Rock on! (2008) (6/10)

Four friends whose friendship rocks and what happens in their life. The first half seems more enthralling than it is due to the web of flashbacks and the somewhat unnecessary shrouding in mystery of an incident that changes their lives - an incident which is common place from one point of view, but catastrophic from another.

Interesting human qualities are brought into play to push the story, keeping you interested. Then there are some almost predictable coincidences, some more obvious elements, and some improbable situations to wrap it up.

What keeps it afloat is its being true to the music and not drifting to the tune of usual Bollywood elements. Magik can not be dominated by an individual, and they have stayed true to that mantra.

tingyaa (2008) (7/10)

A moving film based on a real story and closely related to the suicides by farmers as they can not support themselves. The acting especially by Tingya is great. His love towards their ox has been brought out very well. As the child is the hero, justice has not been meted to showing the extent of frustrations farmers face. That comes out as somewhat of a linear phenomenon

History of the World - Part I (1981) (6/10)

Mel Brook spook (I mean spoof). As funny as Mel Brooks can be. Actually may not meet his standard. It is in different sections (not parts).
