A MUST WATCH MOVIE

Rating: 9/10 (6 May 2020)

When people criticize about Bollywood not being 'Artsy' with its production and forcing unnecessary songs to its content; well Rockstar is the movie he/she should watch. Rockstar is a Bollywood romance drama set in the soul of music. Directed by Imtiaz Ali, the movie had some promising roles by the cast; Ranbir kapoor, Nargis Fakhri, Kumud Mishra,Aditi Rao Hydari, Shammi Kapoor to name a few.
There were various aspects that I absolutely loved about the movie.
ACTING : One thing that everyone will mention about is the performance by the cast of movie. Ranbir kapoor connected with his audience not as an actor but as the shy boy jonardan as well as the rock star he was in the stage. If he pulls out his guitar in public and starts to sing calling himself the Jordon or Jonardan , It would be totally believable. The role was totally justified. We could clearly see the 'dard' in his eye. Talking about the leads who could miss the love of his life Heer Kaul by the very talented Nargis. The character stayed in our heart and prayed for the character to stay a bit more in the screen. We felt for them.
Talking about iconic characters, Khatana ji from the cafe is not to be missed out. What a great show he put up by his skills. A Proper guardian, Adviser, a friend, he meant a lot to jonardan. No one can forget "the samosa' incident.
There were many iconic characters other than them but these three remains my favorite of all.
STORY : Many stories are written, narrated and forgotten but this is that story that remains embedded in the heart of the audience forever. This story showed something that most fail to. How love is eternal and forever. It showed us love doesn't mean only to have the person and his body but to fall for the soul. It shows the continuous struggles, jonardan had to keep up his singing career and and his never ending love for Heer.
DIALOGUES AND LYRICS :
Words are really strong and you will know it if you watch the movie. The iconic monologue ' Yaha se bohut dur, galat aur sahi k par' still remains my favorite. Not here to give much spoiler, watch it and you know it.
Songs from the movie apart from the magical voice of the singers, the lyrics are just beautiful. Just perfect for a romantic hopeless like me
DIRECTION:
Come on its Imtiaz Ali !!!
Though some may say the character of the rock star jonardan was very aggressive and portrayed a wrong image of the rock singers among the audience.That's the part it gets tricky. Yes! the character could have been muted down a little but it would have destroyed the true essence of representing pure characters on the screen. Though it portrayed more aggressive side but it surely justified it.
To sum it up, It is one of the most beautiful pieces of Bollywood that will take one to a roller coaster ride of emotions.
