Rock on is On !

I had checked out 'Farhan Akhtar's debut acting movie "Rock On" , which released in theatres on August 27. The movie talks about a band of four. The band depicted resembles U2(or can be said to be inspired from the legendry band). Farhan plays the lead vocalist,Arjun Rampal plays the guitarist,Purab plays the drummer, while Luke Kenny plays the guy at the keyboards.

The movie is about the band's struggle along with time(as they face battles with other bands, and internal mutinies). The movie shows how these guys fight serious matters and emerge out as the winners.

The movie starts with a rehersal, which leads into the track "Socha Hai". All this happens within 5inutes of the starting of the movie(actually, even before the display of the title of the movie). The movie then moves to the future, from where it shows what had happened in the past to land them up in their current situations ( which is commonly seen in movies these days), and how do they stand clear of their problems and reunite themselves as a happy group.

All the actors - whether Farhan,Arjun,Luke,Purab, Koel Puri , or Prachi Desai(the newcomer in the movie) have perfomed well. Prachi has adopted a doll sort of a look in the movie, which happens to be her debut movie(way to go for her, her very first movie is a blockbuster).

Music has been a stronghold for the movie.Rock On,Sindbad The Sailor,Socha Hai,and all the other tracks are awsome and brilliant. Any rock fan(and i mean any) , would just feel the music in their veins, as the movie goes on.

I had heard some people saying that they expect that the movie was crap. Well, They were pathetically wrong. I expected it to be an average movie, if not good. Farhan Akhtar has a name in the Indian markets for producing great, trendsetting movies. His earlier two movies, Dil Chahta Hai(2001) and Lakshya(2006) were brilliant, and were in my list of great movies. Rock On brings another name in that list.
Also to say, the length of the movie is around 140mins(or a little more than 2hours), so its duration is also good. Farhan has made the movie "short","smart" and "snappy" !
I'd give it a 4 out of 5 , for the great music,great story, and excellent entertainment.So any of you who'd like to watch some movie these days, dont forget to check out 'Rock On' .
