Rock On.....

Kaale neele Peele Hum hain Zehreeley......

After being tortured by Singh is Kingg I thought of watching Rock On with absolutely no expectations and therefore didn't even bother to read the reviews. But thinking about it now I feel that it was a good decision as I watched the movie with a fresh mind and was able to relish every second of it. What struck me the most was the flow of the movie with constant juggling between the past and the present lives of the protagonists. The movie had a good pace and at no point of time would you feel that the scene was being dragged or out of place. The scene where the four are about to sign the contract was depicted exactly how a bunch of wannabees,not sure of what they really want would react.
I would like to mention the performance of Luke Kenny playing the character of Rob Nancy as an eye catcher and an absolute delight. The actor portrays a cancer patient who jokes about loosing all the hair to chemotherapy saying that the fashion of long hair was gone.
but the revelation of the movie is undoubtedly farhan Akhtar who after showing his talent as a prolific director has conquered yet another territory with a brilliant performance. The facial expressions were perfect and you could notice no tinge of overplaying the part.
The music is catchy although not as good as it could have been,maybe due to the theme of the movie which didnt allow scope for regular bollywood music.
the movie comes to a soft ending with the best song being performed by the band which was ironically rejected by the producer when the band was making the album ten years ago.
The performances of Arjun Rampal and Purab Kohli are also to be appreciated.
