ROCKSTAR ON 11-11-11 !!!!

Finally the much awaited film is arrived. Our expectations were very much high because of Ranbir Kapoor and because of the previous records of the director Imtiaz Ali (Socha na tha, Jab we met and Love aaj kal). And with the promos our expectations shaped in to opinion about the story-line. I too had formed. But though Rockstar is not like that but its just differently good.

This is journey from the not-so-smart passionate Janardan jhakhar to Jardan the Rockstar. Imtiaz Ali crafted a superb character and Ranbir Kapoor did full justice to it. He never comes out from the character. Janardan Jakhad transcend himself gradually (what Satre says, "existence precedes essence ) and finally become Jardon. But the gradual flow is missing. we know Janardan Jakhad and we know Jardon, but we miss the gradual transition of the character. Its not that Imtial Ali did not show that but he showed it in patches, in a scattered form. Therefore we find it loose and out-gripped!

Now coming to the part of the love story that is the source of the development of the character. Love scenes are fresh and innocent. Some intimate scenes are actually much expressive then the content. They justify the depth of emotion what Heer (Nergis Fakri) has and passion of Jordan. But in some scenes Nargis Fakri became weak in expression. Her dialogue delivery lacks feeling sometimes. But Ranbir Kapoor saves her.

The best part of the movie is it's song. Rahman- Mohit-Irshad (kamil) combo has done magic. And above all the picturization of songs is enigmatic. Songs like "Sadda Haq"and "jo bhi mai kahna chahu" are so energetic that they rationalize the oomph and inner soreness of Jordan. And then comes "Kun faya". This is the song where Janardan Jakhad realises his inner cords of music. This song binds audience to the soul. and again Ranbir kapoor did justice here. especially the scene when he sees the sky. All together Irshad Kamil penned beautiful words in to the songs. All songs are good and relevant to the story.

The artistic vision of Imtiaz Ali can be understood by the picturesque scenes. especially in two scenes. One where Jardon is in bath tub and Guitar is flamed side by side of shower stream.

And another in the song "nadan parindey" where Heer enters to the stage and a beam of light follows her. and in the whole stadium only Jardon and hir were visible due to back-light.

Altogether movie is worth to spend time and money. It has got some different flavor with witty dialogues and good direction. And nonetheless the youthful energy. Watch it for Ranbir Kapoor. Watch it for Imtiaz Ali. And watch it to add one more count in the list of "movie for the movie sake"!!!
