Rockstar (2011) (Hindi Movie / Bollywood Film / Indian Cinema DVD)

Product Description The story follows Janardan Jakhar (Ranbir Kapoor) an uncouth, social nobody in college in Delhi. A good-for-nothing, uncooperative son at home. And a struggling-musician-with-little-hope to his friends and acquaintances. But Janardan wants to change all that. So when a well wisher discloses the secret behind all great success that you have to fall in love and then break your heart. Only then will your music become better, deeper and you will be a star. Janardan is determined to make it happen for him too. He befriends Heer (Nargis Fakhri); the most beautiful, sophisticated and popular girl in college. The two strike an unconventional friendship, and spend their days together in reckless abandonment. Then Heer leaves and Janardan continues with his regular life. He gives up music and joins the family business. But fate has other plans. Janardan and Heer meet again. This time things are different. Before he knows it Janardan embarks on a tumultuous journey of self discovery, longing and restlessness only to realize that the very thing he spent his life looking for was in front of him the whole time. Review Leave it to Imtiaz Ali to take a love story and present it in a manner that's completely different from run-of-the-mill Bollywood. Romance, under his creative vision, becomes a multi-layered, sensitively nuanced, monumental experience which has more to do with serenading your soulmate rather than a stereotypical marriage partner. With intelligent entertainers like Jab We Met, Love Aaj Kal and now Rockstar, he is evolving as a new age Yash Chopra. Love literally smoulders under his narrative, albeit in a completely modern idiom. Music maestro A.R. Rahman's music is scintillating. ROCKSTAR is about the progression of a musician from India and the songs not only tell his story, but also track his journey from a nobody to a somebody... Anil Mehta's cinematography is top notch. Every frame is picture perfect, a painting on celluloid. Dialogue deserve special mention. They are straight out of life. The secret behind Ranbir's triumph is that he puts his heart and mind into every project he chooses to perform in. Love, resentment, pain, hurt... Ranbir brings a multitude of feelings to his character. It's a role of a lifetime and Ranbir is sure to be immortalized in this story of a rockstar. He glides into the character effortlessly, so much so that you see very little of Ranbir, the actor and more of Janardan/Jordan, the character he represents. His performance is beyond extraordinary. Nargis is a stunner as far as looks are concerned, but isn't persuasive in poignant moments. However, the chemistry between Ranbir and Nargis is exhilarating. Shammi Kapoor is superb in a small but significant role. Rockstar saw a very good opening. The film opened to a good response at multiplexes with collections averaging in the 80-90%.... Rockstar collected 10 crore (US$2.03 million) nett on it's opening day thus becoming the second highest opener after Ready in the non-festival season.. !!!!!!!!!!!! A must Watch !!!! --http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1839596/
