The film Rock On brings together the team of Ridesh Sidwani, Farhan Akhtar who made Dil Chahta Hai with director Abhishek Kapoor. Even the movie Rock On seems to portray the essence of friendship albeit in a different narration, does call for a round of applause for a theme which might not be so popular in India i.e. RockThe story is all about four friends forming a rock band called Magik with Aditya ( Farhan Akhtar) the lead vocalist, Joe ( Arjun Rampal) the guitarist, KD ( Purab Kohli) on the drums and Rob ( Luke Kenny) on the keyboard, out to cut out an album. Something goes awry and the friends who shared the same passion drift away, each leading their own life.

Aditya is an investment banker with a beautiful wife ( Prachi Desai) who he tries to appease, but is not really happy in life. Joe manages his guitar shop and is at the receiving end from his wife Debbie ( Sahana Goswami) as she is the lone bread earner for the family. Rob does some petty assignments with some big music directors and KD seems an odd man out in his rich dad’s business.A decade later Aditya’s wife intends to bring the estranged friends together and revive Magik. But each of the four friends have some tough decisions as they embark on a soul searching and to work upon a passion which they once commonly shared between them.
Director Abhishek Kapoor has captured the fragility of relationships on the celluloid with compelling ease. Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy;s music just rocks, in a way the music reviews are justified. Jason West’s cinematography is fine. Screenplay and dialogues are okay. Farhan Akhtar has emerged as an actor and a singer, with no signs of debutante syndrome to be seen in his performance. Arjun Rampal surprises with one of his finest performances till date. Purab Kohli is tremendous coupled with his natural flair for comedy. Luke Kenny is cool as cucumber and is quite persuasive in his role. Prachi Desai scores a point with her poise and competent acting. Sahana Goswami is another talent to watch out.The movie Rock On has the blended concoction of some outstanding performances, engulfing emotions and topping it is the execution of the entire theme. I have a gut of the film Rock On going to rock the box-office as well.
