The forthcoming film 'ROCK ON' is going to be something that a lot of youngsters in India will be able to relate to a great extent.
Why?
Most of the people are blessed with some kind of skill or the other.
No one can deny that at least once in our thoughts or dreams we must have found a strange kind of pleasure imagining ourselves as a celebrity enjoying the life of a star who is adored by the people and forever hunted down by the paparazzi.
Some youngsters most probably in their college days must have been fortunate enough to experience the sweet taste of getting great compliments after an excellent performance of some kind or the other presented in front of the whole college or just for the classmates.
The mere recall of those magical moments of appreciation, encouragement and enquiries by certain aspirants and well wishers who are curious about how u accomplished the deed all gives a high.
This rush of blood is followed by the stark reality that those moments and after that the few hours or may be days of feeling like a king is now part of history and nostalgia.
You are reminded that what exists today is the fact that you are just one among a big crowd having nothing exclusive.
And just like the thousands of guys and girls who lead a life being part of some big multinational company or any other organization, getting a decent salary, supporting a family and trying to be fully satisfied with the present life as it is not possible to go back to the younger days and start all over again.
Some might have dug the graves for their talents to rest for ever because of the circumstances, some others due to the families that does not support and believe in you, some just because of unfavourable circumstances and yet some others due to just because of the fear of failure when it needs every ounce of the guts, energy, perseverance and the strongest will to finally realize the real dreams.
In this urban movie just like what has been mentioned in the above paragraph, four men who had split off in their peak days of glory to pursue other lesser goals reunite to give a second shot for making their long held most cherished aspirations true and thus nail down the unpleasant frustrating thoughts that have been haunting them for long.
'ROCK ON' is the story of these four guys who try to kill of the demons of their inner calls which constantly mocked at them forcing to see themselves as real losers.
This is the film that speaks of the wild freaky guys who comes back to revive their younger days and regroup the band MAGIK which was once regarded as the hottest and most talented rock band in India.
Aditya Shroff is the talented singer from Delhi who had the instincts to follow the way shown by his instinct whatever happened around him.
He does not consider anybody's opinions and leaves the comfort of his home to become a rock singer. He is the mind of the band.
The guitarist of the band is Joe Masceranous who has inherited his musical genes from his family members who were musicians.
But the bitter fact that all of his folks were failed musicians is like an extra baggage which reminds him always that he can also end up in the same way.
He likes to talk less and instead prefers his skills of playing guitar communicate for him. He is the personification of will power in the band.
The man who slams the skin for the band is Kedar Zaveri, who have the nick name KD which stands for "Killer Drummer".
He is regarded as the energy generator and heart of MAGIK. The instrument he plays looks like an extension of his own body when he is at his best on stage.
Rob Nancy is the most laid back member of the band. He handles the second guitar and is the soul of the band.
The name of the band becomes the ultimate truth when the four guys with four different attitudes comes together and creates magic.
So what happens which acted as the death blow that shattered and destroyed the one big collective ambition that emitted the invisible powerful rays to make every hurdle that the band MAGIK faced so easy to cross at one point of time.
See the film to know the reasons that may end up not just providing you entertainment but could also inspire people to just go and get it following the gut instincts as it is never late as long as you are alive.
