ROCKSTAR
(A Rebellious Life of a Star full of Pain)
RockStar is a Class Apart
Rock Star, the next biggie from the makers of Love Aaj Kal, Jab We Met, Socha Na Tha.
The common guy behind all these lovely movies, Imtiaz Ali, the writer, the director who has a different treatment to Bollywood’s favorite subject called “LOVE”.
This time, Imtiaz Ali strikes a perfect cord with the guitar guy, RockStar.
RockStar is a totally different genre from all his previous movies.
A tender Love story told with full of passion, style, revolutionary music and emotions.
RockStar has a master-piece touch in all its part, but the most important is its Music and its Dialogues.
THE MUSIC
On the music part, A.R. Rehman’s work is pure revolutionary. No doubt, the music score has been the top on the list from the music release of RockStar.
“Sadda Haq”, “Nadaan Parindey” displays the pain and passion perfectly and choreographed very well.
The most special song is “Kun Faaya Kun” picturized in the Hazrat Nizzam-Ud-Din Dargah reaches directly to the Almighty and has sung so well by the maestro, A.R. Rehman himself with the Kawwali specialist, Javed Ali and a gifted soothing voice of Mohit Chauhan. The trio’s magic in Kun Faaya Kun is so heart soothing, that very less people, no matter which religion will overlook this song.

| KUN FAAYA KUN: The Master-Piece |
“Aur Ho” is sung beautifully sung by Mohit Chauhan, in his own style made me remember K.K’s voice.
The instrumental song picturized with Shammiji on Shehnai and Ranbeer on guitar is a master-piece.

“Hawaa-Hawaa” has a nice peppy touch with the beautiful moments shared between Nargis and Jordan.
"Phir Se Udd Chala" is soft soothing number, which is picturized perfectly in the beautiful mountains of Himachal, India.
All other songs are awesome and been blended in the movie perfectly, without the stopping the flow or screenplay.
THE SCENES
RockStar is totally crafted perfectly with beautiful scenes, lovely acting, painful emotions, class apart music.
The director has narrated the story very well in an innovative way with his style.
Pre-Interval is a mix of light an intense moments where Janardan turns to Jordan, the lovely chemistry built up between Nargis and Jordan, Janardan thrown out of his house by his family, the beautiful Kun-Faaya-Kun and many other master-piece scenes.
Gradually Jordan and Heer starts understanding that the immature relation started between them is not a joke. Jordan starts feeling the Pain of loosing Heer, which disturbs him every minute every second.
Heer forgets her smile, after loosing Jordan, post marriage.
Post-Interval is full of pain, where Jordan, the star, controversies favorite boy tries to get his love back in his life. But destiny has something different in his stock each time.
One of my favorite dialogue in the movie “Ek tootey Dil se hi toh Sangeet nikalta hain”, which strikes Janardan/Jordan (Ranbir Kapoor) so much that his search starts for a girl, to fall in Love.
Entry of the beautiful Heer (Nargis Fakhri), who wins the audiences hearts in her first movie with her cute smile and beautiful act. It’s a perfect chemistry between Ranbir and Nargis. The pair has looked sensational and lively in all the frames of the movie.
The post-interval scene between Heer and Jordan is special, where Heer and Ranvir under a pink cover, share their cozy feelings and aspire for a perfect life, which will be free from this society, controversies, hospitals, and all those things which try to tear them apart. It has been directed perfectly and brings a heart-soothing feeling after seeing all the pain in the lover’s relation. This truly brings Tears, on seeing the couple to embrace Lives.
The scene where Ustad Jameel Khan (Late Sir. Shammi Kapoor) tells to the business-minded Dhingra (the perfect Piyush Mishra), that Jordan is not made for those artificial studio recordings. This is a special and a cute scene between the sweet Shammi Sir and Ranbeer.
Shammi ji in his own style says his lines perfectly,
“Yeh bada jaanwar hain, Yeh aapki chotey Pinjrey mein nahin Samayega..Yeh Apni duniya banayega. Ispey uska haath hain, uski Inaayat hain”
Ustad gives Jordan his first break with the music company, from where the Rockstar’s journey gets a lift.
You will not stop clapping while watching the scene where Ranbir runs on Piyush Mishra by tearing the music contract to pieces and shouting the Mantra “Chal Ukhad Le Swahah…”
This movie will make you cry, laugh, shout with anger and passion, every time when Ranbir gives his electric performance till date. Ranbir has always been special in all his light hearted movies like “Wake-Up Sid, Rocket Singh, Ajab Prem ki Gazab Kahaani”. RockStar portrays him totally differently. His expressions are remarkable in every frame, which makes him look a perfect RockStar. RockStar takes him to a different height in the industry, from where there is no looking back for this actor. He has proved that he has the inherited “magic-touch” from the reputed Kapoor family, who has gifted GEMS (Shri Prithviraj Kapoor, the show-man Shri. Raj Kapoor, easy going Sashi Kapoor, the lively Shammiji, the blue-eyed Randhir Kapoor, the best chocolate boy, Rishiji, the remarkable Karishma and the innovative Kareena) to this industry in every decade. Ranbir proves that he is here to stay and has made his mark. Undoubtedly a Star shining, a Lively Actor. Hats off to this guy.
Nargis Fakhri is beautiful and has played the role transformations beautifully with her beautiful eyes and cute smile.
She has played perfectly the lively girl, where she reminded me of Katrina from Mere Brother Ki Dulhan.
The scene where she takes Ranbir to watch the blue film “Jangli Jawani” is awesome.
She has given total justice to her role in displaying her relief when she meets Ranbir again, the pain when she tries to kick Ranbir out of her life purposely, the battle between life and death.
Nargis has touched the hearts, with her remarkable performance.
The chemistry is heavenly and a perfect made for each other.
Shammi ji touches hearts in his short role.
Ranbir playing Shammiji’s “Tareef karron kya uski” is an icing on a cake to the audiences, which brings the old memories back.
I will not bore you with all this description, but will surely say that for me, Rockstar is a collection movie.
Don’t miss this journey of a RockStar, full of Passion, Rebel, Love, Courage, Frustration, the Highs-and-Lows of a star.
It’s a story of a special guy, Janardan turned in Jordan, in search of his own world, who loses everything to make his life perfect with his Love and his Music.
Gets all the Fame, Money which he desires, but is deadly missing his Love, Heer to make his Life perfect which is full of disputes and controversies.
Do not expect RockStar to be a popcorn goody-goody movie, as there is a lot of Pain involved in it.
You will love the movie, if you have ever been in Love, have an ear for music, have a heart for feeling those emotions….If you are in this class, go watch it, It’s a master-piece and a class apart.
In the Box-Office language, RockStar will win in all the big circuits with the class audiences.
Its hard to digest for the Teenagers and the Masses, who might expect the halka-fulka entertainment and less crying. But that’s their unfortunate tastes, who will need to work on it and possibly get it gradually.
Hats off to Ranbir, Nargis, Late Shammiji (will stay forever in our hearts), Piyush Mishra and others with the leader Imtiaz Ali, who has a gave justice to the subject very well.
And last but not the least, I will thank the Maestro, A.R. Rehman.
His music is the soul of RockStar, and is full of life.
RockStar Rocks Bollywood….. A Life of a Star
