This is what Farhan and Ritesh thought they were making
1) A film with political riots and heavy metal being the reason. 2) Using the elements from the prequel in a mediocre way. 3) Music that will ruin every rock star's dream.
And you get Rock On 2
The first looks by its teaser and trailer just didn't match my expectations. Shujaat Saudagar has potential of being a good director but his aesthetic shots were sloppy. The performances in the movie were average. The only weakling in the acting department was Arjun Rampal. His performance was kinda like a drug addict taking therapeutic sessions at a rehabilitation center. The story and screenplay was absolutely terrible in such a way that the movie didn't make any sense whatsoever. Very clueless I was. Shankar- Ehsaan-Loy, whyyyy??? Absolutely horrifying music which made the movie's flow haphazard. Abhishek Kapoor in my opinion has brought some mentality from his previous failed venture which was Fitoor.
Overall, please don't waste your money this weekend. If you are really craving a musical film, go to the video store and pick up a Blu-ray of the prequel of this movie or Dil Toh Pagal Hai. This movie is recommended for people who want to sleep.
2/5- Bad dream for Indian Rockstars
