Review: Rock on!!

So, last night I was conned into buying discounted paid preview tickets for Rock On screening at Metro Adlabs. I went there all hyped up thinking of catching a glimpse of the Rock On crew and general P3 types crowd. But I was let down. Cast/crew chhodo, acchi ladkiyon ki bhi kami thi! Anyways, but I was not let down by the movie.

Superb music - especially if you like rock (you'll like it even otherwise). Heard such good Hindi rock after a long time - nice lyrics and singing. Superb acting by the entire cast - never knew Arjun Rampal could act well. Superb singing by Farhaan Akhtar.

Movie is a tad slow and dwells upon each character and relationship and lets it build. But, I guess that's required. That's how the audience connects with each character.

Loved the end note - "Don't download the music. Buy the CD!" Heh, I will. Hope you will too. I wonder why these guys don't sell music CDs + posters + t-shirts right outside the movie hall. I'm sure I would've bought a CD without a second thought had I seen a stall right after I stepped out after watching the movie.

PS: Vote for it on the IMDB page for Rock On!!

  3. I actually walked up to near-by CD stores to buy the CD - but they were sold out. I finally drove to Rhythm House and picked up the CD from there.

    Love the movie and it's music. Should post a blog on it very soon.
