Rockstar 2011 movie review

"Rockstar" is a 2011 Indian musical romantic drama film directed by Imtiaz Ali and starring Ranbir Kapoor and Nargis Fakhri. The movie follows the story of a young musician named Janardhan Jakhar (Ranbir Kapoor), who dreams of becoming a rockstar and achieving fame, but faces several challenges and heartbreaks along the way.

Overall, "Rockstar" is a well-made film with excellent performances from the cast and a captivating storyline. Ranbir Kapoor delivers an outstanding performance as the protagonist, and his portrayal of a struggling artist who goes through various emotions is impressive. Nargis Fakhri, in her debut role, is also commendable and fits well in her character.

The film's music, composed by A. R. Rahman, is undoubtedly the highlight of the movie. The soundtrack is soulful, emotional, and perfectly captures the essence of the film. The songs "Jo Bhi Main" and "Kun Faya Kun" are particularly noteworthy and have become quite popular among music lovers.

The movie's cinematography is another aspect that stands out. The stunning visuals, especially the scenes shot in Prague, are breathtaking and add to the movie's overall charm.

However, the film's pace can be slow at times, and some parts of the story could have been trimmed to make it more engaging. The ending of the movie, too, may not be satisfactory for everyone and could have been better.

In conclusion, "Rockstar" is a movie that is worth watching for its performances, music, and visuals. It may not be perfect, but it's an emotionally charged film that will leave you with a lasting impact.
