Upon release, the film received positive to mixed reviews. Critics highlighted Kapoor and Rahman as the stars of the film, but criticized the plot. The film did well at the box office, managing to appeal the youngsters in the cities. Made on a budget of ₹ 600 million (US$8.3 million), Rockstar grossed ₹ 1.08 billion (US$15 million) worldwide. Kapoor and Rahman received numerous awards for their work in the film.
A large crowd gathers outside the Verona Arena in Italy to watch the performance of rockstar Jordan. Despite being mobbed, he reaches the arena, storms onto the stage in a fit of rage and starts strumming on his guitar.
A flashback reveals the story of Jordan, whose real name is Janardhan Jhakar a.k.a. JJ, a boy from Delhi. He is studying at Law Faculty, Delhi University and dreams of being a rockstar like Jim Morrison, for which he is often laughed at by his friends and classmates. Khatana, the canteen owner, tells JJ that one thing common among all artists is a life-altering heartbreak. JJ jokingly tells himself that since that hasn't happened yet, he won't be able to reach his idol had attained. JJ sees a beautiful girl rehearsing before a dancing contest called "Shut Up & Dance" when he and his friends go to the venue, as the contest is about to start. He watches the performance of Heer Kaul, a girl from St. Stephen's College, and overhears that she is the "perfect heartbreaking machine". He remembers the word of Khatana telling him that heartbreak is the way to become an artist, and decides to propose to Heer, but he suffers humiliation, which he sees as the perfect method for receiving the heart-break needed to achieve stardom. Over time, JJ and Heer become good friends, often going on adventures together and sometimes engaging in behaviour which the conservative JJ thinks is risky.
