Rock-On: A fantastic story about four best friends who drift apart as they grow up and get sucked into the rat race of life. Each has his present and each has a past. The past which was mostly spent playing music together.
How lives change!

Everyone lives differently when young. I agree change is necessary and maturity is imminent as one ages, but that doesn’t mean one has to sacrifice one’s dreams and family in chasing an unknown idea of happiness.

Rock On rocks for its simplicity in the way a complex relationship is narrated in the film. To top it, amazing performances from all the protagonists make it an exciting watch.
As for the music, no need to worry about the rock music because the film is not about rock music. It’s about these four friends and their lives. So feel free and take your family to this exciting new genre of cinema in
Kudos!!!
