For a débutant director, Prof. Arindam Chaudhuri does a good job with 'Rok Sako To Rok Lo'. The story of a group of teenagers from two rival schools - Bharti School and Valley High - is narrated by Namrata Shirodkar, who owns a café -- a common haunt for students from both institutions. While the group from Bharti School is led by Dev (Yash Pandit), the rival gang is headed by Ranveer (Carran Kapoor).
Valley High students turn up their noses at the Bharti School youngsters, always taunting them because of their lower social status as well as their inability to beat the Valley-ites at any sports event.
Enter teen siren Sanjana, who studies with Ranveer. Dev and gang tease the temptress and Sanjana, swearing revenge, ensnares Dev and pretends to be in love with him. Dev finds out only too late that he has been duped.
Kabir, watching this byplay, befriends the group led by Dev, and instills a sense of confidence in them, urging them on to finally take a stand and beat their adversaries. Unfortunately, their enthusiasm leads to both gangs engaging in a dangerous car race on public roads. During the race, Kabir is killed in a ghastly accident, once again plunging the Bharti School students into depression. To make matters worse, they are challenged to a marathon race by Valley School...
The lead pair, Yash Pandit and Manjari Fadnis, both selected through a talent hunt done by the producers, impress in their very first film with their high levels of confidence. Sunny Deol, who plays the role of Kabir the mysterious man with a 'history' pops up time and again to save the youngsters from sticky situations, and receives all the applause. While audiences in the North might clap for their favourite hero literally flinging the goons left, right and centre, the action could have been toned down a bit for the Mumbai viewers. Jatin-Lalit's music remains above reproach, especially the peppy and inspiring title track.
All in all, a fun-filled package of school pranks and youthful masti (with liberal doses of good advice) that will appeal to the younger generation.
