B4U Music Reviews Rock On 2



A guilt ridden Aditya ( Farhan Akhtar) who is responsible for a young musician's suicide, moves to a much quieter Meghalaya and involves himself in humanitarian causes like building schools, working for the farmers to ease out his pain.

His wife Sachi ( Prachi) allows him his space and returns to Mumbai for the sake of their son's education. Her role is pretty much the same of an undemanding wife.

Current Music Scenario is shown with Joe's Character who now judges a popular music reality show and owns a posh nightclub. Much different from the middle-class Joe from the first part.

The songs are sluggish and inserted irrelevantly into the screenplay.

Jiya (Shraddha Kapoor) does nuances of her Aashiqui 2 character, and is stuck between Classical Music and Rock Genre as career options. Her father's taste in music is classical and it does not conform to the modern music. Their conflict is added to the Magik band.

After many ups and downs, the band Relives the Magik, but do the audiences feel any Magik, highly doubtful!! 

Rock On 2  - Film Review 




A boring tale of let's leave our differences aside and 'Relive The Magik'. The rock music is far from inspiring and puts you on a slumber.

Farhan's character Aditya moves base to Shillong, after haunting images of a young man's suicide while Joe ( Arjun Rampal) owns a nightclub and judges a reality show.

Jiah ( Shraddha) has a cliched backstory with her dad's fixation to Classical Music, though she's a contemporary young girl who wants to head-bang.

Locations are the saving grace of the film. Story remains stereotypical with band wanting to re-launch themselves. The songs don't connect with the young audience.

Farhan Akhtar is pretty decent, Arjun Rampal does not contribute much, Shashank has potential while Shraddha is good in parts. She reminds her fans of her portrayal in Aashiqui2.

Management Lessons From Rocket Singh - Salesman Of The Year 




The corporate culture of a shaky clutured business is perfectly captured in the screenplay of 'Rocket Singh - Salesman Of The Year'.  A young average in academics lad, Harpreet Singh Bedi nails the interview at (AYS) At Your Service Computer Assembling Agency, by selling various petty things to the owner.

Mangament Lessons To Learn From The Film : 

1. Work Ethics -  Harpreet is honest, self-motivated and goes about with his on-field interactions with the said integrity. However, his very first encounter with a Top Client becomes unpleasant, when the client demands a bribe for the services. Harpreet is taken by suprise, and reports the complaint to his boss, for which he is publicly humiliated and given a demotion.


2. Dedication -  Despite the humiliation suffered, Harpreet does not quit his job and is stern to not let boss call any other employee names like 'Zero' / 'Duffer'. He decides to keep his niceness on hold and works toward adjusting to the standards of the corporate.  A good employee is mistreated and made to re-think his intrinsic  nature.


3. Entrepreneurship -  Harpreet soon grasps the business sense and decides to focus on key strategies of 'Customer Service ' and 'Cheaper Computer Assembly Rates' with his new business called 'Rocket Singh Corporation'. They manage to get their first huge order and sustain the business. They even include a low waged worker for his talent and bring him on board as a partner. They soon overtake the profits of 'At Your Service' Computer Assembly Agency.


4. Power & Control - AYS Owner Sunil Puri is furious at the declining reputation of his company and proposes to buy out Harpreet's 'Rocket Singh Corporation' , which Harpreet rejects and boldly mentions he would acquire AYS in the future.

5. Failure and Redemption - Sunil Puri soon finds out his employed staff have been operating the management of Rocket Singh, he fires them and acquire the company at Re.1/-
AYS is not able to successfully maintain the business ethics which were implied by Rocket Singh Corporation , and the company is returned back to Harpreet at the same price.


A good employee at every corporate must be encouraged and groomed the right way. A strong ethical work sense must be retained. Rocket Singh 'Salesman Of The Year'  is a brilliant example of working within an ego driven company.

Force 2 Film Gets U/A Certification 




   Force 2 was certified with U/A Certificate on Tuesday. However, the CBFC board identified a few scenes which catered to the Cross-Border Terrorism and Indo-Pak Tensions, which could backfire upon release.

    They have asked the makers to make amends. Though, Viacom 18 the film's presenter is planning to have a revised perspective on the film with submission in the 'Revision Committee', as they feel the suggested cuts may hamper the flow of the film. 

