Kareena Kapoor Khan on 'Wicked: For Good': 'Elphaba's journey is magical, but also deeply human'

The fantasy musical 'Wicked: For Good', starring Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, had a successful run in cinemas and has now begun its streaming journey. As the film gears up to enchant Indian viewers once again, Bollywood actress and mom Kareena Kapoor Khan shared her response to the film and its emotional plot. Sharing her thoughts about the film and its message, Bebo shared, "I walked into 'Wicked: For Good' expecting a beautiful spectacle, but I walked out feeling something far more personal." Sharing her stand out moment from the film, involving the 'wicked witch', she further shared, "There’s an emotional honesty to Elphaba’s journey that really stayed with me - it’s magical, but also deeply human, the kind of film that lingers long after it ends." A continuation of the 2024 blockbuster, the film, currently streaming on JioHotstar, delves deeper into its expansive world of Oz, blending music, magic and emotional storytelling. The film takes fans down the yellow brick road to share the origins of the tale that sent Dorothy, the Tin Man and Scarecrow on a hunt to kill the Wicked Witch of the West. The movie was majorly snubbed at the Oscars last month, receiving zero nominations despite its predecessor earning 10 nominations in 2025. Meanwhile, at the box office, the film earned a lifetime collection of USD 537 million worldwide against a USD 150 million budget. Meanwhile, the first part of the franchise was a massive commercial success, grossing over USD 758.7 million worldwide. The two-part 'Wicked' franchise thus exceeded USD 1 billion combined total, making it one of the most successful musical franchises.
