Karan Johar has got a huge blow! .

- Shishir Ramawat

- 'In the Kashmirwala song, I have copied Yash Chopra and lifted the entire set of the song 'Dola Re Dola' from Sanjay Bhansali's films.'

Karan Johar is in a daze right now. He is deeply shocked. Where did he even have such an idea? How can this happen? Is this not possible? But what has become of it, sir? Also, the film 'Raki Aur Rani Ki Premkahani' directed and produced by Karan Johar is being praised! The audience is fine, even those super loud, super strict film reviewers are praising him to their heart's content. Karan Johar is not used to his films being praised by reviewers! That's why they think I messed something up or what? How did these high-brow film critics like my film? How did this disaster happen?

Karan Johar's self-deprecating humor is killer. They laugh at themselves before others laugh. In an interview, he says, 'The only film I have directed so far, 'My Name Is Khan', which got a lot of praise, understand that 60 to 70 percent of the reviews were positive... But 'Rocky Aur Rani... 'I was shocked. People criticize that my films are all rich people, even middle class characters wear branded goods and wear designer clothes (remember, Siddharth Malhotra's role in 'Student of the Year' part-one). In my films, everyone lives in palatial houses, dances, everything is glamorous-glamorous. All this is also in 'Raki Aur Rani Ki Premkahani', yet both viewers and critics are praising the film, say it! This is something beyond my understanding!'

Be it a film line, the world of TV serials, dramas, in short, any creative field where an entire team works on a piece, there is a lot of talk of credit. Arguments and fights also happen over credit. Especially when the work is successful. Everyone wants to go sour. Someone will say that such and such an idea was mine, another will say that no, the original idea was mine, from which such and such an idea came. Karan Johar is surprisingly generous in this matter. In the video interview given to Anupama Chopra, she repeatedly praised the writers of 'Raki Aur Rani Ki Premkahani' Shashank Khaitan, Ishita Moitra and Amit Roy. Karan as a director can take legitimate credit for the way Ranveer Singh's character has been handled, but he also gives the credit to Ranveer Singh.

Karan says, 'We went to Delhi to do the rakhi of this film (Raki means going to the city or place where the shooting is planned in advance and searching for possible locations, inspecting). Actors don't have to come together to do Rakhi, but Ranveer came with us to Delhi, stayed there for a week or two. Of course, he did not come to find a location, but stayed in a hotel and met local social media influencers etc. of Delhi, traveled with them, spent time with them. Why? He wanted to closely study the language, the attitude of today's youth of Delhi. This was Ranveer's homework, his preparation for the character of Rakhi. I don't know what his process is, but he stays alone in his room for ten hours. Don't pick up my or anyone else's phone, don't even check WhatsApp messages. He internalizes the character in his own way.'

The sequence where Ranveer goes to Alia's office with his friend and meets her was shot on the first day of the film's shooting. Ranveer must have misunderstood that Ram knew, but he was preparing for another scene. After going to the set, I came to know that the introduction scene of Rocky-Rani is to be shot today. After preparing for the social science exam, what a terrible situation it is when you find out that today you have to give a science paper and not a social science paper! Ranveer's condition also became something similar. His nervousness is beyond measure. Karan says: Friend, today the scene will be shot only with the introduction, because the set has been taken, the entire team is ready. Ranveer says: Give me some time. Karan says: Even so.

Ranveer was holed up in his vanity van for four hours. After four hours, he started performing in front of the camera and Karan was satisfied: That's it, this is my raki! Ranveer got the attitude, body language of his character right on the first day of shooting. In some emotional scenes of the film, he is so immersed in his character that he seems to be operating on a completely different level than the other characters in the scene. Since there is a huge difference in the intensity of Ranveer and other actors' performances, every frame seems to be unbalanced. Ranveer has been praised the most in 'Raki Aur Rani...'. Alia's appreciation has been relatively low, but Karan doesn't fail to praise his heroine as well. He says that Ranveer's character can flourish only if Alia's reactions are perfect. After all, acting is all about reacting!

Yes, yes, I copied!

It takes both honesty and courage to unapologetically call yourself a fake. Karan says, 'See, the way we shot the song in that Kashmir - the beautiful sarees, the jackets, the snow and all that - is a direct copy of Yash Chopra. The entire set of sequences where Ranveer and Alia's father dance 'Dola Re Dola' have been lifted from Sanjay Bhansali films. There is nothing original in this set. Yes, the emotion highlighted in this song and the way the story progresses are from 'Raki Aur Rani...'.

Karan has directed a film after a long gap of seven years after 'Ay Dil Hai Mushkil'. After the beehive of nepotism created by Amany Kang Ranaut and the immortality of Sushant Singh Rajput, suddenly Karan became the 'one of the most hated man' in India. An entire army descends on social media to criticize him daily. It is not easy to maintain mental balance in such a situation. After the launch of the trailer and songs of 'Raki Aur Rani...', there was renewed controversy. After watching the trailer, everyone got the impression that this is a typical shallow masala Bollywood film. Maybe that's why Karan used to cry all day on the days when the film was about to be released. They didn't understand whether people would accept the film or make a new splash. Despite the typical Karan Joharveda in the film, fortunately the audience and critics have liked the film as a whole. Karan, Ranveer Singh who is giving Lagalgat flop films and even Bollywood has come to life!
