Rock On Movie Review

The "Magik" has done its magic. Rock On is rocking the box office in India and rest of the world and its sure to continue for some time to come.
Rock On is based on 4 friends who make their own rock band but break up due to some misunderstanding and ego. Adi (Farahan Akthar) is living his not- so-perfect married life with Sakshi (Prachi Desai), but sooner she founds out that this is not the Adi of the past. This is when she decides to reunite Magik - the band, after 10 long years. From there the movie is magikal....
The best highlight of the movie is its screenplay, camera, music and lyrics.
The screenplay is so fantasic and the transition between past and present is just perfect. The camera is so well handled that the scene becomes very natural and realistic. You cannot even decide that whether they band actually plays the instruments or just pretending because the angles will never let you judge.
Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy has done a great job. The Music is just roking and full of energy, but i think its not rock music. Most of the music were Jazz in the movie, thats what i felt according to my music knowledge. I could be wrong. The lyrics are very simple and natural and it makes you realize that there is a poet residing inside each and everyone of us and that we can make a song or poem from the normal words that we use in our daily life. Sindbad the sailor, pichle saat dino mein and socha hai songs are pure magic.
Rock On is a very different kind of movie and a must watch for all movie and music fans. This is a great blend of music and movie where neither of them let you down.
As its truly said in the movie, Life is all about compromise.
Aakhir compromise kaun nahi karta yaar.So Rock On and Keep Roking!!!!!
Plus: Excellent Story, Good Music, Great Screenplay and direction
Minus: I felt the movie in litte slow in few places
Overall Rating : 4/5
Harish
