A Movie that makes you think about it
even when the lights are back on!!,
By: Aaditya Deb (rancidgrillz)
from Delhi, India: When you think about a
film by Imtiaz Ali, you only see an entertainment tag to a film, and also very
good script writing. But seeing the promos of Rockstar made me think what Imtiaz
is up to now. After giving a great film like "Jab We Met" and a mediocre film
like "Love Aaj Kal", I was expecting a cheesy Love Story with a good
entertaining factor. I won't say this movie doesn't have any cheesiness, but yes
it's in a very low dosage. People going for just entertainment will actually
love half of the movie. People going to see a Romantic flick will love the whole
film. There are some very good comic punches in the film, and some very
humiliating parts too. I won't use any spoilers, but yes the first half is full
of comic scenes.
ACTING: Ranbir kapoor is at his best here. After giving a great performance in
Rajneeti, this guy has shown his serious part again, in more of sadder way.
Nargis Fakhri is very good to look at, most part of the film you will just look
at her and won't even hear what anybody is saying, but when you see her talking,
the jaw just falls down, she does not have those acting skills at all, it's like
the start of "Katrina Kaif" again. But she has a great future ahead of her for
sure. Kumud Mishra and Piyush Mishra never disappointed in their acting, both
did a great job, especially Piyush Mishra.
DIRECTION & CINEMATOGRAPHY: Now the direction was really top notch in this
movie, it was particularly flawless in every aspect. Imtiaz has a tendency to
deepen the character development, and he has done this with great enthusiasm.
The character Development of the "Rockstar" is very good and keeps you on your
seat. The Cinematography was also great, from the walking sides of Delhi
University to the scenarios of Kashmir and Prague was immensely intriguing.
STORY: The Story of the movie had some parts that all Hindi romantic have
usually, for a time you would wonder of a "Yash Raj" film being shown. But the
turn of events and the whole movement of the story were good. The only problem
being that the whole movie was a "drag/stretch". This movie if made shorter,
would have gained more audience.
MUSIC: I would say the music (by A.R. Rahman) is damn good. From "Jo Bhi Main"
to "Tum Ho", the scores and really beautiful, and stays in your head for a very
long time. Sadda Haq already being the favorite among the youth has a good
adrenaline rush factor in it. The movie being pretty much mediocre, the music
actually makes the movie very good.
VERDICT: I would go for
FILM: 7/10
ACTING: 7/10
DIRECTION & CINEMATOGRAPHY: 6/10
STORY: 6/10
MUSIC: 9/10
OVERALL: 7.5/10
The movie has been given a great artistic touch to it, which is hard to see in a
Bollywood film. Such that it makes you think about the whole movie even after 24
hours of watching it
