Rockstar Movie reviews

Imtiaz Ali’s much awaited Rockstar starring Ranbir Kapoor and Nargis Fakhri releases this Friday. Let’s catch all the reviews from noted movie critics here. Please share your reviews if you have seen the movie. Taran Adarsh -  3/5 On the whole, ROCKSTAR does not live up to the confidence and expectations from the otherwise very skilled and accomplished film-maker Imtiaz Ali. The film suffers immensely due to a disorderly screenplay, especially in its post-interval portions. However, the silver lining or the comforting prospect is the virtuoso performance by Ranbir Kapoor and the captivating score by A.R. Rahman, which justify that one extra star. Times Of India – 4/5 Ranbir Kapoor displays an amazing growth chart as a performer as he gradually changes from a two-sizes-too-tight jean-clad upstart to a musical genius seared by a love that threatens to scorch his very soul. Nargis Fakhri too stands tall as the delectable Heer who sizzles on screen with her unconventional ways. But eventually, the film is a milestone in Ranbir Kapoor’s career as an actor and a classic cut from the AR Rahman and Mohit Chauhan combo. Shammi Kapoor’s presence as the classical artist enhances the gravitas of the film. Savour a beautiful experience. Watch Rockstar and wait for Imtiaz Ali’s next from his compendium of love. Aniruddha Guha from DNA – 4/5 ROCKSTAR is – quite easily – the movie of the year. It wouldn’t be an understatement to say that Ranbir’s portrayal of Jordan may go down as one of Hindi cinema’s most accomplished performances for an actor his age. Just to see him work his magic onscreen, Rockstar is worth a watch. Daily Bhaskar - 3/5 3 Ups and 3 Downs: Power-packed performances especially Ranbir Kapoor for whom this movie will surely prove to be milestone, hilarious and some intense dialogues, cinematography and music are the strengths. Totally clattered post interval sequences, non-crisp editing and screenplay are the drawbacks. Overall, Rockstar is a one-time watch and worth a treat for both fans and non-fans of Ranbir Kapoor who does justice to his character at every moment in the film.
