Imtiaz Ali is known for making movies catering to the audience chasing their dreams or adjusting their lives with their dreams. Rockstar movie is one of those jewels.
Released on November 11 in 2011, that is 11/11/11, Imtiaz Ali already made sure that people treat it special, and no doubt they did.
Rockstar movie shows a life of a teenager who had everything in his life except a goal. Moreover, he was also single and doesn't have a love life.
The journey of Janardhan Jakhar(just another teenage boy) to Jordan(a rockstar) won everyone's hearts. Ranbir Kapoor did justice to the character and played a fantabulous role as the lead cast in the movie. Nargis Fakhri was the lead female cast as Heer Kaul in the Rockstar movie.
It would be unfair to reveal the story of the movie here. If you have already watched it, then I suppose you must be able to relate to the above content, and if not, you must watch it.
One of the important ingredients of a successful movie is music. The Rockstar movie has the best of these guys in the industry for it. A. R. Rahman, Neeraj Shridhar, and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan were the music directors.
No doubt, the album has to be a hit. Even after more than a decade, I can assure you, a lot of us must be having these songs on our playlist.
Let's have a look at the iconic songs of the Rockstar movie:
1. Sadda Haq
Singer: Mohit Chauhan
Lyricist: Irshad Kamil
Music: A. R. Rehman
Talking about today's generation, one thing you'll hear from all the older people is that, "We are Rebels!" And the main reason behind it is the reasoning we do before accomplishing any task, at least that's what I think.
Sadda Haq from Rockstar movie became an anthem for this generation as everyone could relate to it.
Marzi se jeene ki bhi main
Kya tum sabko arzi doon
Matlab ki tum sab ka mujh pe
Mujh se bhi zyada haq hai
Sadda Haq Aithe Rakh
2. Kun Faya Kun
Singer: A.R. Rahman, Javed Ali, Mohit Chauhan
Lyricist: Irshad Kamil
Music: A. R. Rehman
Kun Faya Kun from Rockstar movie is another treasure from the album. It is a Sufi song and will bless your ears with its soulful music and lyrics.
Mann ke, mere yeh bharam Kachche, mere yeh karam
Leke chale hain kahaan, Main to jaanu hi na,
Tu hai mujh mein samaaya, kahaan leke mujhe aaya,
Main hoon tujh mein samaaya, tere peeche chala aaya,
Tera hi main ik saaya, tune mujhko banaya,
Main toh jag ko naa bhaaya,
Tune gale se jagaya, haq tu hi hai khudaya,
Sacch tu hi hai khudaya aa,
Kun faaya kun
3. Naadan Parindey
Singer: Mohit Chauhan
Lyricist: Irshad Kamil
Music: A. R. Rehman
The deep and soulful lyrics will give you goosebumps. This song reflects the pain and loneliness that a listener can feel it.
Rockstar movie had an album, which can turn anyone, despite their age, fall for it.
Koi bhi le rasta, tu hai tu mein basta
Apne hi ghar aayega tu
O Nadaan,
O Nadaan parindey ghar aaja
4. Phirse Ud Chala

We all have regrets in life! This song from the Rockstar movie can be an optimistic reply to all of them.
Mitti jaise sapne yeh, kitna bhi palkon se,

Itne saare sapne kya kahoon
Kis tarah se maine, tode hain chode hain,
Kyun, Phir saath chale, mujhe leke ude yeh Kyun!
5. Tum Ho
Singer: Mohit Chauhan, Suzanne D’Mello
Lyricist: Irshad Kamil

Aao bewajah chale,
Poochhe Bina, kisi se Ham mile!
6. Jo Bhi Mai
Singer: Mohit Chauhan
Lyricist: Irshad Kamil
Music: A. R. Rehman
Rockstar movie has a unique and versatile music album. Every song is simply perfect in its way. This song can be the perfect track for an overthinker.
Kabhi mujhe lage ki jaise,
Saara hi ye jahaan hai jaadu,
Jo hai bhi aur nahi bhi hai ye
Fiza, Ghata, Hawa, Baharein
Mujhe kare, ishaare ye, Kaise kahoon,
Kahani main innki, Jo bhi main kehna chahoon,
Barbaad kare alfaaz mere!
7. Aur Ho
Singer: Mohit Chauhan, Alma Ferovic
Lyricist: Irshad Kamil
Music: A. R. Rehman
Aur Ho from Rockstar movie is an intimate romantic song. One can feel the boldness along with helplessness while listening to it.
Is lamhe me kya kar doon main,
Jo mujhe chain mile, aaram mile,
Aur ho, aur ho, saans ka shor ho,
Aanch bhi aur badhe!
8. Hawa Hawa
Singer: Mohit Chauhan
Lyricist: Irshad Kamil
Music: A. R. Rehman
Hawa Hawa from the Rockstar movie is a storytelling song. The song is performed on a street portraying the plot of the movie with a few tweaks.
Sone ki deewaren, Mujhe khushi naa ye de paayein,
Aye aazadi de de mujhe, Mere Khuda….
Le le tu daulat aur kar de riha,
Hawa Hawa!
9. Katiyan Karun
Singer: Sapna Awasthi, Harshdeep Kaur
Lyricist: Irshad Kamil
Music: A. R. Rehman
The song expresses the joy of freedom. We all love to sing and dance when we are overjoyed with happiness. Nargis is seen doing the same in this song from the Rockstar movie.
Nachdi Phirun Tap Di Phirun, Killi Main Napdi Phiru,
Hadd Karun Hadd Karun Hadd Karun Roon Roon!
10. Sheher Mein
Singer: Mohit Chauhan, Karthik
Lyricist: Irshad Kamil
Music: A. R. Rehman
Sheher Mein is a fun song. The other tracks from the Rockstar movie are so good that this gets overshadowed.
Sheher mein hun main tere,
Aake mujhe mil toh le,
Dena na tu kuch magar,
Aake mera dil toh tu lele jaana!
The music album of the Rockstar movie is one of the best to date. Now, let's look at the iconic dialogues from this masterpiece of Imtiaz Ali.
1. Tu Na, badi cool lagti Hai Mujhe, aur hot bhi kitni hai tu, Kamal combo hai na? hot cool same time!
This dialogue from the Rockstar movie is a nice startup line to approach a girl. (Singles can a take note)
2. I love you, girlfriend Banja Meri!
Beating around the bush is useless. Go direct and use this Rockstar movie dialogue to propose your love straightaway.
3. Dil todne ki Machine hai ye!
The character of Jordon and his immense love for Heer have made him a short-tempered man. He used all his emotions in his songs.
We can relate this dialogue to a lot of songs from the Rockstar movie.

Songs without emotions are of no use. This Rockstar movie dialogue express the same.
8. Jab Dil tootta hai, Halak se niwala nahi utarta hafto tak!
We all have a different way of dealing with our heartbreaks. But a common way is by not eating food. It's not like one does not want to eat it, but when a heart breaks, one loses its senses for a while. This dialogue from the Rockstar movie is a reference to it.
9. Jab tak taklif na ho na life me, koi bada nahi banta!
I guess, the first thing that comes to our mind after reading this is, "Thukra ke mera Pyaar, mera inteqaam dekhegi!"

Rockstar movie is an emotion. The songs, dialogues, storyline, and literally everything is just perfect. Movies like these are just made once in an era. It is a must-watch.
I hope, we get to see a lot more such movies, not just from Imtiaz Ali but from other directors as well.
