Rockstar disappoints; Ranbir [Kapoor] doesn't.

3/5

It is redeemed by an accomplished performance from the talented handsome male-lead and by songs which rock.

Rockstar is that rare popular film that captures the precise moment when music draws a man into the realm of the divine.

4/5

The fact that this romance unfolds on screen in the form of an explosive musical, capturing JJ's transmutation into Jordan, the edgy artist, makes the film an absolutely engaging affair.

3/5

Clever editing renders the disjointed narrative through flashbacks to reflect the hero's chaotic upheavals.

A simple story, beautifully enacted, perfectly crafted, there is not much to fault in this film. Exemplary cinema by any standards.

Best work done by Bollywood and Ranbir Kapoor. A.R Rehman's music what else do you want in the movie.

Every time I watch this movie I cry. Masterpiece of Bollywood Ranbir Kapoor did soo great in the movie. Everyone should at least watch it once.

My all time fav movie — which is backed with exceptional performances and also the essence of the movie — the music - has its own cult. And im one of the first people to be part of it and will always be. It’s been so many years can’t replace the movie and songs. —

Rewatched Rockstar and what a ride it was, The character arc of Jordan portrayed brilliantly by Ranbir was superb, The somewhat open ending of it making it somewhat of a tragedy Imitiaz ali did a marvellous job, expect more such films come out displaying such ferocious emotions.
