ROCKSTAR, ? RATING ( 2 hr & 40 min )



Quickie Review:  Janardan ( Ranbir Kapoor ) is an aspiring Indian rock musician. But nobody takes him seriously because of his pedestrian musical efforts.  Until he learns that all great artists suffered heartaches before they made names for themselves.  So, he goes and woos the most popular and most beautiful heart-breaker on campus, Heer ( Nargis Fakhri ),  simply to get his heart broken.  He soon becomes a famous rock star, as Jordan, but not without complications.

I liked the songs in this Tragic Musical Rom-Com movie.  But the basis for the principal characters'  friendship and their resultant  love affair were both tenuously-contrived, in my own opinion.

The audience, though,  seemed to enjoy it.  Some even gave it a "Hands Clapper" ending.  And one patron even whistled at the end.

P.S.  The Massage scene is probably the funniest scene in this movie.
