Well, I asked my wife to watch this movie together as it gets nominated in 2019 Oscars. After first 20 minutes, she just paused the media player, turned towards me and asked, "Have you seen Aashiqui 2, a Indian musical drama movie released in 2013?" I didn't watch that so I said no. She told me the starting 20 minutes she watched is almost similar to the Indian movie. Then we start to watch it again. After an hour it starts to torture us with horrible acting of Bradley Cooper and his voice. Lady Gaga not an actress mate! Please concentrate on your voice, its for music not for drama. Okay, then after 1.5 hours my wife told me the ending of the Indian film. She bets that 'A star is born' is fully copied from 'Aashiqui 2'. It was hard to believe, but at the end of the movie I see that the ending is just like my wife said before. I guess Hollywood has reached a critical point where they are unable to find good scripts! That's why this type of old remakes are still in the box office and alas! people are buying that too. Such a waste of time!

Last but not the least, why the hell Cooper is so indulged in drugs? It is neither answered in the movie nor Lady Gaga tried to find out. Such a poor plot.
