Rock On………Zindagi milegi na Dobara…

30/08/08:

The Background:
Date: 29/08/08....Time: approx 5.15 p.m....I am in a meeting at Fort when i receive a call from Pradeep....I disconnect….then I receive an sms frm him…Call. Urgent.... I excuse myself from the meeting and call and the voice at other end says…dude u hav to book tickets…we r goin for Rock on …excellent reviews 4 stars……n I say to myself wat the hell n saying I ll call later I disconnect the phone….6. p.m…I call him up and then the time and theatre coordination for the movie, keeping the costing in mind….Sterling 10.30 p.m…Rs 150 and Inox 8.30 p.m Rs 250….but then considerin we ll have to leave for home at 1.30 in a cab if we opt for Sterling, suddenly Inox appeared cheaper and again wat was I to do from 6-10.30 as der was no point in goin bak to office….So we decide for 8.30 Inox….by 6.15, tickets are booked ..3 of us…me, mihir and pradeep with buoy (Ramaiy) and Mayur ditching us,,,but wat the hell was I to do from 6.30-8 p.m (had asked them to reach by 8)….well i only had a cell in my hand and made full use of it….. called 12ppl (xcluding mom) out of which 2 numbers came busy, 3 never picked up the fone (thou 1 returned the call later), 5 said they r busy n wil call later (out of which 4 actually called…not bad) and got thru to 2 directly (my gud luck!!!)…seemed lyk whole world was busy except me…anyways the objective was achieved…managed to pass time till those guys came….went to the food court ….surprised not to see a single soul there …n 1 cheese tomato sandwich n 1 pasta is ordered (n ther goes my diet plan again for tosss….roz apne sar ki kasam khata hoon ke tmrw onwards I ll diet which never happens…..but I guess its high time….mujhe kisi aur ki kasam khaani chahiye….not that I blv in all dat but u never kno cant really take chances wit my sar….lolz..)…..

The Movie:

8.40 p.m (yes a delayed start): Starts with trailers of Karzzzz (yippeeeee paisa toh idharich vasool…some whistle blowing wen Monty (arre apna Himess ) is on screen.lolzzzz)…..n now for the movie:

To say in 1 word: BRILLIANT….superb ….extraordinary…..the movie revolves around the lives of 4 friends and their music band..Magik (yes its K)….A typical Farhan Akthar movie starts in the Present , cut to past and then back to present….this 1 was different both past and present were running simultaneously….
The movie starts with the band of 4 performing “Socha Hai” (great music…luved the song….awesome lyrics)
As, the movie progresses, the relationships… between the 4 friends, between Farhan (the movie belongs to him) and Prachi (looks beautiful and great emotions) , Arjun Rampal and Shabana Goswami (she s very gud in the movie) was all depicted very well in the movie….
Music is the strongest point…all songs sung by Farhan Akthar (n he sounds jus too awesome)….especially the song “Pichle Saat Dinon mein” where the band wins its first contest…wat striked me the most in dat song was the simplicity in lyrics….went sumthin lyk this… “Meri Laundry Ka Ek Bill, Ek Aadhi Padhi Novel,,,,,Ek Ladki Ka Phone Number, Mere Kaam Ka Ek Paper” and so on….
All the characters have given a great performance (for a change even Purab was gud)…
All in all- A MUST WATCH…..I recommend…..
And for those critics who think Farhan has paid me to write this…..well u wer almost rgt…he promised…but hasn’t paid me till now…so now the real review::

The TRUTH:
To say in 1 word…CRAP…..a failed attempt at tryin to create another DCH…. Humour, which is expected to be der if u r goin 2 watch a movie abt 4 frenz, was absolutely missin..….The scenes in first half gets too repetitive….2nd half gets too borin….Prachi Desai sure has displayed great emotions…after all she had nothing much to speak…her role revolved around just 1 track…but she is not to be blamed..the movie basically had nothing…
Y farhan leaves his gal frend is unexplainable….the reunion of Magik band isn’t quite convincing either….From being a total workaholic to how Farhan suddenly starts finding tym for the band is also surprising….(I would personally like to kno this)……
N as I said, Farhans songs are awesome….after all it has installed the confidence in me…if he can sing in films…I surely can make an album….n ya as far as songs r concerned, the Socha Hai song “Aasmaan Hai Nila Kyun, Paani Gila Gila KyunGol Kyon Hai Zameen” gimme a break….how many times have we heard these lyrics n ofcourse Pichle saat dinon mein inspires me to write as well…..temme how this goes “ Mere ghar mein ek dabba….
Aur usmein bahut saara kachra….
Ghar ke bahar 4 kutte……………
Jo hamesha bhaunkte rehte…Na Na Na.” It rhymes as well…. N ya theres this scene in this song when Farhan jumps into the crowd and everybody is liftin him n farhan lyk a true rockstar shouts out " Everybody put ur hands together"....my response.."dude, if everybody puts their hands together, then u ll be lying on the ground"

Well, all in all a no brainer of a movie….worth a miss…..thou farhan has acted well n ofcourse since he has given DCH (which is my fav movie)…he is excused for this movie…n msg for him “ Move on …Acchi movie banana dobara”…n ya a special mention for Shabana Goswami (Arjun’s wife)…she has done a splendid job..…n bye for now…...well my next movie review would be for Karzzzzzzz which m eagerly awaiting….releases in October ,,…don miss it n watchout for my review….n if any1 wishes to join me for the movie…u r welcome….
