know, it’s funny how language can spark such intense emotions. I was scrolling through the news the other day and came across this incident in the Kolkata Metro. A woman confronted a fellow passenger for speaking in Bangla instead of Hindi, claiming, “You’re not in Bangladesh!” It got me thinking about how we often tie language to identity, culture, and even belonging. Here’s the thing: language is a bridge, not a barrier. It connects us, yet it can also divide us if we let it. Yes, Hindi is widely spoken in India, but so are countless regional languages. Each one tells a story, carries history, and reflects the rich tapestry of our nation. So, why do we feel the need to police language? Shouldn’t we celebrate our diversity instead? Let’s embrace our differences and create a space where everyone feels welcome to express themselves, no matter the language.

I just thought of something. Krow doesn't know that he's also Bengali, but apparently Bengali people can somewhat tend to be shorter and maybe rounder? This isn't meant to racially stereotype or fetishize and may not be true. Just anecdotally some people think there is a tendency in some regions to be a little shorter.

So if this is at all credible... Krow could have inherited his height and body type from his father's side and might even somewhat resemble him despite possibly never meeting/not seeing each other since Krow was a baby.

Krow's heritage was hidden/taken from him but it's in his bones. He carries his dad and his history with him. Maybe Krow even sees his dad in the mirror without knowing it.

I'm also wondering about other traits... They could just be for fun but it makes me wonder if the possibly supernatural glowing eyes, the pointed teeth and the yandere nature came from somewhere. 🧐

On the subject of the supernatural, I have some very specific Vampire Krow god/mantra guesses for when you have enough time to read it.

That all is very relevant too. The 64 arts (Kalā) and Hindu religious observances look to be a huge part of Indian culture, and Krow practices a fair few of them unconsciously. Despite what happened who he is never left him.

Ooh that is true. Krow would not be aware of his Bengali heritage either. Fun fact, I did not know that about Bengali people. After reading this ask I did a quick look around the internet, and general consensus is that, on average, Bengali people are amongst the shortest people in the world. How fitting for Krow then to be rather small.

Now you saying that about his father, I am now thinking (and applying it to canon) of him looking in the mirror, perhaps pulling his hair back or just imagining it shorter, if he is looking at a younger image of his father in the mirror or not.

Funny you say how he carries his heritage in his bones. I'll give a little crumb about how much that sentence carries weight in more ways than most of you realize. :3c

I will not confirm or deny about the eyes, the teeth, the yandere nature either being for fun or coming specifically from somewhere. I'll give another crumb; I have my reasons for why Krow has these traits. The question is: did I put them in just for my own amusement? Or did I put them in for specific reasoning? Story/character reasons? More details may be revealed in the future.

(I am always down to read your theories Krowspiracy. Always.)

How to learn Bengali at Home by yourself?

The lilting strains of Rabindra Sangeet weave a spell, or perhaps the allure of Bengal's vibrant culture beckons. Whatever your reason for wanting to learn Bengali, your home is the perfect springboard for this linguistic adventure. Fear not, language explorer, for this guide will equip you with the tools to navigate the path to Bengali fluency.

1. Mastering the Musical Script: Unveiling the Beauty of Bangla

Bengali's unique script, Bangla, with its graceful curves and logical structure, may appear intimidating at first. But fret not! Approach it like a captivating puzzle waiting to be unraveled. Begin by familiarizing yourself with the consonant and vowel sounds, devoting a portion of each day to writing practice. Remember, consistent practice is the key to etching those beautiful characters into your memory, and who knows, you might even develop beautiful penmanship in the process!

2. Befriending the Building Blocks: Building Your Bengali Vocabulary

Now that you can proudly write your name in Bengali (quite the feat!), it's time to expand your linguistic circle. Focus on acquiring everyday words and phrases first. Greetings, introductions, and expressing basic needs – these are the essential building blocks of conversation. Utilize flashcards, language learning apps, or create your own visual memory aids to solidify these new friends in your mind. Think of it as building a vibrant vocabulary village!

3. Tune into the Melody: Cultivating Pronunciation Prowess

Bengali is a language that sings. Mastering pronunciation is not just about being understood, but also about appreciating the inherent musicality of the language. Embrace the abundance of audio resources online – movies, songs, podcasts – and mimic what you hear. Don't be afraid to let loose and embrace the funny sounds at first; fluency starts with shedding inhibitions and embracing the joy of making new sounds!

4. Grammar Gems: Unveiling the Language's Secrets

As you progress on your journey, delve into the fascinating world of Bengali grammar. While it might seem complex initially, understanding sentence structure and verb conjugations will unlock a deeper comprehension of the language. There's a wealth of online grammar resources and textbooks available to guide you on this enriching exploration.

