Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani came out as a winner even after facing tough competition by two Hollywood releases, Oppenheimer and Barbie.

The film follows the love story of Rocky Randhawa (played by Ranveer Singh) and Rani Chatterjee ( played by Alia Bhatt), who belong to different backgrounds and cultures. Rocky and Rani who then live with each other's families to determine whether or not they get along with them gives the film a rollercoaster ride. The film is written by Ishita Moitra, Sumit Roy, and Shashank Khaitan.

After seven years, Karan Johar made his feature filmmaking debut with RARKPK. The director hadn't helmed a feature-length movie since 2016's Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, despite producing a few shorts for Netflix anthologies.
