Ask a western whats the commonest frustration an average Indian has and immediate reply would be "sex-deprivation".If you are on facebook,you must have noticed that its Indians who lead the number of fake profiles for dirty chatting online.Director Imtiaz Ali got it bang on here as the premise of Ranbir's Hornystar journey is the same - "sexual frustration".Even Ranbirs mentor in the film argued that music comes from pain and dissastisfaction. ;)So Ranbir had to look for a girl who would match his Horny-meter to pull the wild sex-hungry beast hidden inside him that would help him become a rockstar he always wanted to be.
Imtiaz is known for writing eccentric characters for his heriones in previous films which just about borders sluttiness but in anycase those were straight girls.But in Hornystar,he went a notch higher.Nargis fakri comes across as a bisexual :)
Agreed that she likes watching men pee and makes ranbir watch males stripping,but then she loves feeling and caressing nude women and Pros in topless bars and dressing like a man to watch B grade semiporn flicks in theatres.
She also suffers from a weird medical problem where her blood count is proportional to her sex count!The more she is deprived of sex,the worse her medical condition gets ranging from being unable to walk to as extreme as Coma lol!Imtiaz also shows how a single attempt at kiss can make her walk!
You must be thinking why am I talking about sex and not about Ranbirs journey as a Rockstar.Lets be clear,there is no journey here.Its more a failed sex story between two people who have unmatchable sex count :)
The only moments were you feel the movie stuck to its supposed theme are the ones that Ranbir provides with his buffoneries in first half and even for most of the second half as the sexually deprived rockstar.Songs have been trimmed poorly though Saada Haq and Nadaan Parindey is shot well.
There is a lot of sexual tension betweem Ranbir and Nargis throughout the film but still one never quite feels the chemistry so to speak.More so,because Nargis is a pathetic actress.Although she has wild fantasies.The chemistry feels more like a protected sex where the pleasure is missing :D
Which brings me to the climax.In a nutshell,the climax reminds me of Kites minus the ocean with an imaginary Nargis walking upto Ranbir on stage under proper spotlight and all lol :D
I could not figure out that the movie had ended only until the Cinemax staff opened the Fire exit for us to leave so you can imagine :)
