Rock On 2 (2016) Movie Review
The 15-minutes documentary also features how impactful the film was on the audience and in the group of individuals who came together to pursue their Hindi rock band, Magik. On this note, Farhan said,“We decided we had to go back to how all it started. You have to follow what you are very excited about. There is no choice. Today, with Rock On!! 2, we have the opportunity to push that energy a bit more. It was in 2007 that Rock On!! director Abhishek Kapoor came up to me while I was with friends in a South Mumbai bar and told me he was very keen to cast me in the film about a rock band as the lead singer in that band, Aditya Shroff. It wasn’t something that I hadn’t considered at that point — acting or singing. The responsibility of fronting a film was the greatest challenge. It’s not as easy as people imagine it to be.”
Further speaking about ‘Rock On!!’s National Award-win, the ‘Bhaag Milkha Bhaag’ actor said,
“Yes that felt amazing. There have been so many wonderful stories after our ‘Rock On!!’ story where people told us how they came together and formed rock bands and became aware of rock music. That also forms a part of the documentary.”
Rock On 2 (2016) Movie Song Review
Unlike music in Hollywood or art films, mainstream Hindi film songs have never been about pure creation. Its function is not only to serve the narrative, but also to work in isolation of the film—and in turn generate revenue and buzz. In that sense, every Hindi film composer is allowed to play within a boundary, always under the pressure of music labels to make something that is also marketable. But what does one do when one is restricted even further? Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy (SEL) find themselves in a similar position in Rock On 2 where the soundtrack is meant to centre around the lead actor and actress, who are at best good bathroom singers.Rock On 2 Music
Shraddha Kapoor joins Farhan Akhtar as the new female vocalist of Magik, the band in the sequel to Rock On!!. A film about rock musicians couldn’t ask for more. But the album suffers. For the most part, the composers are bogged down by the limitations of their singing abilities, unable to dream big.wouldn’t be fair to say that the ones sung by Akhtar and Kapoor are bad. The sparsely produced Manzar Naya that has lovely, warm strings belongs to the indie-spirited road-trip songs we associate with the composers. Akhtar’s imperfect texture gets breathing space here and it works just right.
Besides this and a couple of good moments in Woh Jahaan, Akhtar’s singing doesn’t work in other tracks such as You Know What I Mean, that made me cringe every time the hookline appeared. It tries to emulate the casual everydayness of Pichhle Saat Dino Mein from Rock On!!. That song—and the album—was enjoyable because it was something new at that time. The fact that Akhtar, the man who made Dil Chahta Hai, could act and sing was a novelty. It’s been eight years and today, Akhtar’s stardom—and his faux-rockstar persona—weigh down the album more than it helps it. A song like Jaago, that talks about individual freedom, comes across as something Tata Tea could come up with for their next campaign.
