Rock On!! (2008)
8/10
Brilliant

Another wonderful film by Farhan Akhtar. If you have been following his films, or have loved his debut, 'Dil Chahta Hain', you don't even need to read this. If not, do not waste any more time. I have liked all films by Farhan and was quite surprised when i heard he is making such a movie. I had expected it to be hard core 'rock'. But no! The way he has executed the whole thing is just fascinating. He has been successful to blend different aspects of life like friendship, relationships, chasing your dreams etc using rock as a backdrop. After watching all i can say is hope other film makers learn something from this chap. Rock on Farhan!

Race (I) (2008)
7/10
Its a deadly race to get ahead.

Yet another action thriller by Abbas Mustan.

The basic theme goes like this: Two brothers (Saif and Akshaye) own a stud-farm. Racing is their passion, though Akshaye is more interested in money and alcohol and all the good life. Saif loves his younger brother more than anything else and thats why sacrifices his love Bipasha for him hoping Akshaye will improve and let go off his drinking habit after he marries and settles down. But things go horribly wrong when one of them is murdered and the whole movie takes a turn. Anil (a connoisseur for fruits) is the investigating officer and only makes an entry after the interval. And its up to him to solve the mystery of the death only to reveal that nothing is what it seemed.

Nice performances by most of the actors.

The movie is stylishly shot which adds to its character. Though, the action is a little over-the-top is handled well and did not seem ultra ridiculous.

Worth a watch! (Literally. The characters sport a nice collections of watches throughout the movie. :)
