We must congratulate Rockstar team for excellent handling of press and media. All the reviews which I have seen have given 4 stars for this superlatively mediocre movie. Some real reasons why Rockstar doesnt work. 1) Too long and predictable 2) Illogical back and forth flashbacks and flashforwards and events 3) Absolutely stale story. Imtiaz needs a break 4) Rockstar as a culture is hard to connect. We, indians have habit to make gods out of celebrities. Wont be comfortable with celebrity showing middle finger to masses 5) No matter how good Ranbir acts, his personality doesnt suit the rockstar image. He tries hard but simply speaking his looks and body language is bit too a 'softy' kind 6) New gal is terrible. Dont knw why bollywood is so obssesed with someone from west. Even Ekta Kapoor TV serial actor would do a better justice to her role. When she speaks on the screen....we all YAWN big time 7) Had high hopes from Imtiaz but now started beliveing that he peaked during 'jab we met' and will survive in the industry for 25 years because of one super sucess. Some highpoints of the movie: 1) AR Rahman.....Sir, u rock. What a background score. Reminds of Roja when camera takes a long shot of snow ladden trees in kashmir and czec republic. And Faya Kun is so soothing..Dunno how u manage to deliver winners one after other..keep it up sir 2) Mohit Chauhan..got success so late but gems glitter no matter what. For some it takes few more years than the rest.
ranbir kapoor really rocks........locations..music........everything is gud but imtiyaz is repeatin himself even some dialogs are taken from 'socha na tha' his first & best film yet............
