It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Bestest movie and my all time favorite movie of Ranbir
I gave 9 in spite some flaws because its a rare commodity. mainstream movie are losing its soul and the indie movies are more art driven but very few fall in the soul full category. away form all the sci-fi complex stories or fancy CGI it is neither preachy nor is ignorant but is authentic. my favorite director is martin Scorsese because he never lies he is very authentic as it can get. Rockstar is like that yes not to forget two important ingredient which makes it memorable is A.R rahman music and ranbir kapoor acting. But credit goes to imtiaz ali for daring to create a sketch of the most tormented beings in the earth those beings are artists. who go great length to submerge in their work in their art and in that process they end up finding the lost pieces by being lost.
As I am great fan of A R Rahman, I watched this movie. After watching, I have been astonished the way Muhit Chouhan sings and Ranbir Kapoor acts. A R Rahman always compose his music by his heart but the implementation of Chauhan is awesome as well as the acting, the real Rockstar acting of Ranbir, is marvelous. I always follow A R Rahman from his composition of 'Roja'. I like very much the little musician from south India. Bollywood produces bunch number of movies every year, low quality music, copy from other musician intentionally or without intentionally, very third class lyrics and singers also. But exceptions are found when A R Rahman comes. Next comes to Imtiaz Ali. I think he did research properly in musical movies to come to action of this movie. As he is not typical like any other director of Bollywood, Rockstar proves that also. He is very talented indeed and with another musical talent A R Rahman, he blasts. And I became a fan of Ranbir Kapoor who is from a cinema background family, his father is Rishi Kapoor. His Jordan look in this movie is just awesome. He delivered successfully the thinking of A R Rahman and Imtiaz Ali as well as great singing of Muhit Chauhan.I didn't listen Muhit Chauhan so much but in this movie, I totally enjoyed. I searched for other music of him and found that he sings very well.I would like to rate as 1. Music 10/10 2. Film 7/10 3. Acting 8/10 4. Story 7/10
Imtiaz from his usual self diversifies into passive evolvement stirring the protagonist to exemplary pinnacle through this artistically overwhelming narrative. The journey from Janardhan Jhakar to Jordan is subtly captured with neatly etched characters, slick editing and a finely crafted script. Looking at the intricate detailing and contrasting patterns of Ranbirâ(TM)s character, it would be a tough choice to find an alternate calibre to breathe life into Jordan. Though with the initial revelation of 14 tracks from the maestro stirred some question marks, Ali seamlessly nurtured the amalgamation turning every subsequent frame into a finely woven poetry. From the raw innocence of an aspiring college boy to the ingeniously interlaced affair eventuating a pain stricken dogmatist star, Ali sways with ease in sketching precise screenplays for his unusually conventional characters. A far riskier and jagged terrain than his blockbuster jab we met , Rockstar certainly celebrates Ali's doorway to sensible cinema.
