Rock On | Farhan Akhter Debutent Movie|

If you wish to feel a difference or if you believe in friendship, watch Rock On. If you wish to experience the highs and lows of friendship watch Rock On. If you liked Dil Chahata Hai then you should surely need to watch the movie. The film reminds you about the years back blockbusters Dil Chahata Hai where friends re-unite after a period of annoyance. In Bollywood, many films are based on music but Rock On is a compilation of friendship and rock band.

Band is a new as well as a flourishing concept. Farhan Akhtar has captures this unique concept to showcase his acting talent. He ruled throughout the film. The concept and the characterization is not deviated from the normal. You will able to relate with most of the incidents and characters. Freindship and barrier in the relationship is not a new concept but the way it has been captured and synchronized is praiseworthy.

The moment the film unfolds, it grabs all your attention. The film again revives the true meaning of friendship and shows that this sacred relationship is unaffected by time and distance. Music unites the fours gems, music separates them and again the same music re-unites them.

The story is about a band named Magik formed by four close buddies Aditya (Farhan Akhtar), a lead vocalist, Joe (Arjun Rampal), guitarist, Rob (Luke Kenny) drummer and KD (Purab Kohli), keyboardist. This group of four music maestros formed a music band named Magik.

The film takes you to the flashback where life was shown green and grand. Music echoed all around and pain and sufferings were miles away. Suddenly transition occurred and four friends moved in four different directions. Aditya married to Shakshi (Prachi Desai) and Joe to his longtime girlfriend Debbie played by debutante Shahana Goswami. In spite of knowing each other for several years, they hold differences in opinion. They do not find solace in each other’s company.

With Shakshi’s endeavor, the four souls that dance to the same tune of music re-unite a long hiatus. Life took a new birth. Although the film drags too longer at times, it does not get into your nerves. It will absorb your interest and make you feel worth watching.

The film excels in the acting department. Everyone is top-notch, especially Farhan Akhtar, Arjun Rampal and Shahana Goswami. Luke Kenny and Purab Kohli are equally good. The bahu of Indian television Prachi Desai brings freshness to the screen. She gets a challenging role to show off her acting capability and to a great extent, she succeeds. Cinematography is first rate. Music by Ehsaan-Loy-Shankar scores high. Lyrics by Javed Akhtar are great fun. Director Aditya Kapoor showed his competence.

In a nutshell, Rock On will definitely rock at the box office and will pull huge crowd at the multiplexes. It will highly appeal the youth of today who believes in the institution of friendship.
