Rock On - the movie

Watched the movie "Rock On" this evening, after a visiting friend got tickets and called. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by Farhan Akhtars singing. He doesn't particularly have a great voice, but he can sing really well for sure. He can direct and act too. Well, with genes like that who'd doubt the talent.

Quite a good flick, even if some performance scenes look overcooked or deadpan. I wonder how these 'metros-only' films make money, considering that they are most certainly restricted in terms of viewership. Wonder what the economics are. Are they trying to create a platform for other businesses that satellite them?


Should watch "wanted" over the weekend ... the trailers were just awesome.

To the extent i know you through your blog, I'd just say a NO for WANTED.
It's one of those Rajnikanth meets H'wood movies.

- Bullets can fly from Mysore to B'lore
-Bullets can go in circles
-Bullets can actually be split into halves
-The assasins get their codes from a loom - as in "Binny mills".

Hey Anon from Chicago: I actually liked 'Shivaji - The Boss' ... I think Rajanikanth made it work :) .... Im pretty sure I'd have hated seeing one of the Bollywood idiots playing that role
