Review of Rockstar (2011) by Nirmal H — 22 Nov 2011

After ranbhir and the director decided to make this movie maybe they had a fight. so ranbhir said I will do an exemplary portrayal of my character in this movie and director said oh yeah well I will give you half cooked script and worst female lead I can find n lets see how u do. well thats exactly how u feel after watching this movie. special mention has to be of the female lead. she is so talented in making the ordinary daily activities like talking,laughing look so extremely difficult. leave aside the emotional scenes. even when she is talking she appears like an alien trying to adjust to living on earth.

The director did extremely good job at wasting the nice songs by using them so incoherently. if at the end of the movie based on rock music, you come out enjoying a sufi song the most, u can guess how much the movie sucks. if you have ever tried to debug a multi threaded application where the control jumps randomly between the threads and it becomes impossible to understand the flow, then you will probably feel the same while watching the movie. but if you are thinking that its probably a good thing that the audience will be interested then you are wrong. the love story between the two is supposed to be so intense that it changes the male lead's life forever but u never feel the intensity. and by the end you just wish the female lead dies quickly so that u can go home.

Having said that the movie is good in few instances. the female portrays extreme acting skills in the scenes where she is in Coma. I was expecting her to jump from her bed and sun a 100 m sprint but she didnt do that and I guess it might have been really difficult for her not to do that.. !! and my favourite dialogue of the movie when the male lead calls up the female lead and asks her "Tu Kab Marr Rahi Hai!!".