5. From Text to Context: Reading for Comprehension

Once you've grasped the fundamentals, it's time to explore Bengali in its written form. Start with children's books or comics that have simple illustrations to provide context. Gradually graduate to short stories, articles, or even Bengali translations of your favorite books. Imagine the thrill of unraveling a captivating story in a new language!

6. Speaking Up: Finding Your Bengali Voice

The magic of language truly comes alive when you use it! Don't be afraid to speak Bengali, even if it's just to yourself at first. Practice common phrases, narrate your day in Bengali, or find a language exchange partner online. The more you speak, the more comfortable and confident you'll become. Remember, even toddlers babble before they speak fluently!

7. Embrace the Culture: Immersing Yourself in the Bengali World

Learning a language is a gateway to a new culture. Immerse yourself in Bengali movies, music, and even delve into the culinary delights of Bengal! Surrounding yourself with the language in its natural habitat will not only accelerate your learning but also cultivate a deeper appreciation for the culture. Imagine the satisfaction of whipping up a delicious Bengali dish while conversing with a local in their native tongue!

8. Celebrate the Journey: The Sweet Rewards of Language Learning

The path to language fluency is a marathon, not a sprint. There will be days of frustration, but there will also be moments of pure joy when you understand a conversation or read a sentence flawlessly. Embrace the journey, celebrate your milestones, no matter how small they may seem, and most importantly, have fun!

9. Conclusion: Your Bengali Adventure Beckons

So, are you ready to embark on your exciting Bengali adventure? With dedication, the right resources, and a sprinkle of enthusiasm, you'll be conversing with the locals and singing Rabindra Sangeet like a seasoned pro in no time.

Karan Johar’s “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani”: A Jumbled Up Love Story!

