Rockford

Rockford is a simply-told story of day-to-day struggles of most adolescents who attend public boarding schools (at least in India). It has an excellent script, well directed, and fascinatingly enacted. The characters have been so realistically portrayed into their roles that a viewer is completely enmeshed in the plot and can relate to the boy (Rohan Dey) and his life. Every character has been shown in light of such seriousness and sincerity that even though it is a comedy, it is a "thinking" one. Boys aspiring to be men is a central theme (though the "other side always looks greener"). Although a few parts were a bit exaggerated, they did not feel out-of-place. The subjects of "sneaking" (tattling), child abuse, adolescent love, etc. in boarding schools have been handled very well by Nagesh Kukunoor. It is a film about hurdling life's barriers and dealing with its issues at your own terms. The use of music at the right places improves the film's appeal.

I decided to watch this film for two basic reasons;1)Nagesh Kukunoor & 2)because I too study in a boarding school of India. This film shows the reality of a boarding life which has never ever been shown on- screen. This is precisely what happens in an Indian Boarding school, obviously somethings may vary but this is more or less precise.And if you too happen to study in one, this film will revive all the old memories, incidences, stupidness,silliness, failures and successes. Though it does not touch each and every aspect of a boarding life but still it's a must see.

My personal favorite parts are what the lead experiences in the starting of his life there, because that what happens to most of the students.

Nagesh Kukunoor's best to be placed with Iqbal I guess.

An original film with some great music from Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy and Leslie Lewis.

The direction is superb and so is the acting.

Kukunoor shines as the PT teacher but its newcomer Rajesh Naidu's film... actually its your film... and mines... you take the movie with you and you'll treasure it. It takes you back to those good old school day... the scenes seem to have been taken straight out of our lives.

The problems, the solutions... the journey... the friendship... the love...

Rockford is truly a must-watch...... a great one from Bollywood! My Rating: 10/10

Nagesh Kukunoor has done an excellent job of taking most people like me back to their childhood and into their school days which at the time appeared tedious and boring but in reality were the most magical days of our lives.

The movie is relatively short, very well made and directed. Everyone's acted well and its quite simplistic yet brilliant depiction of an All - boy school.

One of the Rarest Film which shows the Life of Boarding school in India. I have studied in Boarding school and after watching this film i just Miss Those GOLDEN days. Who all have seen it would agree. The One special Teacher we have crush on and the One Sports Sir who inspire us to be good and Tough. Awesome Film. After watching this film You tend to revisit your OLD school Pictures and all the Boarding school things You have and Remember the IMPORTANCE of the Same. Brilliant Direction story and Screen Play. Great SONG too by K.K. The Film if re-released shall do really good Business and Would be inspiring in many ways.

Just need a Blu-ray or DVD copy of it
