Rock On!!!

Yesterday I saw Rock On!! , a movie which I had put on my 'Must See' list the very first time I saw the trailer on TV almost a month ago. I still remember getting all excited seeing Farhan Akhtar as a rock star. I am a big fan of all the movies he's directed and I was looking forward to him acting and singing in this movie. The only thing that made me think in a sceptical way as to how the movie would turn out was the fact the movie was not directed by him. Thankfully, Abhishek Kapoor (director, also Ekta Kapoor's cousin) has not let us down. :-)

We got stuck in traffic which is quite usual on a Saturday night in Chennai and finally, when we reached the theatre, all of us started running through the parking lot, ran up the stairs only to find out we climbed an extra floor, ran down the stairs and finally made it to our seats just before the movie began. I was crossing my fingers (and toes), hoping the movie would not be a letdown (considering the number of Bollywood movies that are flops....and also the fact that I had to run...a lot....to make sure we didn't miss anything...).

I am glad that I was not disappointed. The movie definitely had a rock concert flavour to the songs that were performed on stage. My friends and I along with the audience sang along to the songs and had a really good time. I can’t say for sure it’s a superb movie...because I am not really sure whether people who don’t like rock songs would enjoy the movie or not. Or in my mother's words about rock songs, "Chevy vedina paattu" which means "Songs that pain the ears" ...hehe...

This movie....definitely not to be missed!! Check out the trailer.
