In his words, “I don’t know why he sang ‘Sadda Haq, Aaithe Rakh’. In the same interview, Imtiaz discussed how there was criticism against the film and he was asked about the ‘haq’ that he was fighting for in ‘Sadda Haq’ to which Imtiaz said that even he did not know that. In an earlier interview with, Imtiaz had described Jordan as “non-cerebral” and after rewatching the film, I realise where he is coming from but it doesn’t get me into his corner when his actions or reactions are not motivated by any reason whatsoever. Ranbir Kapoor gave his all to Jordan in Rockstar. Rockstar, however, left me questioning the idiocy of its characters who appeared extremely self-centered and were making decisions because they had to do something in the film. Every time you revisit one of those, you find something that you can relate to in that stage of your life. As I revisited Rockstar after 10 years, I kept thinking about those animated Disney/Pixar films that always have something for everyone, no matter if you are six or sixty.

When the film released, I was still in the hangover of my teens and much like the film, I romanticised tragedies and self-destruction but a decade later, when I am a grown-up, the film, unfortunately, is still stuck in its rebellious phase. But sadly, that’s where the good things end.Īs much as I enjoy the pros of Rockstar, the cons outweigh them. I remember being enchanted with his empty eyes while watching the film in the theatre, and 10 years later, he still had the same effect. The man gave his heart and soul to Jordan.
#ROCKSTAR MUSIC HINDI PRO#
Another major pro for the film was Ranbir Kapoor’s acting. With Mohit Chauhan giving the vocals, and Irshad Kamil penning the lyrics, the album of Rockstar was an instant classic, and in the years since, it has not lost even an ounce of its magic. AR Rahman gave one of the best Hindi film music albums with Rockstar and there are no two opinions about that.
