ROCK ON !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MALE BONDS !

Watching Rock On, was a real rocking experience!!The movie lived up to its name,and was really rocking!!! The story is simple,revolving around a Rock Band,called Magic,which breaks up due a rift between the the singer,played by Farhaan Akhtar and the guitarist,played by Arjun Ramphal,over a commercial contact deal.Farhan settles in life,with a good business and family,but is unable to get out of the blues of loosing the band and more than that the friend.His wife,Sakshi,played by Prachi Desai.notices the gloom around him,and ,in a very touchy manner,tries to bring happiness back in his and rather their life,by re uniting the band.The reunion of the friends and the band was touchy and the story ends on a happy note with the band performing in public amongst a very warm response from the audience! The story around the Rock Band ,gives the movie a resemblance to Jhankaar Beats,but the band is just a backdrop.to tell the story of friendship and emotions involved in Male Bonding,a theme so close to Farhaan Akhtar's heart,almost in continuation from his debut film,Dil Chahta hai.The story is simple,but with a relateable screenplay and contemporary dialogues.The presentation and depiction are spontaneous and succeed in creating the impact,and the emotions between a couple,and that of two mature close male friends,are beautifully expressed without any melodrama.The music is melodious and above all the songs besides being rocking are enchanting and mesmerising,especially,tum jo ho and teri meri batein! Farhan Akhtar has proved beyond doubt that he is multi talented and an all rounder,and like his directional debut in Dil Chahta Hai,he has performed superbly in this movie with his debut as an actor and singer.Arjun Ramphal has looked very realistic,and has again given a good performance.Prachi has acted very well too,considering that this is her debut film too,and has succeeded to maintain the popularity she got as Bani in her maiden TV serial Kasam Se.Other stars ,especially Purav Kohli,as the drummer of the band have performed well too. Rock On,is a great entertainer and a must see for all cine lovers of all ages! Sanjay Kapoor Lucknow
