quick review:

What's done well is done pretty neatly, what's not is pretty average, even mediocre. And yet, the entire set-up kind-a, sort-a works.

Rock On!! brought a warmth with the way it was told. It resonated with what we know – some relationships are worth wading through the tiffs. And sure the same story can be made into another movie. But, with the same background, the same characters and actors? I am not so sure it won't feel stale.

As is usual with stories that have been told over and over again, Rock On 2 will also have to bank on “how” the narrative unfolds. The dialogue and the situations. The trailer reeks of “same ol', same ol'” with Farhan Akhtar's character egging Shraddha Kapooor's character on to perform on stage. Will it then be a story of the latter's coming of age. I would welcome that one, even if it is nothing new.

The other aspect of Rock On and thus other expectation from Rock On 2 is good music. With lukewarm responses to the music in general, and adverse reaction to Farhan Akhtar's voice, I hope the music isn't a sign of things to come. Rock On felt fresh because it was sort-of the first time around, Rock On's music felt fresh because Farhan Akhtar's voice was different. Now, the same voice sounds overdone and stale. Hope we don't have to say the same for the film.

Music Reviews:
Bollywood Hungama – "3.5/5"
Bollywood Life – "3.5/5"
BollySpice - “3.5/5”
FirstPost - "A soundtrack like Rock On 2, composed by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, should be boasting of stellar vocals. But what we get, instead, is washed down (courtesy Akhtar), forced album in the name of rock."
glamsham – "3.5/5"
India today - "Shraddha Kapoor, the singer, is the revelation of Rock On 2's soundtrack."
Live Mint - "Rock On 2’s use of rock music is fairly cosmetic and afraid to do anything new"
Milliblog – a 200-worder that ends with "Despite Farhan’ish vocal shortcomings, the trio keeps Rock On 2 rocking."
Music Aloud – "3/5"
Times of India - "3/5"

Usually when a film mixes genres and/or issues, it gets annoying because it doesn't manage to do justice to any one of them and spreads itself thin. Rock On 2 however, manages to subtly touch upon many a point relevant to the world we live in today. Now, if only its writing didn't rely so heavily on coincidences and a generally sloppy plot.

Rock On 2 shows glimpses of both urban and rural dystopia. One corrupted by consumerism among other things and the other by corruption itself. The disconnect between the two worlds can be felt when Adi (Farhan Akhtar) visits Mumbai after a long hiatus from the city. He seems to immediately long for the world he got out of, even if he left it when it was in dire straits. The universal societal issue of generation gap is touched upon too, even if it has a rather unsatisfying climax. And of course, there is friendship and the strains that a true friendship can wade through.

As you'd imagine there is no respite from seriousness, as hard as KD (Purab Kohli) might try. Rock On 2 has a very intense air about it. So glum are three out of the four leads through the film, that you barely get a smile out of them - other than maybe in a flashback, which makes it sorrier because now, you too wish their past returned unbroken.

The transitions from one thread to the other are seamless. Thus it doesn't feel like the writers have taken on a lot and aren't able to be fair to any one sub-plot. This doesn't make the use of voiceover from start to finish or the ridiculous coincidences any easier to digest. Also, despite the seamless switches, the film has uneven writing.

For example, the parts that sew the first part to this sequel are written well. For a change, a sequel feels like a sequel – characters have aged and grown up and yet they give you a sense of “nothing has changed”. On the other hand there are those jerks in story-writing that the smooth screenplay covers up for. Efficient direction tries to mask some of these shortcomings, but in that attempt, the film becomes a little too long. Individual scenes/sequences linger on a little longer than needed thus reducing the effect and increasing the length. This also makes the film seem like it wants to say something, make a point, in every minute of the film, instead of just telling a story.

For a film that relies heavily on music, the music is well below average. The songs of course, appear more or less randomly, the music they are set to doesn't have a punch or repeat value. The lyrics of “woh jahaan” are worth looking up again, but the rest of the songs seem to have taken the beaten path. The grand climax starts of well, but loses steam till Magik takes stage. Interestingly, the finale does make you feel like you are at the rock show but it is not shot half as well as “jaago”.

Also, it is ironical that Farhan Akhtar's voice as a singer was heard so often during the film, despite it being so flat. Shouldn't a better singer have gotten a chance for playback? His character, Adi is right though, their band, Magik does need a new lead singer.

The actors all do well even if they are at the borderline of looking like they are trying a little too hard to be casual, serious, anxious, morose and so on. But it can pass. Even Arjun Rampal does his bit convincingly. It is nice to see Shashank Arora on this stage even if he's playing a character who seems to be lost – it gets a tad repetitive but will do till his next film. Shraddha Kapoor has a lovely voice and I wish we had heard more of her in the film. In the acting department, not a lot is demanded from her and she takes that load well.

