Sensitive and believable,for a change !

i was not sure,what's in store for me, when i rented the DVD, but was pleasantly surprised with the overall impact it had on me. Over all,i think the plot line, the characterization, the music, the editing and the acting was good. But some how, even in later movies of Farhan , i feel his voice is his weak point. It is flat, and has no ring to it.But still, towards the end, he has given some good performance ,and is believable as a rock singer.

Arjun Rampal acts as if he never wanted to be in this movie, and wears a tiresome,glum expression throughout, which is quite annoying at times. Shahana as dominating Debbie is well-acted, but why can't she do the family fish business successfully ?

The social,psychological, and financial hurdles which the members of the rock group Magik face, are quite realistic, and believable. Shankar Ehsaan Loy's music score is alluring, and enjoyable. actually ,i liked it better than the Rock star.

i liked the number Sindbad.. quite vivid and an excellent cinematography. However, you can't expect much depth in the lyrics,like our foreign counterparts, the likes of Cold Play,Pink Floyd and Scorpions et al.

How ever,it would be better for Farhan to stick to direction and production, give chance to real camera-friendly young actors, and not ham, for the inability to emote powerfully !
