My Take On Rock On!


'The Music permeate the Magik in Rock On!

Four college friends set together to accomplish their music dream, fall apart and push themselves to live a life which they could have easily avoided. Farhan Akhtar (Aditya) is the lead singer of Magik band along with Arjun Rampal (Joe) Guitarist, Purab Kohli ( KD) and Luke Kenny (Rob). Rock On is all about how they reunite to live for their dream.

The film, moving on Dil Chahta Hai Track, in initial frames where scenes run in from flashback to present, is soothing and worth watch, thanks to a brilliant camera work and heart-whelming music! The first half is crisped and keeps you glued, unlike the second half that helps you feel some 'so filmy' scenes.

Acting wise Farhan 'Actor' is fantastic. His screen presence is brilliant and fits the role given to him. Arjun Rampal also surprises with a decent performance, portraying a gloomy dissatisfied man. Luke Kenny justifies the music master role given to him, as he is in real life, and pulls out a splendid act. The man who manges to smile and make us feel light amidst this emotional drama, is undisputedly Purab Kohli. He has really managed to pull out a fabulous performance with the help of some funny lines.

The leading heroine Prachi Desai ( Sakshi) justifies her role as Aditya's wife and plays a crucial role in their reunion. Arjun Rampals screen wife Debby, plays a caring practical lady acting as a bridge in Rampal's carrer and family!

In a nutshell, a splendid performance from all the actors and and standing ovation for Abhishek Kapoor to choose this topic and deriving superb performance from the actors!
