The new Hindi movie, which is based on the famous Punjabi singer Amar Singh Chamkila who was killed aged 27, has been garnering positive feedback from all corners.

So without further ado, the list is as follows:
Rockstar (2011)
Ranbir Kapoor and Nargis Fakhri-starrer released in cinemas in November 2011, and the film became an instant hit.

We still cannot get over the songs 'Sadda Haq', 'Jo Bhi Main', 'Phir Se Udd Chala', 'Aur Ho', 'Kun Faaya Kun', and 'Tum Ho'. For the unversed, the soundtrack was composed by none other than AR Rahman.