   John Abraham adds , "Unlike the first Force film we decided to incorporate a strong political message in Force 2 on cross-border issues. When we were shooting the film, the ghastly Uri tragedy had not happened. Now, some of the events described in the film almost seem to preempt the cross-border activities in the past few months"

SHOCKING : Kamaal R. Khan Leaks The Video Tape Of Shivaay 





Kamaal R. Khan is a man of revenge.  He has given back to the makers of Shivaay, who had leaked the audio call of their conversation through YouTube, in which KRK claimed to have been bribed by Ae Dil Hai Mushkil team to tweet negative reviews on Shivaay. 

As a comeback, Kamaal Khan has video taped Shivaay and is leaking it on his social media platforms. Taking advantage of an early Middle East release, the theater has been traced down to Dubai, which has been used to pirate the film by him. 

Reliance Entertainment COO, Sibhasish Sarcar is driven to take strict legal action against Kamaal R. Khan and the theater owners in Dubai. This attributes to crime as the leak is likely to affect the box office figures and first weekend collections of the film. 

As evidence, the team has taken screenshots of all his video tapes, which are no more visible on his pages, informed the top social media networks to disable any pirated videos of Shivaay. 

We really hope the team battles yet another tough situation.

Hrithik Prolongs The Shoot Of Kaabil


Hrithik Roshan has given his blood and sweat to play a visually impaired man with conviction. However, in order to be in character till the release of the film, he has delayed the shoot of a certain close-up of his hand. 

Hrithik reveals, it's purely out of his greed to still be in character, as being blind in the film, has transformed him and made him a better person. Not just him, but even Yami lights up the screen, albeit playing a blind girl in the film. 

Hrithik opened up about observing visually impaired people, who lead regular lives as any of us. Some are bodybuilders, accountants, teachers, lawyers and don't want to seen upon as weak beings. He even found a blind fan in one of  the interactions, who straightened his hair and smiled for a selfie with Hrithik. 

He observed them and adopted their traits into his character of Rohan Bhatnagar in Kaabil. 


Documentary Film On Farhan Akhtar's Band Farhan Akhtar LIVE

We hear, Farhan's team has documented each of their milestones on camera, from the band's inception, to real concert footage to jamming sessions. Sources say, a documentary on his musical journey will soon be released.

It will be interesting if the film is ready by the release of Rock On 2, as it will certainly leverage the film. 

The Kaabil Trailer Is Mysterious, Entertaining And Most Likely A Blockbuster 





The Trailer begins with Rohan Bhatnagar ( Hrithik Roshan)  introducing himself. He finds a life partner in Yami Gautam. They decide not to treat their lack of sight as a weakness, but convert it into their strength.

Happy times shine on them, as they adjust in a new marriage. Their love is their light. However, in an ugly turn of events, Yami is assaulted physically for some reason, which is not out in the open yet.

Rohan seeks the help of Police, but his effort goes in vain. He himself sets out to avenge the death of his wife from the wrong-doers.

Kaabil is every bit entertaining, mysterious and most likely a potential blockbuster of 2017.

SHOCKING : No Bachchan Member Present At The Special Screening Of Ae Dil Hai Mushkil 




Ae Dil Hai Mushkil team arranged a special screening on Monday for family and friends of the entire cast. While Ranbir and Anushka's family was present, no one attended the screening from the Bachchan Clan, not even Aishwariya Rai.


Reports suggest, the family is upset at her steamy scenes with Ranbir Kapoor.  Hence, no one is even promoting the film's trailers / songs to extend their support.  Aishwariya at one point of time, post marriage, had mentioned her film choices will be heavily filtered owing to her relationship status.

However, she has let gone of her notion and played a bold lady who engages in multiple affairs, reflecting the modern young complicated women.

The Hindi Music Scene of 90's Vis A Vis Music Charts Of Today!

The 90's was a great time to consume music. For we were spoiled for choice. On one hand, we had the regular film music albums which we stocked up in recorded cassettes and CD's, and on the other hand, we had the very popular 'Singles' , which told such beautiful stories through it's music videos. 

Flipping through channels was pure joy, as we witnessed a story unfold in combination with meaningful lyrics. 

Through the 2000's we did lose some of the great gems of Hindi Music Culture. 

