Rockstar

kyaa baat hai

here few things why you should not watch Rockstar Ranvir did a good job, but he looked more like a lovestar than a Rockstar. - The actress (dont know her name) should hv been in coma from the beginning of the movie ( due to her acting. she was only good at kissing n hugging ;) ) - The actress looked like a hysteria patient . - The story turned out to be just another Bollywood love story . - Music was good but not rocking - The story was going no where - Too Long - Hall was almost empty - I went out before the movie was finished (Dont know the climax, well i could guess it though ) - Came back home n slept .....

Even though the Indian film Industry releases countless big budget films every year, only once in a while there comes a movie like "Rockstar" which moves away from the usual story and casts an impression on the viewers. Imtiaz Ali has created such a masterpiece this time. His story is a fresh take on romance and pain and he has shown he is one of the best directors around. The story revolves around 2 characters Janardhan Jakhar a.k.a Jordan(Ranbir Kapoor) and Heer(Nargis Fakri) and their feelings towards each other. The special thing about this movie is that despite being a love story, the lead characters never act as the clichéd lovers..they never said "I love you" throughout the movie and still their love was so intense and powerful..The self inflicted pain of 'Jordan' is the soul of this movie and moves the audience. Ranbir has done a remarkable act and has again proved he is an exceptional actor in the film industry. His transition from the innocent and confused 'JJ' to the ruthless, shattered 'Jordan' is flawless. The audience were in awe of him throughout the movie and rightly so. The music blends with this movie perfectly and most of the time lifts the movie to higher levels. The voice of Mohit Chauhan along with the expertise of AR Rahman is just superb and this duo will be in demand for a long time. The joy, enlightenment, pain and suffering of 'Jordan' is portrayed very well through the songs. And this is one of those movies in which you feel that the songs weren't just forced in the story. Despite everything being so good there was one shortcoming, Nargis. The model turned actress had weird expressions in few scenes in her debut film. This created some funny moments in the first half but she did a convincing act post interval. One thing which the director couldn't balance was the pace..The first half was expanded into few years showing the pair's love and relationship but post interval they didn't do that, and stuck to a straight and small period with longer scenes. This gave most of the general audience an idea that it was slow. If the story in between intervals was balanced in terms of the time span, more people would have appreciated the whole movie. This an emotional, and an intense journey of a simple man who goes on a path of self destruction. A Must Watch, this movie needs deep understanding and appreciation.

Pros: Abrupt start and unfinished end,always catchy! Love,attraction,passion,pain,loss,destruction-everything in a pack. Movie includes flashbacks and frames so nicely arranged,that story always remains on track and with ease. Supporting casts are so in script,no any distraction or out of track leads. Raw footage beautifies the movie,editing is nicely done and skipped. Ranbir-Nargis chemistry is uncommonly beautiful. Songs are sung outstandingly by Mohit Chauhan and performed equally well by Ranbir.Made for each other duo. Lyrics are inseparable from situation,really well written. Cons: Nargis is overwhelmingly beautiful but utterly noob while acting. --------- Not many directors could have justified the script like Imtiaz Ali. Music couldn't have been better than by the Academy award winner A.R.Rehman,it takes you to out of world. and Ranbir Kapoor,real rockstar from the movie has shown that,he is ready to make the bollywood biggies insecure. Outstanding movie!!!above the average of bollywood.

This guy, Ranbir Kapoor, can't act. He has one facial expression that alternates between a retarded or smelling a gas leak for most part of the movie. He is not even good looking, in fact bordering on ugly as compared to Abishek Bachchan and Akshay Kumar. I have no idea what the directors see in him to waste a movie with him. The story is contrived and ridiculous. The music of A.R. Rahman is the saving grace for this movie that has been overrated-as usual from RK fans. The debut actress is pathetic. She will do lot of justice to the art of cinema..by staying away from it. This is another movie, that shows, that the Indian film industry will never recuperate from the sorry state that is in right now. The newer actors have no clue about acting, nor have they inherited the acting genes. These actors are the worst looking and worst actors in recent times. The movie is about going thru pain to achieve good music..it would have been good story, only if it was written well and acted well but with the latter day Lila and Majnu's, it is a pathetic and a disjointed jargon. The direction is half baked and primitive.The dialogs are written by a high school drop out (are you dying? or when are you dying!) For heaven sake shape up or ship out. This movie sucks big time and waste of time for any one looking for good cinema. Rating of 3 for the music and supposed to be the last appearance of Shammi Kapoorji on the celluloid. The director should find a day job as gaffer since he knows the inside out of film making.

