Rock On!! : by Abhishek Kapoor

Aditya ( Farhan) ,
Joe (Arjun) ,
Rob(Luke) .
KD(Purab) ... have created Magik(the band name) .

Rock on!! is simply an exhilarating experience for any cine goer who has been aspiring to be a Rock Star sometime in his/her life .

Its about chasing your dreams and pursuing what you are passionate about !!!

The story starts with a band of 4 friends , in glory of making it big , staging concerts in front of huge crowds , getting contract deals and all the moolah ..

In all this the friendship fades into oblivion , as rifts widens distances

Years later fate conspires to bring them together again and set them on a journey back to where they left off... a soul-searching journey into their past...

Prachi Desai plays Farhan's Wife in the film , has done exceptionally well in portraying a woman in search of her husband who is running away from his past! ..

Key Moments which I felt were too many too list :) :) ..


  • Band Magik jamming sessions , the money raising gig ( is just hilarious)
  • The Band signing the music contract.
  • Prachi's non-tiring effort in bringing happiness in their lives.
  • Purab and Luke's one-liners put a smile on your face , stages a reunion for the band.
  • The End-Credits where in the band re-unites and bury the hatchet.
Special Mention : The supporting ensemble is terrific in terms of the Arjun's wife played by Shahana Goswami and Koel Puri playing Prachi's friend!!

Music .. more than words , it is melodic Rock to the core , not for hardcore Metal guys , but it works , BIGGG TIME!!

Credit goes to Farhan for bringing a new flavour to alternative rock with his husky unique voice and Shankar Ehasaan Loy in tapping it in full force ....
My Fav Tracks :
  1. Sinbad the Sailor
  2. Rock On!!
  3. Phir Dekhiye
  4. Ye Tumahari Meri Baatein.
  5. Pichle Saat Dino Mein
.... Farhan excels as an actor and so does his bandwagon!!

Rock On!!!! ..... KICKSS ASS

Rating : 4.5/5.0