Here's a REWIND :




1. Alisha Chinai  - A beautiful looking girl, who came up with back to back Hits. Her most popular being 'Made In India' and more recently 'Kajrare' in Bollywood.  She had the star quality and screen presence with a great voice. 




2. Lucky Ali - His songs were full of emotion, as if narrating his own experience through them. He touched upon some real situations of heart-break, physical violence to being a loner as he traveled through beautiful landscapes. We hope he comes back again.



3. Falguni Pathak -  Today's Dandiya Queen who comes in limelight every year in Navratri. She was a star in her own right  back in 90's as she churned out the foot-tapping numbers which were beautifully pictured.



4. Shweta Shetty -  The bold and beautiful Shweta Shetty added a touch of earthiness to her videos. We loved her in 'Dewaane To Dewaane Hain'



5. Illa Arun - Her heavy voice coupled with Folk Music, was a complete treat. Though, she does not hit the music scene any longer.



6. Daler Mehendi - A gifted artist who produced some of the best Bhangra Pop Numbers. His recent hit track is 'Mirzya' title track, which is brilliantly sung by him. 



7. Anamika -  This lovely dainty lady had the nation crooning to her song, 'Kahim Karta Hoga Woh Mera Intezaar' and instantly became a household name.



8. Euphoria - A sense of Euphoria prevailed each time they came out with a song. Such rooted and hearty tracks, sure need to make a come-back. 



9. Shaan - His new age voice resonated with the youth. He got much admiration with ' Tanha Dil' and his fresh face added a star value to his songs.

Currently, the audience and listeners have a vast number of Bollywood Songs at their disposal.
Sadly, the solo artists artist gradually vanished from mainstream music.

However, lately some artists like Arjun Kanungo, Badshah, Honoey Singh have re-entered this form of entertainment.

We wish we could rewind back to this time and live the joys of brilliant renditions once again.

Karan Johar's Ae Dil Hai Mushkil To Get Police Security In Every Theater Screening It 






Despite his candid confession on denying charges of being anti-national, Karan Johar is battling for a normal release for his Diwali Flick Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. 

Latest we hear, the Makers approached the Joint Commission Of Police to provide security in each and every theater hosting the screening of Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, be it Single Screens / Multiplexes owing to threats of vandalizing and disrupting regular viewing of the film. 

We really wish the scene is averted and all movie goers get to enjoy their Diwali Weekend, like any other film screening. 


Harshvardhan Kapoor Takes Full Responsibility For Mirzya's Failure 





Harshvardhan's Debut Picture Mirziya did not find the desired mass audience and collected a single digit figure in its very first weekend. 

At a budget of 35 crores, all the business it did was around 8 Crores. While Rakeysh Omprakash was certain the numbers will look up gradually, the film failed to do meet his expectations. 

In an interview recently, Harshvardhan attributed the film's failure to its niche content, saying it was not meant for everybody in the first place. Plus, he donned a beard and kept a rustic look as opposed to the glamour and style with which star kids are introduced.  The narrative went ahead with music and very few dialogues, a first for the audiences to accept. 

Harshvardhan's confidence is intact and he know Mirzya will find it's due in course of time.  His next is Sriram Raghvan's Bhavesh Joshi.

Karan Johar Approaches Joint Commission Of Police For Protection Around His Diwali Release Ae Dil Hai Mushkil




    It is rather Mushkil for Karan Johar to sail through a smooth release for his upcoming film Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. After the ban in Single Screens among 4 States - Maharashtra, Goa, Gujurat and Karnataka in the wake of Uri Attacks in East Kashmir, political parties have maintained to show solidarity to Indian Army by not allowing the release of any film featuring Pakistani artist.

   MNS in particular threatens to vandalize theaters / multiplexes which will host screenings of Ae Dil Hain Mushkil.  In such a grave situation, Karan Johar is battling hard for his film and has approached the Join Commission Of Police requesting safe measures and security at the theaters.

    MNS is clear to stop the release of Shahrukh Khan's Raees as well. Let's hope the differences are sorted out, and no film / artist gets banned.

Why Did Salman Khan once fight with Film-Maker Subhash Ghai?





Salman Khan is a very moody persona, as witnessed by media, fans and his fellow colleagues. His sense of likes / dislikes are so strong and unshakable, that he can abandon a certain person for life or put him on a pedestal. 

