Movies based on the rock are revered and admired Hollywood, Bollywood, but has not been too kind to the genre. Vipul Shah's LONDON DREAMS has failed to cut the ice, despite the presence of top-level names, but ROCK ON! was a moderate success, with the urban public Dekha giving the film a second and third. The film could not penetrate to the heart, though.
Imtiaz Ali has always managed to find the right balance between the hoi polloi and the nobility. JAB WE MET and films like LOVE AAJKAL are proof that the narrator enormous talent will not attempt a movie if it is not fully convinced about it. Known for his imaginative and inventive take on love stories, Imtiaz takes yet another challenge with ROCKSTAR. The story of a rebellious musician / singer, traces the journey of love, fear, ego, difficulty, pain and devastation. A difficult journey, no doubt, but Imtiaz could be a turning point, if the film touches a chord. Alas! ROCKSTAR is a sumptuous film shot that is dissociated in the script.
Go to the root of the problem. We used to watch movies that have one, half beginning and end. The problem with ROCKSTAR is that you get more impressive, has some great moments in between, but the writing becomes erratic and inconsistent, as you head towards the conclusion that I ask you, I'm actually watching a movie Imtiaz Ali? I mean, even the skeptics agree that Imtiaz Ali is an excellent storyteller and his film has spoken [and also remain etched in our memory] due to various factors, the written material to be one of the main reasons.
What brings you back ROCKSTAR are some terrific moments, a bravura performance [Ranbir Kapoor is a class apart!] And, of course, AR Rahman's musical score. Wish you could make the whole movie back in our hearts!
Janardan [Ranbir Kapoor], who was born and raised in middle class localities of Delhi, has a dream larger than life - to be a rock star, like Jim Morrison! But all that she receives from her public humiliation and reluctant is ridiculous. And 'at the end of his spirit, when he realizes that all the stars of music, all the artists, in fact, have one thing in common. And this is tragedy. They all have tragic lives. They all suffered painful heartbreaks to become what they are. Alas, there is no pain in life Janardan. Unless something drastic is done, he will never become a rock star.
Heer [Nargis Fakhri] is the undisputed diva of the college campus - beautiful, talented, arrogant, rich and available. He has broken many hearts. Janardan hopefully break her heart too. He aims to woo Heer with the sole purpose of getting her heart broken.
ROCKSTAR traces the journey of a boy who leaves behind to become Janardan Jordan, through the ups and downs of life - from simple naivete of a soul tortured by the campus in Delhi at the international level ... He gets up and anything that his heart has always desired, but in the process breaks / loses his heart forever.
It 'obvious that Rockstar look for inspiration for the story from the iconic, charismatic and popular Jim Morrison. As capable as a director Imtiaz Ali at the helm, ROCKSTAR is expected to be a cult movie like this. But the film falters after an impressive start after that occurred in the four pivotal characters of the story - Ranbir, Nargis, Kumuda Mishra [Ranbir is confident] and Piyush Mishra [owner of a music company].
Narrated in flashbacks, the writing becomes irregular as to dig deeper and deeper. The film opens with Ranbir and hit up some people expect that the reasons for this struggle to come to the fore as the reels unfold. But the sequence remains unexplained even after the film ends. Sequences that describe the behavior unpredictable and inconsistent Ranbir are unexplained as well. The main mood swings - he's cool as a cucumber at times but becomes irritable and angry immediately - it is also disconcerting. His relationship with Heer is inconsistent as well. He looks like a very confused individual. Ranbir portions of Prague [including Nargis met on their arrival there] look unreal. The end of the story is more worrying. This is an open end, the public does not really know what happened to one of the main characters. In fact, the second hour is extended without good cause and who makes a watch boring.
Imtiaz Ali is expected to overshadow his earlier works, but it does not. Sure, he explores the emotional depth with great compassion and skill is also inspired performances by central characters, especially Ranbir Kapoor. But let's not overlook the fact that each film depends on a tight script and stumbles and fumbles ROCKSTAR in this category. At the same time, there are moments that are spectacular and brilliantly executed. The sequence between Shammi Kapoor and Ranbir [when he introduced the company's headquarters music] is super. Ditto for a particular sequence with Piyush Mishra, is taking a massage and while speaking with Ranbir. The sequence where Ranbir tears apart the agreement and Piyush Mishra is fantastic throws. Some scenes more individualistic reiterate the fact that Imtiaz Ali is a genius!
Music teacher A.R. Rahman's music is scintillating. ROCKSTAR is about the progression of a musician from India and the songs not only tell his story, but also traces his journey from a nobody to somebody. It must have been a challenge for Rahman to represent the emotional catharsis undergoes a rock star and the tracks, I might add, are not the typical Rahman number either. While some of the songs ['Sadda Haq'] will be loved immediately, a few others will take time to grow on you.
Cinematography Anil Mehta is top notch. Each frame is the perfect image, a painting on celluloid. Dialogue
deserve special mention. They are directly from life.
The secret of the triumph Ranbir is that he puts his whole heart and soul in every project I choose to love, anger, pain, sickness ... Ranbir brings a multitude of feelings to his character. It 'a role of a lifetime and Ranbir is sure to be immortalized in this story of a rock star. It slips effortlessly into character, so that we see very little Ranbir, the actor and more than Janardan / Jordan, the character he represents. His performance is beyond extraordinary.
Nargis is a stunner as it seems they are interested, but is not convincing in touching moments. However, the chemistry between Ranbir and Nargis is hilarious. Shammi Kapoor is superb in a small but significant role. Aditi Rao Hydara suffers from a characterization undeveloped. Kumuda Mishra is superb. What a good actor! Piyush Mishra is, as always, exceptional. Shernaz Patel enacts his part well.
Overall, Rockstar does not live up to the trust and expectations from the otherwise very able and accomplished director Imtiaz Ali. The film suffers immensely because of a messy script, especially in its post-interval portions. However, the silver lining or the prospect comforting is the virtuoso performance Ranbir Kapoor and catchy score by AR Rahman, who justify one more star.
