Can't Rock On to this Shit!!

I borrowed KJo's copy of Rock On!! (the soundtrack album of the new Excel production that was released by Big Music).

I really haven't heard such trashy stuff in a long time. It makes Mission Istanbul's soundtrack sound better. Why attempt rock when all you can really do is make love-ballads and dance music? Farhan Akhtar sounds like a little adolescent in any case... and when he tries to pull of the range of rock vocalist, it just misses the point completely.

The lyrics are by the great Javed Akhtar... and it has no place belonging to his body of work. Sir, please check what Anwar Maqsood does (across the border) when he writes for his son's band. Rock music can have intelligent lyrics...even in Hindi/Urdu.

Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy giving us this trash (in the guise of rock), hoping for some 'KK-Pal' type revelation... sucks. Such trash... the only 2 songs worth listening to a couple of times are by the girls - Ye Tumhari Meri Baatein (Dominique Cerejo) and Phir Dekhiye (Caralisa Monteiro).

Everybody I know wanted to be a rock star at some point in their life. Everybody wanted an 'Almost Famous' moment in their life. Watching four guys like Luke, Farhan, Purab and Arjun Rampal live their adolescent dreams on screen is bad enough. The big question... Would Farhan and Ritesh have made this film if they had to spend their own money and not that of Big Pictures'??

This may be too 'damn opinionated'... but atleast I have a fucking opinion.
