With influences of Rock On and Namaste London, there are bound to be comparisons. However the story line strives to be different from both the previous hits which seem to have inspired it.
Ajay Devgan plays this music obsessed soul called Arjun, who must succeed as a rock star. Hailing from Bhatinda and ending up in London after a series of events, he is focused on his goal. The Character is as dark and broody as the usual image of the actor and he does a good job. The whipping scenes were a bit too much though!
Salman Khan is his childhood pal from Bhatinda called Manu, who is focused on nothing beyond the lay for the day. Comic turns in his red band masters suit are just in line with his fun loving image. Personally I feel Salman should stick with action and comedy, getting serious is just not for him. And of course he needs to get a hair cut, those long tresses are not attractive in the least.
Rannvijay Singh of “Roadies” fame makes his big screen debut after hosting season after season of TV serials. BTW did you know he was a fauji baccha as well? While I liked his style he had precious little to do in the movie. The two main stars took up all the attention and any left over spot was handed over to Asin Thottumkal. Bet you did not know her fullname, its a real tongue twister. Anyway, all in all the movie brings in all the dostana and dosti emotions. I guess it will do well with the masses, personally one viewing was enough.
