Rock on 2

"This movie is lame – totally" my lil daughter in her heavily accented, peer induced valspeak would say when there's a movie she doesn't like. This movie isn't an exception. The storyline is cheezy from the word Go. After the Gangnam style success of its prequel, the 2 version is not even close to " pen pineapple". Of course trying to dilute Indian rock music, with its familiar 5 note piano ballad preludes and mediocre guitar riffs that repeat monotonously bar after bar, like a young child experimenting on a new sampler into something even unfamiliar for the Indian masses broca- like the Khasi folk fusion, is an experiment filled with rash risks. Farhan preferred to piggy back on that suicide note instead.

This is nothing more than a Pen Pineapple formula gone wrong. Save the celluloid for something worthwhile. Pay more for quality story writing.

You pick up some jobless and struggling actors to act in such movies like Kumud mishra playing character of a classical Music Guru Pandit Vibhuti who in personal life has zero knowledge of Pandits and the classical music.

Movie is a one sided dailogue to demean Hindu culture and values.

Its very Bad written and random stuff like Superman coming to Farhan and Farhan kicks his balls with the help of Arjun druggist.

Music, cinematography, acting and script all are good. Shankar Ehsaan Loy does justice to music. Hoi Kiw song is nectar for ears and the best song of movie. I don't why Jaago song is promoted so much as this is the only average track of movie!! Farhan Akhtar acting is amazing as usual!! The film has shown Meghalaya and their last concert happens over there which is awesome!! 2nd half of the movie is much better than 1st half!!

It is just not that perfect as Rock on 1. Direction and dialogues of movie could have been little bit more better. But overall it's good movie and definitely worth a watch. It deserves at least 7.5 rating but I have given 10 to improve it's overall rating for the genuine efforts made for the movie!! Rock on!!

Directed by Shujaat Saudagar, Rock On 2 chronicles the journey of the estranged music band Magik after 5 years where the prequel had left it.Here , the friends – Adi,Joe and KD( respectively played by Farhan,Arjun Rampal and Purab Kohli) who are busy with their individual lives, unite for a purpose and with the inclusion of new talents – Jia(Shraddha Kapoor) and Uday(Shashank Arora).

Unlike Rock On,which blended music so seamlessly into the film's emotional fabric , the sequel doesn't quite recreate the 'magik' of its original.Saudagar's approach appears labored and the narrative is saddled with plot contrivances that you can guess from a mile.The film's bright spots lie with the assuring camaraderie with the Magik men, even though they have transformed into more mature,sullen and mellowed versions from their impulsive selves' with the lapse of time.The visuals of the Meghalayan landscape is stunning and juxtaposing Shillong as the rock capital is a righteous endeavor.

The films tracks have nothing great to rave about and the emotional core seldom connects with our hearts.But to give the credits where its due,its the earnest performances of the actors – Farhan,Arjun and Purab that makes you stay invested with it.

Rating 2.5/5

Bollywood please learn from hollywood. In their movie they use a real singer. And Shraddha Kapoor you are worst as a singer. In your life people ask you to sing is doesn't mean you sing well they are your fan or friends. Even alia bhatt sing better than you. please take a true opinion to a singer who can speak truth in front of you.
