Ranbir Kapoor is the next Rockstar

Rating: 7/10 (29 December 2011)

Here is my review of the movie without giving too much away:
Jordan (Ranbir Kapoor)is a wannabe singer who just does not have what it takes to be a rock-star (his colorful shirt/vest combo is also not helping matters). His main source of advice is a small shop/canteen? owner. His words of wisdom are that every good artist has some type of pain inside; a broken heart. So from there Jordan sets out to get his heart broken. The series of events start out comically but in reality the unraveling of his life is set into motion.
The main moral of the story is to be careful what you wish for.
Performance wise Ranbir Kapoor is awesome. He has no problem playing a dorky guy in the beginning and then a rebel in the second half. He is fast becoming the next big superstar of Bollywood. Nargis Fakhri is the latest non-Indian actress Bollywood has to offer. She looks good in the movie but acting wise is OK. She seems slightly better than the other import (Katrina Kaif) because she is at least able to display more than two emotions. I am pretty sure Imtiaz Ali would have preferred Kareena in this role but was unable to do so since her and Ranbir are cousins.
A movie called Rockstar has to have good music, and AR Rahman delivers with the best soundtrack of the year.
Overall the movie has a decent story and excellent acting from Ranbir Kapoor but is a bit too long and at times starts to drag.
