What I felt about Rock On!!!

Everyone loved rock on!!! There was everything in it that a successful film wants to be, well, successful. I went to see the movie in the local mall,(which i rarely do….piracy rocks!!) with all the stars in its ratings dazzling infront of my eyes and all the hype of the movie submerging every other sound that this world has been able to produce. Well, to make a long story short, this is what I witnessed:-
Farhan akhtar, a guy with three friends who dreams of making a successful rock band, though the lead singer can shoot a flock of birds with his voice and other guys seem pretty dejected wondering how the hell they came to be sitting beside such strange looking instruments. With a beautiful song the scene ends. I was still pretty enthusiastic.
Next we see the lives of various band members who have “by odd games of fate” been separeted from each-other. The lead singer Farhan akhtar goes on carrying his daily life in a pretty bored manner, and I was left wondering why…..that was…until the film introduces us to his wife. Prachi is someone (yupp, all we know about her is that she is farhan’s wife, “and pretty bored and boring”, till the end of film). She carries an expression that would make anyone seeing her get an instant emotional turmoil, guaranteed!! After this I started losing track of things……
Somehow someday she ends up meeting an old friend of farhaan who due to some reason believes that everybody with his 10 year old friends name is his 10 year old friend whom he hasn’t met for 10 years. After meeting her Prachi has a  sudden desire to go through cleaning and re-arranging of her house, which she has probably postponed since her marriage as she comes upon a hitherto unnoticed box that farhaan packed 10 years ago and forgot to unpack.I started feeling drowsy…
We saw a few flashbacks into past of the bosom friends that together formed Magik, this was the name of their band. They were best friends and so close that they always ended up bathing together in ponds while their girlfriends watched….. :O or would go and get photographs taken in weird places like empty swimming pools….for reasons not discussed in the movie..
Arjum Rampal , the hot-headed, alpha male, king of…whatever, has now grown a beautiful lock of hair that would make more than a few girls jealous…..and lives happily playing his guitar while his wife does all the work…an inspiration for people like me….His wife manages a fishery, refuses adamantly to pay her employees and looks pretty senti about the fact that all she has to weat are fishes……hmmm..something smells fishy
Meanwhile, Prachi(farhaan’s bored wife) decides to throw a party and invite all of Farhaan’s friends…Farhaan is visibly disappointed, he hoped for something more “exciting” probably..
We see that the band was broken due to some petty reason like Farhaan taking up all the footage in their music video and agreeing to not letting Arjun’s girlfriend do styling in it and Arjun Rampal getting angry and beating the director(producer ?) to a pulp over it….and all the people around me definitely felt that it was Arjun’s fault….haah!!
Then by some cruel joke of fate the band decides to reunite and re-create the magic of MAGIK (which , for all practical purposes, never existed in the first place).
Suddenly when everything seemed to be coming to an end (I was sooooo happy) Luke Kenny suddenly becomes terminally ill, in a matter of hours and gives a serious jolt to reuniting of band. On the other hand, Arjun Rampal’s wife is in tears trying to put some sense into him that he has a family to look after and so he should do the work on a cruise. Frankly, I would learn guitar if I had a chance to go on a cruise but Arjun has heart of gold. He decides to leave his wife an the middle of a traffic jam to join his friends in the performance they are delivering. And somehow manages to reach there on foot well in time..
Well they play the song, Luke dies( dont laugh!!!), and everyone else seems to be living pretty happily, though i still wonder how the radical change in their life-styles was, in anyway, affected by reuniting of the band, unless of course Farhaan started looking after Arjun’s family as well..
I could have cried when I left the movie……..
