Rock 2Off. Review on Rock On 2

ROCK ON 2 starts off with the voiceover narration of ‘KD’ aka Killer Drummer aka Kedar Zaveri(Purab Kohli). The story then mirrors upon the distances covered by Magik band’s members from the prequel till today. Aditya Shroff aka Adi(Farhan Akhtar) gets settled in Shillong to lead an isolated life as ‘repentance’ over a certain mistake. It is here that he finds peace by running his self-initiated ‘Farmers’ Co-operative’ and a school for the poor children. Even though ‘Farmers’ Co-operative’ works selflessly towards the benefits of the farmers, it just does not go well with the local governing officer of that area. On the other hand, Joseph Mascarenhas aka Joe(Arjun Rampal) becomes a successful entrepreneur as well as a judge in one of the TV reality shows.

As for the film’s performances, the film solely focuses on Farhan Akhtar. He tries his best to hold this mess together, but, after a point, he too seems to give up. His character is so delusional that he probably needs therapy rather than a guitar! Mind you, we are not joking when we say that. ROCK ON 2 focuses only on Farhan Akhtar's character, who is eternally confused and that too. for no credible reason! His character in the film gets so depressing and illogical, that even his on screen wife(Prachi Desai) refuses to take it any longer.

Arjun Rampal, on the other hand, is completely wasted and looks totally disinterested in the film. It’s a real pity because, Arjun Rampal had won a National award for the prequel(ROCK ON!) of this same film. Purab Kohli tries to bring in some genuine emotion, but, because he barely gets any space, his attempts go wasted.

On the other hand, there’s Shraddha Kapoor, who looks endlessly lost in the film. She never gets a grip of her poorly written character Jiah, who is just wandering around in the film. All of these only add to the mess called ROCK ON 2. Other actors like Shashank Arora, Prachi Desai, Shahana Goswami and Kumud Mishra also barely manage to exist in this confused script.
