The songs other than “Saada Haq” and “Kun Faaya” need repeated listening to become likable and one can only relate with most of them after watching the film. No doubt, it has got the few gems in the kitty but when it’s the musical score by Rahman, of a film called ROCKSTAR, made by Imtiaz Ali, then its unarguably logical to expect something extra-ordinary in its each track. Rahman I would humbly like to say that I was really expecting a lot more from this soundtrack of ROCKSTAR. It is well supported by a brilliant camerawork equivalent to the International Standards, a superlative musical arrangement by the maestro (including the singing part by Mohit Chauhan) and some truly great lyrics by Irshad Kamil, which pump up the blood flowing in your body and you feel like standing and saying “Saaaaaada Haq, Aitheeeeey Rakh”. Musically, the track “Saada Haq, Aithey Rakh” explains the inner clash & tension of a true artist perfectly. And in all probabilities of the world, where people don’t like to get serious or listen to something about their own real life in a film, this abrupt and open ending of ROCKSTAR will not be taken sportingly by majority of the audience as well as critiques who value the commercial prospects of a film more than its intrinsic value.

Because this very part of the movie takes it to another spiritual level where one gets to see the bitterness in the words “SEX” and “GUILT” clearly before his eyes, quite shamelessly. Moreover, the last 30 minutes of the film and its purely enlightening climax, might be equal to the phrase of “Upar Se Nikal Gayi” for many viewers particularly in the smaller centers.
In its second half, ROCKSTAR mostly talks about the inner conflicts of a big star and her beloved who are not ONE at the moment due to their own lack of will of taking the right decisions at the right time. And that’s where most of the viewers are going to find it difficult to grasp as that is nothing compared to anything ordinary or easily understandable. So till the interval point, ROCKSTAR is totally an entertaining venture with something thrown in for all kind of audiences both in the major and the smaller centers (like the adult movie sequence).īut all the commercial problems start post intermission where the film takes a drastic turn towards becoming a more enlightening experience than an entertaining one. The transformation sequences of Janardan becoming the famous Jordon are a treat to watch, especially the qawaali at Nizammudin Dargah and all in-studio scenes of Ranbir along with Piyush Mishra and the great Shammi Kapoor. The writers beautifully explain the need of “Some kind of Pain or Heartbreak” in order to become an artist in a lighter mode, which later on takes a realistic shape in Janardan’s life.
The Ranbir-Nargis pairing looks ravishing on the screen with the traces of “Geet” from JAB WE MET in the characterization of Nargis. Taking an inspiration from the real-life story of the famous & charismatic Rock-music Icon Jim Morrison, the script takes you inside the complex character of a popular STAR who majorly gets famous for the wrong reasons. Narrated mostly in flashback mode, the film is about the journey of a Rockstar who is basically suffering the consequences of his own indecisive character. ROCKSTAR is a winner all the way in the first half and the viewers are sure going to enjoy all the proceedings in its first hour with an intelligent direction, entertaining performances, perfect cinematography, realistic dialogues, believable characters and soothingly supporting soundtrack. So, I have a lot to share about the film and its subject with all my friends here and would like to start with the film itself. Besides, the film had another pleasant surprise for me in the form of Nargis Fakhri, who not only looks stunning but also contributes a lot in her onscreen chemistry with Ranbir.
#Rockstar movie professional#
Because as I feel, all his past movies were just fine entertainers, made with many commercially viable elements incorporated in them for their commercial success with few memorable performances.īut with ROCKSTAR Imtiaz shows the other hidden & sensitive side of his persona and makes a film which clarifies many famous misconceptions about creative people, their creativity and their professional life which is not known to the common man. But ROCKSTAR even goes a step ahead and delivers the unexpected too in the form of an enlightening film, touching a sensitive issue for the first time in Indian Cinema.įrankly after Socha Na Tha (2005), Jab We Met (2007) and Love Aaj Kal (2009), I wasn’t really expecting such an intense movie from its director Imtiaz Ali.
It’s a great feeling when a film majorly delivers what was being expected from it by the audience.
(SPOILER Note : This review reveals the climax and calls for a mature reading too.)
