Critic reviews and ratings
-
...a spellbinding courageous coming-of-rage saga woven into a tantalizing tapestry of memory and angst and driven forward with demoniacal fury by Ranbir Kapoor's centrally-heated performance.
-
...is some kind of crazy-great movie.
-
Savour a beautiful experience. Watch Rockstar and wait for Imtiaz Ali's next from his compendium of love.
-
Imtiaz deserves credit for trying his hand at something different from what the mainstream churns out every week. And for bringing back the one aspect sorely missing from Hindi films lately -- music.
-
...a simple, unspectacular tale, sometimes even predictable, but director Imtiaz Ali masterfully weaves in details that draw us in.
-
Director Imitiaz Ali manages to retain a personal, auteur's touch in a genre vastly commercial, mainstream. This is a rare feat.
-
...aspires to be a modern-day epic. While not an entirely wholesome experience, Rockstar does have plenty of moments worth savouring.
-
...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.
-
...may not be one of the finest attempts but is definitely worth a watch for its pleasing first half and the ace performance of Ranbir Kapoor.
-
Imtiaz Ali does a Mausam with Rockstar. Doing a Mausam simply means loving your work so much to the point of getting obsessed and losing objectivity.
-
...a far-from-perfect film, but it has honesty and depth, which is mostly missing in Hindi movies today.
-
If you need one reason to watch Rockstar, RK it is. With his role, Ranbir Kapoor firmly establishes himself as one of Hindi cinema's finest. Ever.
-
Rockstar is not a very pleasing film. It's not easy to decipher, digest and understand. It has its own language. A language of fun, craziness, madness, pain and love. But in its own unpolished way, the film speaks of a poetic yet tragic romance.
-
...has a Sufi soul. If only it had been set free and allowed to go the whole hog!
-
Underwhelming - is the word that keeps coming back to me ever since I left the theater.
-
Ranbir Kapoor shines above the meandering, sometimes self-indulgent script...
-
...this is a film that lacks discipline.
-
'Rockstar' disappoints; Ranbir doesn't.
-
...a story that aims to be epic but is mostly banal.
-
...the setting, imagery, costumes, get overwrought and orchestrated, the emotions become magnified. What Imtiaz forgets is that simplicity can sometimes talk much more.
-
...a boring, disappointing film, saved only by the rigour Ranbir Kapoor brings on - he is let down by the film's lack of depth, originality and artistic vision.
-
A completely incoherent film from an otherwise talented director.
