According to the production house, “Rocky Aur Rani…” has added Rs 13.5 crore on its tenth day of release and the total gross has reached Rs 105.08 crore.

In a lengthy Instagram post, Johar thanked the entire cast and crew of the film, his first in seven years after 2016’s ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’.
Ahead of the release of “Rocky Aur Rani…”, the filmmaker said he was a bundle of nerves.
“I felt like I was going to need an IV at any moment and I was close to collapsing!! The question I asked myself was is 7 years a long time? Or anxiety built up over the past 3 years.
“Or the fact that we live in an ambiguous box office era. Whatever the real reason I was a faithful mess! But on Friday, July 28th, I felt nothing but gratitude, validation, and sheer joy. This film is truly a product of team energy and love (sic),” wrote Johar.
The director, known for ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’, ‘Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham…’ and ‘My Name Is Khan’, said he will write a ‘separate love letter’ for his Rocky and Rani (Ranveer and Alia).
“…I mean you are the most essential part of this prem kahaani. You both not only made the film what it is, but also gave me so much energy from the love you gave me. I love you to the moon and back and I hope and pray I can work with you again soon,” he added.
