Rock On!!

When I first saw the trailer of Rock On! on tv it looked like one of the regular bollywood movies based on a group of youngsters from some Mumbai college. I didn’t think I’d end up watching it.

Well, the music got me interested, thanks to the loads of FM radio stations in Mumbai…we haven’t had many ‘hindi’ rock songs which could make a mark anywhere close to the English rock songs…not even close to Bryan Adams (for those who still think he is a rockstar!)…one can now definitely compare the music of Rock On! to the likes of GnR…believe me, its really that great! Thanks to Shankar Ehsaan Loy and the husky rockstar voice of Farhan Akhtar, I didn’t know that he could sing but he has done an amazing job...i specially liked the Zehleeray song!

Impressed by the music I had to watch the movie on a big screen. The movie is flawless. The acting is perfect, the direction is perfect, the music is perfect, the casting couldn’t have been better. When you see the movie you get a feeling that first the casting was done and then the screenplay was written to fit every actor.
The concept is something that hasn’t been tried in Indian cinema before, or if it was it would have failed so miserably that I don’t remember anything on this subject…we have seen many Hollywood, movies based on the stories of musical bands…it felt good to see such a movie in bollywood and that too done beautifully…

Farhan Akhtar’s debut as an actor will make you wonder why he has been hiding behind the silver screen for such a long time…he has the intensity of Aamir Khan.
The script is very realistic the use of ‘heavy’ dialogues has been avoided, giving it a very natural feel. Music has been used at the appropriate places, making the movie, as I already said, flawless!
