Rockstar as my Favorite Movie

If i was asked about my favorite film, i would think for a rather long time about the answer. There are many well-rounded films that are released every week, so choosing best of them would be a complicated task. However, if i was asked to name and review among the best, i would almost immediately recall “Rockstar” – Rockstar is a rare popular film that captures the precise moment when music draws a man into realm of the divine. Rockstar is a very difficult film to make and so is the character but the director imtiaz ali goes all out in giving it a very personnel and intimate touch which is rare to find nowadays. It has its inconsistencies and is not a perfect film but there is lot of sincerity in its approach. Rockstar is a story of a man struggling to find himself, spiritually and artistically yet it is built as a love story.

Delhi boy janardhan (Ranbir kapoor ) was born with a good for nothing reputation in his family. his passion for music and strumming guitar has a sole purpose to being famous, but is always at the receiving end amongst people and friends. according to an old friend with whom he shares his understanding of life suggests that to create good & soulful music one needs to go through all the pains of life and in such an instance he tries to be close with exotic kashmiri girl heer kaul (Nargis Fakhri). Heer dubs him ” Jordan,” and the name sticks. When a family misunderstanding ends up with jordan thrown out of his family’s home, he seeks refuge at delhi’s hazrat nizamuddin dargah, sleeping on its floors and eating free food from its kitchen. Gradually he receives fame with the recommendation of shehnai player for some recording contracts but the emptiness remains as he lost heer from his life.

As soon as he gets an opportunity for a European tour which is acquired by selling himself to a music company, jordan starts on a journey of love to meet heer who has been suffering from bone marrow diseases. they infuse their lost moments of love with touch and some scorching passion and chemistry. Her days are limited, but the power of love to heal is so tremendous where she responds in being hearty and fine. With a misunderstanding and Jordan being acquitted as a criminal and deported back to India, the shift happens in a man with rage, angst and being a tormented soul with pain and restlessness, Jordan becomes the bad boy of music and so is his relation with media and crowd.
