****1/2Watching Rock on!! was like being transported to the day when our whole PG batch was watching DCH and guess what , this time I was watching it with office colleagues. One of my friends so aptly put it, "the movie world is changing with us"
This movie is definitely not about Rock music its about relationships in the backdrop of chasing ones dreams, making compromises , living life as per norms.
The movie is also about Rock music , complete with an "inspired" climax stage design from the Pink Floyd PULSE concert . All the tracks are awesome and after seeing the movie you will enjoy the tracks even more . In fact Farhan Akhtar is a revelation his imperfect voice is what gives depth to the songs. A rock song video simply wouldn't work when you know the guy is only lipsyncing. The songs just grow on you. Dominique is another revelations - great voice she has.
The only hitch, unlike DCH where you could identify yourself with at least one of the 3 characters or a mix of 2 , here not all the characters are fleshed out properly. You only get the hang of Aditya and Joe but the other two are merely sidelined and you cannot connect. Have taken half a star out just because of it. But again this is only because of the phenomenal precedence of a movie called DCH !
Thoroughly enjoyed it and reiterated my belief till now ; you may be good at your job but it doesn't mean that you like doing it. It is upto you to make a choice , and if you don't make your destiny somebody else will .
Cheers Enjoy
