Rock on!

NO guys!! am not appointed to promote Farhan Akhtar's new movie.
Well anyways...I just saw it yesterday night (first preview show!.. How could I miss bollywoods first ever Rock-based movie). And drew parallels to his first movie 'Dil Chahta Hain' which was a story of friends. DCH was one movie I have watched over and over again. after Sholay and alongside Munna bhai series and as then suggested by my friend that DCH was a movie to be watched by friends:) This time I suggest this one is too. You may or may not agree (eventually), but after knowing few rock-inclined friends, and after being with the making and breaking of my college rock band (as a non-musician). After knowing few ultra-talented musicians (rock and other genres) who still are trying to make it big (in the worldly sense). I think this is a great movie to go watch(barring some disagreements which can easily be skipped n the larger picture). See it if you have the time and inclination :). Even if you leave aside the Rock factor, it's still a good movie.

And yes! Interestingly Farhan seems to have won a 'race' for the title, I learnt from the web that there was another English movie scheduled for 2009 with the same title. I guess it will now be called 'Bandslam'
