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.

Rated: 4/5

Rewatched Rockstar and what a ride it was, The character arc of Jordan portrayed brilliantly by Ranbir was superb, The somewhat open ending of it making it somewhat of a tragedy Imitiaz ali did a marvellous job, expect more such films come out displaying such ferocious emotions.

"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.
