Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

Cleveronix A different way of telling a story

Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

ActuallyGlimmer The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

bollycritic Tanuja Chandra needs to go to film-school. True, I have never been either, but I know a horrible film when I see one. Oh course Tanuja is in excellent company in Mumbai thanks to the likes of Sohail Khan, Siddharth Anand and Kunal Kohli, all of whom have repeatedly directed some of the worst films in the history of the world.Why do her female protagonists always have to be so angry or scream obsessed? And why are Tanuja's films always so BORING? The plot here is preposterous, and I could not care less for the lead character, no matter how much I love Sushmita Sen. This woman just does not know how to direct.

AishFan Zindaggi Rocks is a movie with a different flavor and different attitude. It is a sweet, emotional story that helps you embrace life. Z.R. is a film about a mother, played by Sushmita Sen, and her 12 year-old son. In the big picture, as stated by director Tanuja Chandra, it is about the multi-layered woman who has a child, a career, and a love interest. Sushmita's son in the film is fighting for his life due to a heart condition. The scenes towards the end are real tearjerkers and deeply touch your heart. Unlike movies that are emotional for the sake of being emotional or those that show the traumatic lives of individuals to show the dark side of the world, Z.R. does the same but maintains a positive outlook on life and illustrates an important message. Every single person has his/her share of problems and goes through periods of their life that will try to drain the most out of him/her. However, we must keep living; we must keep rocking! This life and every moment of it is ours. We must either live it up or watch it pass by. Sushmita displays this message by her never-say-die attitude. She brings smiles and love to everyone even in the midst of her son's deterioration. Don't misunderstand this to mean that one should completely forget and drop all their problems and start partying (as this is impossible); that is not the message at all. Sushmita does fall apart at times and is almost unable to bear her son's state, but she never lets that kill her spirit. It is as alive as ever, and she tries her hardest to accomplish her goals. Sushmita was absolutely fantastic! Probably her best performance yet! It doesn't look like she's acting but as if these are real snippets from her life; no one else could have done half a decent job as her. The kid was pretty good too. Shiny was also good although his role wasn't too demanding. Mousmi was good, while Kim was weak. Songs are excellent!! All tracks are great--some are slow and melodic. One is a Sufi/Arabic number, while the others are an interesting, unique mix of Hindi and true Western rock that I have never seen come out of Bollywood before. The female rockstar, a definite first in India, played by Sushmita who would go to any length to save her son's life, really showed how admirable and strong a woman is.

goelshek I've just finished watching the first half of the movie and couldn't resist commenting on it. I laughed and smiled and clapped with his movie more than I have in the past 20 movies. I don't know why its 3.7 and don't know what the second half holds. But so far, Sushmita and Maushmai Chatterjee's work is mind-blowing. Their laughter and happiness comes across as so sincere and natural that you can't stop yourself on laughing with them, even if the dialogues are cheesy and stupid at times. Shiny Ahuja stands nowhere as compared to Sush. His eyes are expressive and voice full of sadness, but he fails to emanate the spark and doesn't bring the charisma that is required of this role. I'm sure this is one of those movies that I like and the world hates. I hope I continue to enjoy the movie and the second half is equally good.

kcarai At the concept level, 'Zindaggi Rocks' is indeed a story to reckon with. A mother makes an ultimate sacrifice to save the life of her ailing son. The story has a potential to stir emotions and to provoke thoughts.The film is the story of a singer, rock star Kria (Sushmita Sen) who has an adopted, 12-year-old son Dhruv. Kria has a stern mother and a fun-loving Aunt (both roles played by Moushmi Chatterjee).The final moments of the film does bring a tear to the eye.Indeed a great movie to watch.Zindaggi Rocks ;-)
