Recently, I was watching the new music vedios of rockstar on youtube and found some criticisms of it on the basis that rehman was not able to do justice to the rock music. I have myself heard rock music and had tried to follow it. So, somehow I have a little knowledge about it. Taking everything as a whole, I think Imtiaz ali has intentionally chosen rehman over others and rehman too, having sense of the taste of indians have put music which doesn’t exhibit hatred, anguish or frustration but is more that gives the feel of completeness and cravig for the supreme. Also, he has shown through his music the spiritual journey of the lead character. As soon as the music sways in our ears, the soulfulness of it is felt. The enjoyment that is produced makes one restless, in the sense it inspires one to have ethereal aims.
Ranbir kapoor has surpassed all the bars and has reached to a pedestal where he can be counted among the great heroes and the efforts of imtiaz ali behind it can be seen. Ranbeer is almost like ascetic in the movie. He is just like a “modern saint” going through the narrow lanes, exploring and discovering the self, through music. the listless dressing and the monk like expression all the time, away from the world but still a part of it is well portrayed by him. The picturisation also heightens the effect that the director is trying to build up. I specifically liked the picturisation of quwalli and the song “jo bhi main”. Speaking individually of them, quwalli is composed in a manner that the feel of spiritualism can be easily felt by a common man and ranbeer in the song “jo bhi main” appears as fully in the spirit of it. The feel of the song is nicely carried by him, i.e; a sufi, fully in the halo of his god, unaware of the eyes, unaware of the effect he is creating in the minds of people. All in all everything, leaving the story (as I dnt knw) is heightning the feel that imtiaz ali is intending at.
