Karan Johar's Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani is a film that has a strong repeat value. Marking the directorial comeback of the filmmaker who completes 25 years in the film industry, the rom-com headlined by Dharmendra, Jaya Bachchan, Shabana Azmi, Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt released on July 28. One of the key highlights of the film was Dharmendra and Shabana's romance.
In a poignant sequence, the veteran actors are rekindling their romance through the medium of yesteryear songs like O Saathi Chal, Yeh Sham Mastani, Aaj Mausam Bada Beimaan Hai and Ek Pyar ka Nagma Hai. However, the entire medley has been trimmed for the theatrical version. Probably owing to the runtime which originally exceeded over 3 hours. Now, Saregama Caravan has officially released the uncut version on YouTube.
Two songs, Hum Tum Ek Kamre Mein and Aao Na, Gale Lagao Na, were trimmed out of the theatrical version. In the modern-day rendition of the song from Alia's late father-in-law Rishi Kapoor's film Bobby, the actress can be seen dressed in a yellow printed chiffon saree. Her chemistry with Ranveer was sizzling.