I am back with my Bollywood reviews, and this time it’s about a unique love story! Opposites attract! A Punjabi young man falls for a Bengali young woman. So, now what do the two love birds do? They have to convince their families who are deadly opposed to their marriage owing to their cultural differences. And how do they do it? To know that, visit your nearest theatres and watch producer and director Karan Johar’s “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani” which was released on July 28, 2023. Introducing Ranveer Singh As Rocky The "Heart Throb"! Cameo: Varun Dhawan, Ananya Pandey, Janhvi Kapoor, And Sara Ali Khan! https://youtu.be/0oEIQKV5akQ A happy-go-lucky and attention-seeking young dude Rocky Randhawa (Ranveer Singh), the grandson of billionaire Dhanlakshmi Randhawa (Jaya Bachchan), falls for a young Bengali female journalist, Rani Chatterjee (Alia Bhatt). Their meeting was interesting. Actually, Rocky’s grandfather Kanwal Lund (Dharmendra) had fallen in love with Rani’s grandmother Jamini Chatterjee (Shabana Azmi) when they had met during a poetic event back in the year 1978. After that, Rocky’s grandfather had fallen down the stairs when he was young and since then he had been paralyzed in a wheelchair. He always used to chant Jamini’s name, even before his wife, Dhanlakshmi Randhawa. Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani (2023): Featuring Ranveer Singh As Rocky Randhawa And Alia Bhatt As Rani Chatterjee! https://youtu.be/HZAyjBMTiaM Rocky planned to unite his grandfather with the love of his life in his old age. That’s how he contacted Rani and as the love story of the two old birds, Kanwal and Jamini, flourished, so did the love story of the two young love birds, Rocky and Rani. After seeing Jamini, Kanwal’s paralysis vanished and he started dating her! But whatever was going on, was it actually right? Kanwal had his wife and he was secretly dating Jamini, which was actually wrong in the eyes of Dhanlakshmi and her son Tijori Randhawa (Aamir Bashir). If you ask me, this could be wrong in the eyes of everybody. So, what if they were old? After all, it was extramarital! This led Dhanlakshmi and her son Tijori to despise Rani even more, as they thought she was behind all this. Now, Rani was a girl with a modern outlook. Even she had a dislike for Rocky’s family members. So, she came up with a plan which she told him. Rani’s plan was that she and Rocky would switch their families for three months and see if they could be compatible with each other’s families or not. That meant Rani would stay with Rocky’s family in their house for three months and Rocky would do the same by staying with her family in her house during that time. This would also help Rani understand whether Rocky’s family would accept her in the future or not. https://youtu.be/GfOHTrFkdTo But as their fate would have it, the stubborn and headstrong Dhanlaskshmi and her arrogant aging son Tijori, cooked up plans to drive away Rani from their house as well as from Rocky’s life. Will Rocky and Rani’s love flourish among so many hurdles? Watch the movie to get to know that! Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani (2023) Official Trailer: https://youtu.be/6mdxy3zohEk The Good: For decades, Bollywood has shown in its movies that certain guys can get all the women they want. Rani had a colleague named Sumen Mitra (Namit Das) who liked her and wanted to marry her, but no! In spite of Sumen giving her everything that he could, she had to fall for the “bad boy”, Rocky! Rocky’s funny attitude, muscular physique, and macho style had impressed her at first glance. In the scene where they first met, and Rocky left, she was laughing aloud! I truly believe that if you can make a woman smile or laugh after meeting you, she's fallen for you! In Hindi, it's a popular saying, "Hasi To Fasi!" It has been revealed after studying the psychology of women that women mostly prefer the “bad guy” over the “good guy”. To be honest, I was actually feeling sorry for the poor guy, Sumen. I felt pity at how Rocky and Rani were both trying to shove him off to have their own “private space” with each other while he was accompanying Rani. https://youtu.be/rFOwpX7y-rw There were some hilarious and “WTF” moments in it. There were scenes where Rocky’s sister was getting rejected by multiple men who were visiting her home with their parents for an arranged marriage with her. And she had the habit of speaking the wrong phrases, which turned out to be vulgar. In another scene, when the paralyzed Kanwal Lund (Rocky’s grandfather) met the love of his life Jamini (Rani’s grandmother), he suddenly got up from his wheelchair, started singing for her, and to the amazement of every family member of Rocky and Rani, he caught hold of her and planted a kiss on her lips. Seeing Dharmendra romancing at this age, was hilarious in itself. After all, he is 87 years old! The cinematography was pleasant and the sets and backgrounds were very much visually appealing. Shooting commenced at various breathtaking locations of Mumbai, Delhi, and Jammu and Kashmir in India and also at international locations like Moscow, Russia. Moreover, the songs and their choreography were amazing! Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani happens to be a musical drama and the songs, which comprised several Bollywood retro songs, took up most of the screen time which stretched the screenplay by a good amount. The Bad: If you think that I will praise this movie like all other critics are doing, you are mistaken! This three-hour-long movie is as boring as hell! I mean, there’s nothing new to the story! It’s just a young man and woman of opposite cultures who are falling in love and stretching the screenplay for a good long three hours. The plot is too ordinary and there’s nothing new to it. Movies like this have been shown for decades in Bollywood. https://youtu.be/taRBVfDRukY While watching this movie, I was looking at my watch every now and then because the plot was absolutely predictable. After all, Rocky and Rani would unite at the end and it would be a sure-shot happy ending. The three-hour screenplay was overloaded with so much melodrama about family arguments, humour, and emotions that it got very frustrating. There are too many lip-locking scenes in Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani. Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt have fired up the screen with their intense smooches. They just can't seem to get enough of each other! Both have bored me so much with their mindless melodrama and cheap dialogues that I would like to never see their movies ever again! Do you call this a family movie that you can watch with your children? I don’t, but maybe someone like Karan Johar does! I genuinely cannot praise the performances of any actors in this movie. The supporting cast, Jaya Bachchan as Rocky’s grandmother, Dharmendra as Rocky’s grandfather, Aamir Bashir as Rocky’s father, Shabana Azmi as Rani’s grandmother, and Tota Roy Chowdhary as Rani’s father, have indeed given their best. However, the screenplay itself was filled with so much monotony that their efforts were overshadowed. https://youtu.be/87JIOAX3njM To sum up, Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani is so bundled up with romance, futile humor, and some extreme family emotions that everything feels jumbled up into mediocre porridge. And oh, the editing! I mean, how on Earth can Karan Johar think that this so-called “family drama” can be three hours long? Had it not been for the cheesy slow patches, boring melodrama, and too many retro Bollywood songs playing in this movie, it could have been very well reduced to a little more than two hours. https://youtu.be/QXJyMpxd210 The Verdict: So, it is my sincere request to you that you do not waste your hard-earned money on watching this movie. You will find many reviews online, stating that this movie is extraordinarily awesome and fantastic, and that “Ranveer and Alia have nailed it”, etc. Do not fall for them. If you really want to know the correct opinion on Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, then please go through my review only on The Movie Blog, and save your time and energy as well as your pockets! The very concept of this movie is wrong. It promotes extramarital affairs. When Kanwal was already married and was living with his wife Dhanlakshmi, it was not appropriate for him to start dating his long-lost crush Jamini, behind his wife. It was true that Kanwal was mentally unstable after falling down the stairs when he was young, but that does not justify the extramarital affair that he started pursuing with Jamini, whose abusive husband was dead. The ending is tragic which shows Kanwal's death. Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani can be addressed as misogynistic as criticizes the mentality of modern women. Rani initially had looked upon Rocky's love for her to be just lust. But of course, realization always happens much later. And talking about women empowerment, the entire second half of this movie is about that only!    Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani (2023): Behind The Scenes With Karan Johar! https://youtu.be/iUqEeTPl8x8 Talking about this melodramatic movie, the entire theater hall was empty. Only I and three to four other people were sitting at the night show, from 9 PM to 12 Midnight, watching this movie. Those few people had left even before the climax scene happened at 12 midnight, and I was left alone in the hall. S Read the full article
