Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict

Luecarou What begins as a feel-good-human-interest story turns into a mystery, then a tragedy, and ultimately an outrage.

Catherina If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Delight Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

amarnath-34837 Direction is good and excellent performance by Ranbir. It's a good movie to see.

indianature I have just finished watching Rockstar on TV. Without any expectations I might add, not having heard of it before today.I enjoyed this movie and was engrossed till the end. Ranbir Kapoor put on a superb performance as though the music really was coming from his lovelorn heart and soul. The qawwali scenes in particular, were quite moving. Nargis Fakhri played her role well The story line was enhanced by the performance of the actors. Rahman's music was good, even the rock was melodious and listenable though I am not a fan of rock.The ending was apt, leaving the sad climax unsaid. I do not want to go into the story here as that would spoil the show for anyone who has not seen this yet.This is not a comedy - for those who only watch comedies. It is a human story, sad and dark with several shades of grey.Not suitable for children. Definitely worth a watch for adults.

Vimlesh Kumar Pandey This shows that storytelling does not have to be in a format or pattern and yet you can be sssooo effective. Imtiaz brought us an immensely fresh style of storytelling. And his creative vision was well supported by the rest of the team members. Ranbir- He well operated the character and fit himself into it perfectly. He is so troubled as Jordan and so innocence as Janardan. He displays the transition to his character so well. He's defined an emotionally troubled Rockstar. A R Rahman- I think he was there with Imtiaz when he was writing the film or working on the plot to be more precise. Because songs and background scores don't give a feeling that they are an added feature in the story, instead they breath in it and make it ssoo Powerful. Anil Mehta- Cinematography is just so in sync with the scenes that it does magic for the viewers. Editing, singing, acting by the rest of the cast were all Marvelous. It was a delight to watch Late Shammi Kapoor as a Shehnaayi player. His dialogue delivery still had a charisma. And how can we forget that 'Tareef karoon kya uski' track performed by Ranbir...So beautiful. The climax was icing on the cake. A grand salute to the Captain Imtiaz.

Mr.AlphaGun Rockstar is a movie about a confused youth who achieves fame a rock singer. And what all he loses in the process to achieve fame. Somewhere in the beginning of the film, the character Janardhan Jakhar is told that one can be a true artist only if he suffers pain. And he goes about looking for an opportunity to create pain for himself (as well as others around him!). In this process, he tries to woo a girl already betrothed to someone else, knowing well that the drama is going to cause him a lot of pain, and give him the motivation to become a singer! The problem with this film is that it represents the wrong track on which the society thinks. And it gives a very wrong message. After watching this flick, quite a few creative individuals may think about dropping their pursuits. This is the 'Sadda Haq' generation, to quote a song from the film. These are the people who feel entitled to everything on Earth, and make a lot of noise during the TV debates. Unfortunately, the film ends up glorifying such behavior. The Rockstar's behavior and motivations are completely out of place. Nothing justifies that show of rage, or anti-social behavior which he exhibits. Apart from the wrong message, the film suffers from a poor and incoherent screenplay as well. One scene jumps to another, without much co-relation between them. Performance wise, Ranbir Kapoor is good as the rebel-without-a-cause Rockstar, but so would be anyone playing the role. It is the debut of the lead actress, Nargis Fakhri, and it is not fair to have sky-high expectations from her! The music is certainly not A.R. Rehman's best, but the excellent lyrics more than make up for it. The director Imtiaz Ali had shown this tendency of randomness in his previous flicks (Love Aaj Kal), but had managed to keep them intact. Here, he completely loses the plot. The high ratings are symbolic of a similarly confused society that has gone 'out-of-focus' itself. I will go with a four out of ten for Rockstar. Ra.One and Bodyguard are much more entertaining!
