Its Rockin'

Farhan Akhtar/Ritesh Sidhwani's latest feel-good, feel-young, realistic-feeling flick. I like it. Kinda like Dil Chahta Hai-gone-Rolling Stones. Got a young and fresh vibe. Farhan Akhtar looks like he could deliver a natural performance. S-E-L give the music a rock touch (dare I say, doing a Pritam?), which seems to be their latest wave of experimentation.

It could also be the work of a really talented teaser-maker, which have the ability to make trash look designer. This could also be true, considering that the film is directed by Abhishek Kapoor whose only claim to fame, is an ill-fated attempt at trying to resuscitate the flat-line career of lost Khan, Sohail (talk about betting on the wrong horse) in the forgettable "Aryan".

In other news, the follow-up teasers for "The Happening" say that New York Times called it "Sick" and "Disturbing". Wow, talk about leaving it to the audience to find the silver lining, there.
