Cast: Farhan Akhtar, Arjun Rampal, Purab Kohli, Luke Kenny
In a nutshell-Rock On is about fourtalented musicians: Adi,K.D,Joe n Rob.isfour friends come together to form a band named. Their dream is to make Magik the biggest band the country has ever seen, but something happens in between and they couldnt make it and due to a misunderstanding they part. A decade later, they come together and continue from where they left off.Rock On! is about relationships, dreams, failures, fate and life of this four friends.
The movies theme, and screenplay reminds you of DCH with friends having fun, fighting over misunderstanding, and finally making up but Rock on doesn’t have a story as good as DCH. DCH was a classic.Its rather a kind of a mix between Jhankaar beats, and DCH. On the upside, the musical theme of the film is ably supported by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy's rocking score with amateurish lyrics and a husky voice of Fahran Akhtar is a real crowd pullar.
You have to watch the film to see how intelligently and sensitively the songs have been used for special moments, when words would never be adequate. There is a scene when Aditya's wife Sakshi comes back to her estranged husband, only to see him jamming once again with his rocker friends. It is a special moment, because for the first time in four years, she sees him smile, for the first time, he actually has let his guard down and welcomes her into his life, inviting her on his journey. She watches, smiling, as her husband sings with his old friends, the musician in him shining through the facade of a cut and dry investment banker for the very first time. And that's when one of the most beautiful love ballads in the film Yeh Tumhari Meri Baatein takes over.
The weak points are loose script on predictable lines with very little surprises. And does not have strong enough reason for Aditya to break up with his then girlfriend.Dont you think so?
Acting by Fahran Akhtar is impressive as a rock star. Purab Kohli sizzles with his funny antics,has got a good screen and has totally done justice to his role. Luke is fine. Arjun Rampal suits his character with expressionless straight face, and long hair guitarist. Sahana Goswami has portrayed a vulnerable wife and egoistic/possessive girlfriend’s role very well, and pretty Prachi Desai has carried her role quite graciously.The movie has got good music which is what rocks it. It reignited my passion for playing guitar once again.So if you havent watched it yet,go for it guys!(along with your buddies)
Rating:4/5
