Rock On!! director Farhan Akhtar and TV star Prachi Desai’s acting debut is directed by Abhishek Kapoor. Quite frankly I expected nothing from Rock On!! as the director’s last movie on boxing titled Aryan (Sohail Khan) was poor. A text message from a friend, who had been to the preview show came as a pleasant suprise. His message read “Rock on is too good. Must watch!” and fortunately thats exactly what it turned out to be.

Rock On!! is about 4 extremely talented musicians; Aditya (Farhan Akhtar), Joe (Arjun Rampal), Rob (Luke Kenny) and K.D (Purab Kohli). The four friends come together to form a band named Magik and are soon on a look out for that big break. Their dream is to make Magik the biggest band the country has ever seen, but they dont make it and due to a misunderstanding they part. A decade later, they come together and continue from where they left off… Rock On!! is about relationships, dreams, failures, fate and life. Continue Reading »
