Soundtrack - Notepad

Soundtrack

wogma rating: Add to 'must watch' list (?)
quick review: Soundtrack starts unsurely, mildly irritates while casually displaying a wasted life amidst drugs, alcohol and sex and then grips you into a story that makes you want good things to happen to a person you didn't like much or worse, were indifferent to.

Plot Summary

Raunak (Rajeev Khandelwal) has moved to Mumbai to make it big in the music industry. And he begins to do well too, but...

What Worked

  • The documentary style of narration. Only thing is it wasn't consistent. But liked it because it was something different. Also good use of cameos!
  • The "guy" talk between Raunak and the club-owner, Charlie - appropriately disgusting.

What did not

Note: This section simply lists the things that I did not like in this movie. This is not the overall impression about this movie. Please read the full review here

  • The repetition of the "like father , like son" dialogue.
  • The use of old Hindi film songs in the background, except for "khullam khulla pyaar karenge" didn't work.
  • Police constables start dancing! I thought this was a non-Salman Khan film!

Noopur:

Its not based on a true story. The original, "its all gone pete tong", is just a mockumentary. They created all fake websites about the protagonist, Frankie Wilde, to make him come out as a real life character. Just a smart gimmickery by the makers of this great movie. About the indian makers of Soundtrack, I don't know why they claimed it to be a true story. Don't know if even they fell for it.
