Music Review: Farhan Akhtar’s Rock On!

in Music



Rock on film music original soundtrack listen download In Bollywood you’ve got to make a name for yourself. And if you’re name kisses quality each time, your name becomes a brand. A brand people will follow like a religion. Aamir Khan, Amitabh Bachan and Farhan Akhtar are one of those people. I went to see Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na just because of Aamir Khan. I’m sure a lot of people out there put their hard earned moolah into the movie for this very reason. Farhan Akhtar, the director made it big with Dil Chahta Hai. He’s back with Rock On!! Now here’s Farhan Akhtar the actor, the singer, the producer. Will he be a better actor than a director? That will have to wait. First let’s check out the music which was released yesterday.

Track Listing:

Socha Hai – Farhan Akhtar
Pichle Saat Dinon Mein – Farhan Akhtar
Rock On!! – Farhan Akhtar
Ye Tumhari Meri Baatein – Dominique Cerejo
Zehreelay – Suraj Jaggan
Tum Toh Ho – Farhan Akhtar
Sinbad The Sailor – Farhan Akhtar, Raman Mahadevan
Pichle Saat Dinon Mein (Live Version) – Farhan Akhtar
Phir Dekhiye – Caralisa Monteiro

The music has been composed by Shankar Ehsaan Loy. The lyrics have been penned down by Javed Akhtar. At first look this might look like Farhan Akhtar’s private rock album. He has sung five out of the nine tracks in the album. And dude! He rocks! He certainly does. The music is simply good to listen to. The album starts with Socha Hai by Farhan Akhtar. This is just some brilliant stuff as usual from Shankar Ehsaan Loy. Farhan proves he can sing. And he sings quite well. So say hello to Farhan Akhtar, the singer. The next track Pichle Saat Dinon Mein is an attempt to rock. Farhan makes it sound so good. The lyrics make it even better. Chances are you’re humming the song, the very first time you hear it! The title song comes next, Rock On by Farhan Akhtar. Say hello to Farhan Akhtar, the rockstar. Ye Tumhari Meri Baatein is a solid slow soulful song. Who the heck is Dominique Cerejo? I’ve got to Google her! The rock part is not over yet. Zehreelay by Suraj Jaggan is a neat one. Tum Toh Ho by Farhan Akhtar is another slow song you’ll wanna hear again and again. You can skip Sinbad the Sailor. The album ends with Phir Dekhiye by Caralisa Monteiro. The lyrics are simply amazing. On the whole an album as expected. Go get it! You’ll love each and every song!

Update: The movie is simply fantastic! Read a quick and cool review of the movie Rock On here!

    Skip Sinbad the sailor? What are you talking about. Thats the catchiest song in the whole album.
  • I don't think the movie deserves the hype. Too slow and dude...it's like a parody on rock music! Extremely hard to digest.
  • ruchi verma
    rock on really rocks and "Farhan akhtar really rocks "all the music lovers will like this movie for sure & this hectic life we really need this type of movie to feel relaxed .... GREAT JOB>>>>
  • Samantha
    Dominique Crejo is an awesome singer ...her voice is so soothing and melodious... the song Ye Tumhari Meri Baatein is very adorable thanks to Dominique's vocals.

    She started singing a good 10 - 12 years ago.. I first heard her perform with a band called "Aqua Flow" in Mumbai, her voice stayed in my head since then.

    I was pleasantly surprised when i heard her in ROCK ON! and i think she did an awesome job...

    Hope to hear a lot of her in our movies ......

  • sameer shenai
    Well if you listen to Music of Rock ON before watching Movie,then you wont get actual feel of the songs.
    So watch the movie before listening to music ,then you can actually relate each song with its part in movie.


    After watching this movie i must say Music rocks.More than what i expected.
    Farhan proved that he can sing also Caralisa Monteiro gave a superb smooth track.
  • arun
    its a great movie, ve been expecting this kinda movie for a long time, real eye opener to many of the upcoming rockers and teaches them the draw backs of ego and compromises in the contemporary rock scene, best part is robs love towards the band magik and the others for their determination and dedication towards rock music............great work ...songs are really good , i enjoy the song pichle saat dino me



    The music rocks .... the movie rocks .. grt movie and music after a long time ... kudos !!
  • Ankit Aggarwal

  • neha
    and how can you compare corduroy and zehreeley...are u off your mind??
    listen to both the tracks..learn to compare..
  • neha
    ok..maybe they are a bit of rip offs..
    but come on and stop comparing this music with
    classic rock..
    all we need to is appreciate farhan's attempt at atleast making a movie on rock !!!
    u started comparisons with led zep,jimi,pearl jam are u off your mind.
    those sopngs are immortal !!!
  • Socha hai is inspired from
    Jimi Hendrix' take on The Star Spangled Banner

    Rock on is inspired from
    Bryan Adams signature tracks

    Zehreelay is inspired from Corduroy

    This is One CRAP album..
