Music Review: Rock On 2 (Hindi)
Composer(s): Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy

With a film title like Rock On, it's reasonable to expect rock numbers. And that's exactly what Jaago, You Know What I mean (an effective throwback to Socha Hai), Udja Re, Tere Mere Dil and Woh Jahaan (that sarod!) are. Shraddha Kapoor-sung Udja... in particular is groovy, but the same unfortunately cannot be said of Farhan Akhtar whose rough edges spoils what's otherwise a spectacularly beautiful Manzar Naya. Ishq Mastana and Hoi Kiw / Chalo Chalo (featuring a fantastic-sounding Usha Uthup) are steeped in rock too, but are given a folky makeover that allows them to rise over the rest. Rock On 2 is signature rock fare for the most part, ultimately bogged down by Akhtar and Kapoor's limited singing capabilities.
