"Movie was great ... Ranbir Kapoor acted really well....I got bored .....etc etc - All I could hear was "talks .... yes lots of them" ... as I was walking down the stairs towards parking. Well, I was one of them too.
Movie started with lots of expectations. The director gave a short glimpse of the story in the beginning to keep you glued to the screen wondering how it all happened. Imtiaz Ali kept doing it throughout the movie and yes, he was really successful in scattering the story and then bringing all pieces back together to move the curiosity at various levels.
Passion towards a cause/hobby/interest can make someone do anything. Jordan wanted to be a Rockstar but nothing was working out. And then like a true champion, he analyzed the situation and tried to bridge the gap between where he was and what he wanted to become. Out of innocence - he wonders why he had no pain in life and like they say "be careful of what you wish for, you might just get it".
What I really liked in the movie was the importance of journey in one's life. It might not be about destination after all. Even after achieving all he wanted in life- (his passion of becoming a Rockstar), Jordan was not happy. He could/did not even enjoy the happiness of reaching the destination. It meant nothing to him when he reached the target. The passion had transformed in between.
Sometimes we long for something ... wish to get it somehow and surprisingly, that thing turns out to be non-relevant & unimportant when we actually get it.
Music was amazing. A R Rehman is a genius and so is the voice of Mohit Chauhan. Loved the combination! The songs were not embedded into the movie but those were instrumental in taking the story forward. Brilliant work! "Sadda Haq" is one of my favs but I found the situation a little inappropriate for the song in the movie. Perhaps it was - given the personality that Jordan had. 2 lines that caught my attention very deeply (Fayakun song): "Ho mujh pe karam sarkar tera ... arj tujhe kar de mujhe ... mujhse hi reeha ... ab mujhko bhi ho deedar mera ...ab kar de mujhe mujh se hi riha". Additionally, I loved that Jugalbandi of Shehnai and Guitar --- simply great.
Climax could not impress me much. It could have been better. An innocent, cute, fun loving Jordan gets transformed into someone else in second half of the movie and it was kind of sad. They say - pain makes a person either very strong or very weak. The director chose to make Jordan the latter. Jordan never even attempts to re-unite with his family, whom he claimed in the beginning to have given him a smooth, happy life. It was sad to see the heroine in that situation....c'mon guys it was a movie after all - a miracle could have happened :)
Oh yeah - this was Nargis Fakhri's debut movie however she dint do justice to her role. Ranbir Kapoor deserves a great applause. He lived the character perfectly.
Overall - I liked the movie and now I'm listening to the songs. Gaana.com is the official partner in making of this movie (saw it when the movie started) ..........that explains now why Rockstar album is not available on musicindiaonline.com. lol
