Boobirt Stylish but barely mediocre overall

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Iseerphia All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

MAN ,THIS MOVIE IF IAM RIGHT ..SHOOK THE NATION'S YOUTH WHEN IT WAS FIRST RELEASED IN 2011 AND BEAUTIFULLY DEPICTS THE HARD TRUTHS AND COVERS CORUPPTION IN INDIA UPTO A GOOD EXTENT WITH IMITIAZ ALI;S BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN ,AND DIRECTED FILM "ROCKSTAR"!!! #ROCKSTARFOREVER

Emily Hill Music by Oscar winner A.R. Rahman carries a convoluted love story written and directed by Imtiaz Ali.Delhi boy Janardan (Ranbir Kapoor ) and exotic Kashmiri girl Heer (newcomer Nargis Fakhri) meet as students in a Delhi college. Heer dubs him "Jordan," and the name sticks. Jordan is a bit of a nerd, but he has music in him; the one thing he's missing, according to an old friend, is angst. "Nobody can make great art until they've experienced real pain," says his friend. When a family misunderstanding ends up with Jordan thrown out of his family's home, he seeks refuge at Delhi's Hazrat Nizamuddin Dargah, sleeping on its floors with other city outcasts and eating the simple, free food from its kitchen. Gradually, the charity he experiences there and the power of its Sufi music change Jordan, and — guitar in hand — he learns to hone his craft by playing for whatever audience will have him, be it a shrine full of Muslim worshipers or a Hindu gathering, random listeners on the street or even the prostitutes in a local brothel. These scenes are the absolute high point of the film, sparked with Rahman's inspired music and convincing guitar and vocal performances by Kapoor (with the dubbed vocals of singer Mohit Chauhan ). Technical aspects are well handled, especially Anil Mehta 's camera work capturing the grand vistas of Kashmir, Dharamsala, Delhi and Prague (the film was shot in association with the Czech Republic's film commission). Guitar wonderland Orianthi Panagaris (This Is It) lends her blazing licks to the film's background score as well. One incongruous image sticks in the mind. During the film's most blistering rock anthem, Jordan sings to an audience of Tibetan refugees in Dharamsala, the Dalai Lama's home in exile. The careful viewer will note that a banner in the background that reads "Free Tibet" has been digitally blurred out — at the orders of India's censor board, reportedly bowing to Chinese government pressure. The song Jordan sings in the scene, "Sadda Haq," speaks about freedom and truth. Director Imtiaz Ali has not spoken out publicly about the issue, but young Indians have been vocal in appreciating its irony. Real piece of cinema!~Emily

hsinghal1 This is a musical masterpiece. Though the movie itself deserves 8/10 but music is out of the world. Hence a perfect 10/10. Tracks Nadan Parindey and Sadda Haq was superb. In my opinion one of the finest compositions of A.R. Rahman.The movie contains deadly combination of A.R. Rahman, Ranbir Kapoor, Mohit Chauhan and Imtiaz Ali. The movie shows the frustration, and aspirations of an obsessive composer/singer perfectly. The chemistry between Ranbir and Nargis/Ranbir and Shammi kapoor was excellent. Must watch with free mind. The movie does not give any speech or lecture but enjoyable experience

raghavendra-ramadass2 When you actually see this movie, you just don't see it, you actually become the character, because of the acting delivered by Ranbir and an excellent BGM's by Rahman ! Man, I've got to tell this, I've watched this movie more than a single time especially for Ranbir. Rahman is at his best in this movie, from the beginning to the end of the scripts, be it the songs r the bgm, all r just out of this earth. Secondly, this is my first Ranbir film, have to say this, I've become a crazy fan after this movie ! really, i'm loving it ! he is just amazing, just look at the movie and you will understand what I mean !go with a blank mind and you will be heart-filled by this movie, though it has a silly and small plot, the transformation of ranbir's character is just amazing ! just watch this movie for him and the music !!
