"Rockstar" is a powerful movie that explores the emotional journey of a musician's rise to fame. Ranbir Kapoor delivers a remarkable performance, and the supporting cast is equally impressive. The movie seamlessly blends music into the narrative, with an incredible soundtrack by A. R. Rahman. The cinematography is breathtaking, and the story is both captivating and thought-provoking. "Rockstar" is a must-watch for anyone who loves music and appreciates exceptional filmmaking.

One of the most underrated movies of bollywood. Surely a must watch for all movie lovers. Journey of Janardan from a loafer boy to a passionate lover and finally a legendary rockstar has been marvelously portrayed. Aside from Nargis Fakhri, everybody has outdone himself. From Ranbir's acting, Imtiaz's direction and A.R.'s music everything deserves an standing ovation. But Mohit Cauhan's singing is what completes the portrayal of the titular character. The film also serves as a ride to some of the scenic places of Prague and Liberec and helps to delve deeper into the life of the protagonist. The music fits with every situation and grasps its emotions completely. Watch it if you dont wanna miss a gem from Bollywood....

Rockstar is that rare popular film that captures the precise moment when music draws a man into the realm of the divine.

The fact that this romance unfolds on screen in the form of an explosive musical, capturing JJ's transmutation into Jordan, the edgy artist, makes the film an absolutely engaging affair.