In fact, there's this one scene that has little to do with her but it tugs at your heart. The events around her shock you and you see it reflected in her reactions. There is this other scene with Arjun Rampal reacting in a similar way and you sense a lump in your throat. Who would have thought he could have that effect on you.

There are a few, little surprises of this kind in the film. Also, it feels so good to see so many North-Eastern actors (even if some of them are non-actors) in a mainstream film. If only, Rock On 2 had better music and a little more effort in the parts of the puzzle that bring the film together.

Thumbs up, by Subhash K.Jha, Bolly Spice : ...Come to think of it, Rock On 2 is pretty much the most engaging and authentic sequel I’ve seen coming out of Bollywood in recent times. If as Shakespeare volunteered, music is actually the food of love, then this film is a feast. ... full review

Thumbs up, by Rahul Deo Bharadwaj, Desi Martini : ...The entire narrative of Rockon2 has been kept deliberately subtle.Scenes which could have become high drama in normal routine movies have been handled with great maturity and for that director Shujaat Saudagar deserves applause. ... full review

Thumbs up, by Rohit Vats, Hindustan Times : ...Rock On 2 might not have a strong conflict in the storyline, but it definitely works as the narrative of a unique camaraderie among the boys. They have grown older, but haven’t lost their charm.... full review

So-So, by Rohit Bhatnagar, Deccan Chronicle : ...Shashank Arora has major scenes with Shraddha which he pulled off well. Even though the filmmaker tried hard to match up to the standards set by Abhishek Kapoor in 'Rock On', he unfortunately failed in his attempt. ... full review

So-So, by Smita Vyas Kumar , Desi Martini : ...Rock on 2 may have been far more enjoyable if it had been shorter. Lesser drama and a crisper telling may have increased the intensity of the story and of course some more music would have kept us entertained. It’s a decent movie, there’s just too much of it. ... full review

So-So, by Rachit Gupta, Filmfare : ...Like in the original film, Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy’s music plays a key part in the experience of Rock On 2. Every situation in the film is bridged or resolved with the songs. The music of Rock On 2 is not SEL’s best but it is unique and within the context of the film blends well. Songs like Manzar naya, Woh jahan and Tere mere dil add melody to the film. ... full review

So-So, by ANISH MOHANTY, Kia Gia : ...As the sequel of a modern-cult film, Rock On 2 does not quite match up. However, as a standalone film it has good entertainment value to offer to the audience. The film does not strike the high notes that Rock On!! did but is far from being a film that can be given a miss. ... full review

So-So, by Jaidev Hemmady, Movie Talkies : ...So, if you are expecting something as 'rocking' as the prequel, stay away... ... full review

So-So, by Kunal Guha, Mumbai Mirror : ...Making his feature debut, director Shujaat Saudagar is fairly immersed in storytelling. But in the second half, the film nosedives like the film's lead, pouncing into the audience during a show. ... full review

So-So, by Saibal Chatterjee, NDTV : ...It rocks only sporadically, and it almost never sways the audience enough for the latter to crave for another helping. ... full review

So-So, by Rummana, yahoo! India : ...‘Rock On’ showcases some good performances, but it doesn’t recreate the youthful simplicity of the first part. And, most vitally, where is all the ‘rock’? ... full review

So-So, by Raghav Jaitly, Zee News : ...'Rock On 2' is a musical journey with hits and misses. The nostalgia factor here takes it a notch up on our entertainment scale. If you were impressed with the spirit of 'Magik' in 'Rock On!!' then 'Rock On 2' will prove to be an effective outing for you this weekend. ... full review

Thumbs down, Bollywood Hungama : ...On the whole, ROCK ON 2 has no story, no good music and no entertainment value. With its slow paced narrative, limited buzz and the demonetisation move by the Indian Government, the film will be a disaster at the Box-Office. - See more at: http://www.bollywoodhungama.com/movie/rock-on-2/critic-review/#sthash.J4LRn0hf.dpuf... full review

Thumbs down, by Sreeju Sudhakaran, Bollywood Life : ...On a separate note, I am not in favor of having Rock On 3, but can we have a spinoff on that Manjot character please? ... full review

Thumbs down, by Tushar P. Joshi, DNA : ...Rock On 2 might have been a great concept on paper, but it just doesn't become the sequel we all expected. Instead revisit the original and head bang to those tunes. ... full review

