The Rockstars’ basti

The Rockstars’ bastiWhile Ranbir Kapoor may have played a fictional role of a grand star in his recent movie, Nizamuddin Basti has for real been flourishing and inspiring its inhabitants, says Rahul Devrani

Mohammed Umair has been greatly influenced by Ranbir Kapoor’s recent blockbuster Rockstar. Neither for his acting skills nor the script but for “the movie has successfully shown a ‘certain’ side of where I live, the Nizamuddin basti.” What turns out to be a blessed haven for Ranbir after he is thrown out by his family has, in fact, been a driving force since years for many locals like Umair in the Basti.
