Anybody else feels like Rocky and Rani was too preachy and fake?
So, I watched Rocky and Rani and there was something really off about the movie despite it being technically not bad. I can't pinpoint it exactly but I think it felt like trying very hard at convincing us to take different messages but the execution was very bad. For example, 1- Rani being shown as a strong woman in the beginning is too performative. Rani finding Rocky hot was also fake. It literally felt like the director saying that "look, we are so progressive. We have flipped the gender roles." 2- That scene with Rani's mother trying blouses on Rocky was too cringe. I get the message but the execution was bad. 3- The scene with Rocky and his father-in-law dancing was once again a bit cringe. 4- Rocky and Rani trying to have their grandparents meet was very weird, considering the grandfather is still married. 5- Similarly, the story with Rocky's sister also felt very cliche. It's not like I actually disagree with any of the messages the movie was trying to send. But, the execution of them felt more cringey than it should have been. Acting-wise, Ranveer did better than the material he was given to. Alia felt like the same actress from mid-2010s with no growth or subtlety in her performance. I think she didn't grow after Raazi. Supporting characters tried their best but it seemed like a waste of a very strong cast.1