Thumbs down, by Johnson Thomas, Free Press Journal : ...The film has no effect on your senses. The drama appears alien and the music doesn’t have the suppleness and beat to make the experience affective. Director Shujaat Saudagaar proves he isn’t quite cut out to mine nostalgia for a fancied re-telling! ... full review

Thumbs down, by Vishal Verma, Glamsham.com : ...Technically sound with Marc Koninck's decent photography. Music by Shankar Mahadevan, Loy Mendonsa and Ehsaan Noorani is a big disappointment. ... full review

Thumbs down, by Manjusha Radhakrishnan, Gulf News : ...As far as performances go, every one does their bit but they are let down by a confused storyline. Watch this only if you are a Rock On groupie, otherwise skip it. ... full review

Thumbs down, by Ananya Bhattacharyal, india today : ...In terms of making an impact on its viewers, Rock On 2 will do nothing. The one thing it will do is boost the Meghalaya tourism. In all, watch Rock On 2 for the picturesque locales of Meghalaya. Else skip it.... full review

Thumbs down, Indicine : ...Conclusion: If you were expecting Rock On 2 to maintain the same essence of Rock On, then you should brace yourself for a few changes. The music here takes a backseat and the movie becomes a story about Farhan’s character rather than an entertaining ensemble movie. It takes a lot of time to set up the main story and get to its point, but the climax prevents this staid sequel from becoming a complete letdown. You can watch it for yourself and judge, or you can save your notes. ... full review

Thumbs down, by Surabhi Redkar, koimoi : ...Rock On 2‘s band Magik is completely tragic! If you were ever interested in forming a band, this one could kill your dreams! I’m going with a 2/5 ... full review

Thumbs down, by Uday Bhatia, Live Mint : ...With Akhtar and Rampal doing strong-men-in-agony routines, it’s left to Kohli to inject some fun, which he gamely does, even though it makes him look silly at times. Shashank Arora is intriguing as an ambitious shudhh Hindi-speaking semi-classical musician who joins Magik, but it’s an underwritten part. Kapoor does her own singing—fairly well, it must be said—as does the hoarse-voiced Akhtar. What is perhaps most surprising is that a film about musicians has nothing insightful to tell us about how music is made. In the fantasy world of the film, abandoned takes and flubbed notes don’t exist. It sounds right but rings false. ... full review

Thumbs down, by Mayank Shekhar, MiD DAY : ...One assumed this movie would capture the essence of that sub-culture. Or at least touch upon it. It would strike such a sticky (umbilical) chord, especially with the oft neglected land mass of India.... full review

Thumbs down, by Rajeev Masand, News18.com : ...The performances are adequate at best, and the picture-postcard photography of Meghalaya is refreshing. But as you leave the cinema in the end, you can’t help missing the distinct sense of fun that the earlier film delivered…and yes, those infectious tunes. ... full review

Thumbs down, by Manisha Lakhe, Now Running.com : ...Thankfully the Meghalaya band sings 'Hoi Kiw', which is peppy and catchy. The refrain begins to sounds like 'Hoi Kyon' (Hoi why!) and you add 'Hoi kyon banayi yeh picture!' (Hoi! Why did you make this movie!)' ... full review

Thumbs down, by Sukanya Verma, Rediff : ...Sadly, Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy's soundtrack, Khasi touches notwithstanding, just doesn't pull. ... full review

Thumbs down, by Raja Sen, Rediff : ...There is a wariness to his sighs, to his body language and to his overall tonality as he patiently deals with the petulant overgrown kids around him. I enjoyed watching him, grizzled and thoughtful and annoyed at being judged for judging. ... full review

Thumbs down, by Namrata Joshi, The Hindu : ...There is a hint of the old camaraderie and banter in the interactions of the old band members but not enough to bring back the nostalgia for the original in any big way for the fans. Nor does the sequel update itself enough to appeal to the millenials. No wonder Rock On!! 2 feels totally lost in an echo chamber of its predecessor’s popularity. ... full review

Thumbs down, by Saumil Gandhi, Upper Stall : ...There was no real scope for a sequel, and this film could have been made as any other film about any other music band. Come to think of it, that would have been a more liberating film to watch. Here, the baggage it carries is too much to shake off, and too good to match up. ... full review

Anuj

DCH in 2001 was a fresh and innovative movie from the Farhan school of film-making. Mold the plot and add a bit of music, we got a repetitive yet entertaining and endearing Rock On! in 2008. Mold a bit more, add a few rich brats with their "ultra urban metropolitan" problems in life and we got a decent one time watch in ZNMD in 2011. Now how many times would one possible mold, twist, turn and rehash the same done to death formula? If the Johar's and Chopra's of the world have flogged a dead horse, EXCEL entertainment with their formula films is no different!
