Rock On! Another release of this week from the makers of Dil Chahta Hai and Lakshya. Much before its release, the movie got lots and lots of publicity because of Farhan Akhtar (makes his debut as an actor and singer!) and rumors that it is Dil Chahta Hai Part 2.

ROCK ON is the story of four friends [Farhan Akhtar, Arjun Rampal, Purab Kohli, Luke Kenny] once-aspiring musicians who chucked up their dream of taking their band (named Magik) professional because of friction among the band members. But a reunion arranged by Prachi Desai (who plays Farhan’s wife) ten years later inspires them to consider returning together again and set them on a journey back to where they left off. The movie starts with the fast track “socha hai” and then slows down as it progresses.

Rock On as a movie is strong on the technical side with amazing Cinematography, Screenplay and the dialogues but fails miserably when it comes to the Story. Story of Rock On is predictable and one can easily guess what is going to happen in the next scene. The area in which this movie scores well is the performances by all the actors. Farhan in his debut performance is simply superb and clearly justifies how he made his actors deliver their best performances in his movies. But one person whose performance stands out through out the film is Purab Kohli.

Overall the film isn’t great but it is watchable because its different. Its full of drama, emotions so don’t expect any entertainment out of it.
