Rock On !! [DVD]

Product description Rock On is the story of 4 friends who put together the
greatest band this country has ever seen, but never make it. Years later, fate
conspires to bring them together again and set them on a journey back to where
they left off, a soul-searching pilgrimage into their past. Review The best
thing about Rock On is that it's not about the music. So even if you've never
ever been to a concert or harboured fantasies of being a rock star, you are
immediately swept into this story of four friends and their rock band called
Magic. Rock On is about their relationships, their unfulfilled dreams and
their gnawing grief that life has passed them by. The music is a metaphor.
Follow your bliss, writer-director Abhishek Kapoor tells us in a film that is
sometimes derivative and often predictable but also so engaging and
exhilarating that by the climactic concert you are blinking back tears and
pumping your fist in the air.What connects here are the details. Abhishek sets
up his characters with a few deft strokes. The film works because the
performances enhance the fine writing.Farhan Akhtar who has sung four songs,
fills out his role nicely. As do Kholi and Kenny. But the real surprise is
Arjun Rampal who is bent over with sadness and longing. Shankar Ehsan and
Loy's music is skillfully interwoven so it doesn't impede the narrative but
advances it. The high-octane concert sequences are especially infectious.Rock
On is feel-good in the best sense of the word. I enjoyed it immensely and I
strongly recommend that you see it too. --platform47.com The best thing about
