Having heard a lot of good things about Rock On!! a bunch of friends decided to watch the movie today. Last minute movie plans never works out in Bangalore. So we ended up in a friend's place with a pirated DVD with a decent print. The promos of the movie were a bit too hyped for my taste and I was skeptical about the movie. It started off on a good note and as it progressed I started to get drowsy! It was not coz of the movie, but coz I had not had a decent sleep for over a fortnight and was pooped. I was completely involved in the movie till the song Pichle saat dino mein. Making a mental note to get that song, I dozed off. The couch and my posture was soooo comfortable that my lights were completely out till I was woken up by the ROTFL from the rest of the gang. Effectively I slept on thru the movie Rock on!! Apparently the movie was pretty good. I listened to the music later on. The musical director trio have done a good job tinkering with a bit of bass and grunge from an electric guitar to give it the rock feel. The lyrics suck and it is not 'rock' per say but who cares. It has good tracks and catchy tunes. So I'd give a thumbs up for the movie. An honest attempt to make a contemporary movie, away from the mainstream ideas of bollywood. Not sure how it performed at the box office but I will have to watch it completely before I decide to like or dislike the movie!
And by the way I vaguely remember seeing Anu Malik giving suggestions about music to somebody in the movie. Anu Malik? Puhlease! Even Bappi Lehari or Baba Sehgal would have been a better choice! Well, everyone is entitled to make one mistake. Right?
Cheers!
