Rockstar

Rockstar (2011) charts the tumultuous rise and fall of Janardhan, a college student adrift in a sea of mediocrity, who yearns for artistic transcendence through music. Heartbreak serves as his muse, unlocking a torrent of creative genius, but also precipitating a descent into chaos and self-destruction. Director Imtiaz Ali's portrait is a raw, unflinching exploration of the price of inspiration, where the quest for greatness is entwined with the unraveling of sanity.
