It’s glitz, glamour, grandeur and unabashed celebration of love in the Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahaani teaser that shows a sari-clad Alia Bhatt romancing Ranveer Singh in the snow — scenes reminiscent of the ’90s and early 2000 hits from filmmaker Karan Johar.
Dropped by the makers on Tuesday, the one-minute-16-second-long teaser promises a wholesome family entertainment. Karan, who is celebrating the 25th anniversary of his directorial debut Kuch Kuch Hota Hai this year, seems to have gone all out in terms of scale in his latest venture.

The teaser of Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahaani doesn’t have a single dialogue. Instead, the song Tum Kya Mile plays in the background in Arijit Singh’s voice.

The teaser shows the two falling for each other and ends with their eventual conflict.
Jaya Bachchan also features in the teaser. We get a glimpse of Shabana Azmi reading a book, while Dharmendra exudes an effusive charm. There are visuals of a grand Durga Puja, too, in the teaser.
