Movie: Hindi : Rockstar

I am not a fan of Rock. So when the music for Rockstar was released, I was not too keen about it. But then i heard many people approving the music. This got me interested. The first round of listening threw up only Shehar mein. Then another couple of rounds led me to appreciate songs like Kun Faya and more.
When Rockstar was released along with immortals and Tintin, my first instinct was Tintin then immortals. I missed the tickets for both and i ended up buying tickets for Rockstar. I went with a clean slate as I had no expectation (positive or negative) from the movie.
The movie starts with a rebel Jordan (Ranbir) stirring up the public with his energy (read anger). Then starts the flasback. Ranbir is a small time singer who is thrown out of all auditions. He is confused as he believes he has the potential but one seems to care a damn. One mantra from his friend lets him into a world he is not familiar with. He meets Heer (Nargis Fakhari) who is a rebel in her own ways. What starts as an innocent checklist leads to interesting twists and turns in the lives of the protagonists.
As you keep watching the movie you keep getting drawn into the characters and can relate to the pain, happiness, sorrow and anger of the characters. The chemistry between Ranbir and Nargis is worth watching and pondering about. Ranbir throws in the charisma needed for the character. Nargis is very sweet and looks very pretty through the movie.
The post interval excitement of jab-we-met can be felt in Rockstar in prague. In fact i could relate many emotions of jab-we-met here in Rockstar as well. What makes Rockstar tick is the bonding of the characters. I beleive One thing that is really difficult is to pull-off is the reasons for a person's behavior and the justification given in the movie is relatable. My only let down moment was when Joran meets heer in Prague for the first time, the emotion was completely missing. I kept wondering, if I were a girl and I meet someone who i really adored would this be my first reaction ! definitely other. Other wise i have nothing to crib.
Khun Faya Khun was amazing. Watching it on big screen and the appearance of the true rockstar on wheel chair was very touching. Music is melodious and you get drawn into it. I did not find shehar main being sung completely in the movie. Sada Haq is not my type of song but the song bursts out with so much of energy that I had goose bumps.
When I came out of the hall I had 2 sets of emotions. One i could connect to the characters and two felt sad for the true rockstar of all times. I loved the film. Sunday afternoon well spent.
