Review :
Pure Magik!
Imagine there's no office to go to. Imagine there's no family to feed. Imagine you get a second chance. Imagine living your dream. Yoo hoo! You may say I am a dreamer. But I am not the only one.
Director Abhishek Kapoor - a man who himself failed the first time round with Aryan, along with producers Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani - has imagined such a world. A world where 'you' comes before 'them' and 'I' comes before 'us'. A world where you have to reach in to rock on.
Rock On!! comes seven years after Dil Chahta Hai - the only possible Bolly benchmark in terms of impact on young urban mindscape - and in these last few years, the individual has taken over and Time magazine has declared "You" as the Person of the Year. In 2001, it was about: Dil chahta hai/ Hum na rahein kabhi yaaron ke bin. In 2008, it is about: Dil karta hai TV tower pe main chad jaoon/ Chilla chilla ke main yeh sabse keh doon/ Rock on...
Friends are fine but Aditya, Joe, Rob and KD have to first fight their personal demons. Aditya (Farhan) may be tracking infrastructure stocks but he must grab that mike again. Joe (Arjun) may be teaching guitar to the neighbourhood kids but he must play to the gallery again. Rob (Luke) may be sequencing the flute for Anu Malik but he must take the stage again. KD (Purab) may be helping his dad in his shop but he must hit the drums again. Together, Magik must rock... again.
In a seamless to-and-fro screenplay (Abhishek and Pubali Chaudhuri) we see the then and now of Magik separated by 10 years. Then the four were a happening rock band, coming so close to cutting an album. Now the four are going about their daily lives trying in vain to forget the long hair, the goatee and the guitar. Posed band pictures shot in an empty swimming pool maybe tucked away in some storeroom and the group jeep maybe hidden under some dusty tarpaulin but the music and lyrics in their blood makes their "compromised" lives impossible to live.
