I saw Rockstar (2011) sometime last year after years of cajoling by some of my students, and I still can't get over how ridiculous that movie is 🤦:
1. I'm myself an amateur / semi professional musician and know first hand the amount of practice it takes. You don't lounge around outside college, keep acting silly, and suddenly find yourself playing at a pro level. So the entire depiction of Ranbir Kapoor's journey to stardom is an outright bunch of nonsense 😅! Such depictions are misleading and can convey a completely wrong picture to youngsters with real musical dreams and aspirations. If you're not forgetting everything else and practicing for at least 6-8 hours a day, you're not getting anywhere - period.
2. Given that the role of Pakistan's ISI in creating unrest in Kashmir, that eventually lead to the ethnic cleansing of Kashmiri Hindus, is well established, how on Earth do we allow a Pakistani actress to come in and portray a Kashmiri Hindu woman as a bimbo with no other interests other than watching porn. How? What has gone wrong with our movie industry?
We the audience need to be way more firm than we are today in refusing to watch junk. Movies that deserve to flop at the box office really ought to flop - no matter who the big names and no matter how hard the advertising!
