Little did Sanjay Leela Bhansali know that 'Dola Re Dola' in the 2002 film 'Devdas' would go on to become a hit of all times. Paro (Aishwarya Rai) and Chandramukhi (Madhuri Dixit) dance to the song's choreography while singing Devdas (Shah Rukh Khan) a song about Durga Puja. Now, two decades later, in his 2023 release, 'Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani,' Karan Johar offers the ideal tribute to SLB's timeless song.
The song appears in the movie after the break at a crucial point when Rani, played by Alia Bhatt, is not only questioning but also redefining what 'patriarchy' means for the Randhawas (Ranveer's side). Two guys enter what is usually thought of as a song designed for ladies and is admired by the LGBT community against the backdrop of the Durga pandal. A crucial scene in the movie occurs when Ranveer and the talented Tota Roy Choudhury who portrays Alia's father break into the ‘Devdas’ song.
Rocky and Chandan dance on the song again while dressed in traditional red attire. Because neither your gender nor your sexual orientation can confine the rhythm, melody, or ecstasy of dance.
Rocky was absolutely fantastic. The hero of Hindi cinema is redefined by the dance to 'Dola Re Dola' in 'Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahani,' surpassing decades of traditional heroics. Through his efforts, Ranveer Singh makes the idea of a camp hip by elevating the insane to a joyous level. Ranveer genuinely merits the loud cheers and whistles he received from the audience for this particular performance.
Only Ranveer Singh can convince kathak for men isn’t gay
Ranveer is a class apart.
Ranveer honestly deserves all the loud hooting and whistles
A minor but significant cinematic evolution.
Rocky really was rocking!!
