It is straight from the hearts of Director, Hero, and Music director. Genuine Attempt. Honest film.

Hero speaking straight from the hearts is punchy enough, n no punch dialog gimmics are required. Ranbir has shown, innocence, tenderness, and aggressiveness with the same panache. Laudable performance. Nargis gave appreciable performance for a new commer.

At the first hear, I felt that songs are not upto the standards of ARR. But they have grown with time. And now after watching movie, I feel songs are not meant to be chart-busters individually, in the first place, as they speak volumes about the story, and emotion. Songs are exceptional on screen. Especially, I was immersed in "Aur Ho", while watching.

Movie is a bit lenghty, but Imtiaz ali's intentions are clear on not compromising in the name of commercial values, as it is evident that he is the same director who made Love Aaj Kal in just over 2 hours. The already master in story telling has reached new heights with Rockstar. Screenplay looses grip here and there, but Imtiaz hardly has any with the kind of plot. Open ended climax proves that the film is never intended to be a block-buster.

Productions values are top notch. Cinematographer captured locations of Kashmir, and Prague beautifully.

Finally, It is a soothing, sour stirring, yet fascinating love story, which I wanna watch again for sure, n again may be.

P.S: Can understand if entertainment quest audience doesnt like the movie. But the what the F is wrong with the so-called intellectual reviewers? they give 4 and aboves for no brainers like bodyguard, Ra.1, Golmaals n Dhooms. Then why cant they encourage such genuine attempt? Even though they write any good, finally their rating would not go beyond 3.

This is the problem if film makers try to do any meaningful cinema. People want it to be so perfect and flawless, that even small glitches will be seen in magnifying glass and considered as blunders. But Mindless commercial pot-boilers get all the exceptions, and it is enough to have a few entertaining moments with completely flawed script. Damn.

"Away.. Beyond.. all the concepts of wrong-doing, and right-doing, there is a field.. I will meet you there". ... touching.

4.5/5

Ranbir has arrived. Wow!

What surprized me most in the movie was new comer Nargis Fakhri for her acting range and ability. I wonder where she got her training from ? A fine young actress and a visual delight.A great,new wonderful addition to Bollywood. A class act.She was the focus of the movie and kept it alive and most interesting throughout.Congratulations to her on her fine performance.

Imtiaz Ali is a name brand now in story writing and telling as a director. He has a knack in finding new talent and beautiful actresses. He handled a very laborious job extremely well. Congratulations to him also.