Imtiaz Ali tries a Jim Morrison with an Indian back-up story to add it all up. But when the back-up story takes a free-float equation with horrible acting from the female lead even rock-n-roll, sex, or drugs won't help the story to take a flight. The starting sequence takes a tremendous leap and sets everything on fire. From there the movie leaps to a flashback. The flashback is a sine wave to be precise where crest is when Ranbir fills the screen and trough is when Nargis takes over. Post-interval the director gets a grip on things but still falters here and there but in the end gives up for regular rom-com commercialization. Even the sequences where Ranbir goes all crazy and shouting I just can't understand how he must have reached that point when the relationship that he had with Nargis showcased in a shallow manner. The only factors that makes this movie watchable is Ranbir Kapoor and music By ARR. Ranbir shows great maturity in some of the sequences. But I feel he has more potential.

How easy is it for someone to be a rockstar? is it? go get your heartbroken and you will be a rockstar? the film makers had worked hard on everything(music,casting(of course not the actress), cinematography, direction) but they didntt work hard on a good story. i was getting confused with every hour of the movie. second half is the issue with most of the film makers.It gave many unanswered questions. there were too many songs. 2-3 songs would have been avoided. i did not take anything from the movie except a few songs. the story could have been a little more tight.the movie was so boring that i had to play a few games on my mobile in the middle of the movie. i would have enjoyed the movie that is what i hoped for.

I can see from the high IMDB rating and all the positive reviews that a lot of folks absolutely love "Rockstar". Yet, despite everything, I didn't enjoy the movie much at all. To me, it seemed very cliched and I had a hard time caring about the leading man and his 'plight'. Jordan (Ranbir Kapoor) is a nice guy who wants to make it big with his music. Unfortunately, he seems to be getting no where...until a friend advises him that to be a great artist you need to suffer and experience life..and he's always had it too easy. At this point, Jordan acts very creepy. He sees a lovely dancer, Heer (Nargis Fakhri) and begins stalking her unmercifully. So what does she do? Yep, she decides that he'll be a fun guy to hang around with...at least until her upcoming wedding. So the pair go slumming and have a few laughs. Weird...huh? Some time passes. Heer has married and Jordan has suffered enough that he's gotten noticed and is finally an up and coming rock star. But, as you'd expect, Jordan is smitten with Heer and cannot enjoy his new-found fame. So, he makes sure to go to Prague on tour....because SHE is there. The pair once again pick up where they left off, but Heer seems very ambivalent. At times, she seems to want Jordan and other times she pushes him away. Ultimately, he seeks her out at her home and is arrested for trespassing. The trespassing charge is all over the media...and Jordan's popularity multiplies as he's now seen as a 'bad boy'. His off stage antics all contribute to this image and he's pretty much a prima donna...difficult and unpredictable. Again, this improves his image and he is now amazingly rich and famous. But he still doesn't have Heer....and he's miserable. Time passes. Heer apparently is dying and Jordan drops everything to be with her. At first, she rebounds and appears to be getting better. But can his love alone cure her illness or bring him what he really wants? Take a wild guess. My biggest problems with the film were that it all seemed so very phony and contrived...he tries to become angst-ridden and eventually does. Additionally, Jordan became so obnoxious during this journey that I also found myself no longer caring about him, his music nor his lady. The film seemed to be angst just for the sake of angst....and I just think that there are many better Indian films out there. Sure, cliches are the norm in Indian romantic movies...but likability...that's what this film lacks....at least for me.

For me it was the most awaited movie for this year, especially after listening to the awesome songs. First of all the music, Rehman and Irshad Kamil did fabulously well. The music and songs were totally different from the regular bollywood style. Ranbir was terrific and this was truly his best performance till date. He looked so natural that sometimes you feel that you are watching a live shot documentary or something. Imtiaz Ali's direction as always was very good. He has a different style of making movies and this movie is a great example of that. Though my personal favorite from his lot is Love Aaj Kal. The only loose part in the movie was Nargis. She was not up to the mark and some very good scenes and situations got spoiled because of her poor acting skills. And especially when pitted against the flawless Ranbir she looks pathetic to say the least. So, without disclosing anything from the story I'd say its a great movie and you surely can't afford to miss it.