Flashback to his encounter with Subhash Ghai : 

Salman once came to see a Subhash Ghai film shoot. Moments later, the director noticed him and inquired about his visit to the set. Salman looked away and said ' I have come to meet you. I want to be a hero in your film'. Subhash Ghai found his body language very rude and arrogant and sent him back by just saying 'Sure,sure!" 

Next Ghai realized, Salman has been signed up by Sooraj Barjatiya in Maine Pyaar Kiya, which turned out to be the biggest hits of the year. Salman gradually moved to the A-list category of stars with Hum Aapke Hain Koun in the 90s. Ever since then, Salman Khan avoided Subhash Ghai in parties / events. Subhash Ghai found this weird as he had never made a promise to him.

At another time, few years later, Salman joined Subhash Ghai's friend's party and socialized with all but Ghai.  The director felt uneasy and decided to leave. Salman kept trying his patience by showing up in front of his face and they eventually got into a heated argument without a solid reason. 

Next morning, Salim Saab called up Subhash Ghai and apologized on his son's behalf. He even sent Salman to say sorry to Ghai. He came in with guilt and admitted his mistake. Since then, Salman holds Subhash Ghai as an elder brother/ father figure who even worked with him in Yuvraaj and showered all the respect possible. 

Leave your comments and let us know what do you think about this long gone animosity.

Striking Similarity Between Neal N Nikki & Befikre 






Do you recall a film called Neal N Nikki, starring Uday Chopra and Tannisha Mukherji in the film? Well it was a YRF Production and we cannot help but compare it to the 'new-age' Befikre which was recently pitched to us. 


Now let's have a bit more understanding on each individual film. 

Neal N Nikki is based in the US. A regular Indian guy at marriage-able age wants to have some 'fun' and decides to take the next flight to the states in order to be with random people who can give him the time of his life. Tannisha interrupts his fun adventures with the girls, on the misconception that he took advantage of her. 

Coming back to today's Befikre, a film shot in the Romantic Capital of France, Paris. Shyra ( Vaani) has just broken up with her boyfriend, and wants a good time with anybody random. Entry of Dharam (Ranveer),who promises to never commit to her. They give each other random quirky dares through the film, one of which involves strip-tease as well. The film's climax is pretty obvious that the two would eventually confess their love for one another post a brief separation / or carry on being Befikre. 


Either ways, we are not impressed. Apart from its own past production, Befikre also draws references from English Films No Strings Attached & Friends With Benefits!

Trivia on Celebrated Actor Rekha 




Rekha never uses a surname, ever wondered why!  Her father Gemini Ganesan never accepted Rekha as his daughter.  For she was born before her parents got married. A beautiful baby girl was abandoned.  Due to the same, her mother Pushpavalli's South Film career came to a stand-still.

Rekha started working very early in life, in order to support her mother financially. She was initially offered movies in B-Category, but took them up without any qualms, for the money which came along. Gradually, she shifted to A-list films and then began her journey to super stardom.

Here's her personal confession : 

Bombay was like a jungle, and I had walked in unarmed. It was one of the most frightening phases of my life... I was totally ignorant of the ways of this new world. Guys did try and take advantage of my vulnerability. I did feel,"What am I doing? I should be in school, having an ice-cream, fun with my friends, why am I even forced to work, deprived of normal things that a child should be doing at my age?" Every single day I cried, because I had to eat what I didn't like, wear crazy clothes with sequins and stuff poking into my body. Costume, jewelery would give me an absolute terrible allergy. Hair spray wouldn't go off for days even despite all my washing. I was pushed, literally dragged from one studio to another. A terrible thing to do to a 13-year-old child

Apparently, Rekha was deeply hurt by her father's disapproval of her, and even refused to attend his funeral.

Rekha was once linked to Sanjay Dutt as well. In a film they played Mother-Son but in reality the situation was complete the opposite. They even secretly got married and went missing from the city for several weeks. Apparently, this was done by Rekha in a bid to get Amitabh Bachchan's attention.

When Sunil Dutt, heard the rumors of their alleged marriage, he immediately got Sanjay Dutt married to Richa Sharma.

Rekha has had a tough personal life, as her husband Mukesh Aggarwal committed suicide with a note ' Don't Blame Anyone', she fought a personal battle amid people writing her off as a witch and murderess.

Today the actor is renowned for her legacy of films and dons a sindoor despite being a widow.
