ROCKSTAR a film by Imtiaz Ali was well narrated story of a Artist, his passion towards Music OnScreen, simultaneously a love story of Jordan - the Rockstar.
The original one-liner with which the movie starts “a painful heartbreak gets out the real artist inside you” goes for a complete toss by the end.
Boy & girl in the film bond over soft-porn cinema "Jangli Jawani", country liquor, dancing in cheap bars, Ranbir's jokes, ride on a bike … are the only entertaining parts in the whole movie. Soon after, the girl is married off to some NRI, the boy is thrown out of his house here stars the struggle for the Rockstar in the movie.
Jordan’s passion for music made him popular ‘bad boy of music’ with his guitar in the hand asking for ‘Saddaa Haaq’, but inside somewhere there is lonely person who is trying to share his loneliness with his friends but the friends are shown quit busy taking photos with him as he is most popular Antique piece for them.
Ranbir’s cloths, style, attitude, is the biggest attraction in the movie. Music by A. R. Rahman is as usual best. Appearance by Shammi Kapoor and some precious moment from the Shammiji’s movie was very pleasureful for me.
After watching Rockstar only I can remember is Ranbir Kapoor, his transformation of Delhi youth Janardan Jhakar - to - JJ - to - world famous rock star Jordan, and songs ‘Sadda Haaq’, ‘Katiya Karu’ & ‘Jo Bhi Main’. Actress Nargis Fakhri (Heer Kaul) was unacknowledged. Co-actor Aditi Rao Hydari (Television Reporter) was good with her character in the movie.
Somewhere the movie after interval is dragged & was boring due to repeating of senses. From my point of view end was really undesirable.
One should watch movie only for Ranbir Kapoor - The Rockstar.
