Rok Sako To Rok Lo

This is the first comment i am writing on IMDb, despite being a regular here. The movie was so bad that it forced me to write this comment. You really need to see the movie to believe that it could be have made at all. Apparently, if you have a lot of money, and enough ego, a drivel like this can be put across.

This is THE movie to watch at a film school. All film makers in the making should watch this film to avoid pitfalls and obvious errors. Each scene is a class in itself. HOW NOT TO WRITE A MOVIE. Everything that could go wrong is incorporated in it. Almost as if it was designed to be bad. From the script to the incomplete characters, to the use of bad casting, to the hyperbole marketing. This movie shows what happens when one lacks aesthetic sensibilities in a domain.

The only reason i wrote this is to warn other wannabe film makers with lots of money in the pocket, but not enough time spent watching and studying the craft.... A clear case of "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing." the hack who made this travesty of a film (runing out of negative qualifiers), gives dilettantes a bad name. An even more casual dabbler of film making could have made a better thing (notice how i refrain from calling it a movie/ film)

A management "guru" can at best be good at transferring knowledge of academic nature. Trying to translate that academic knowledge into a living, breathing film is a totally different ball game. Look what happened when they put the worlds economy in the hands of MBAs. Come to think of it, the reason i am so upset, is the gall with which the movie was promoted, and proclaimed a hit even before it was released. Did someone forget the cardinal marketing sin? The fastest way to kill a product is to advertise a bad product heavily.

N.B. do watch the film, it will surprise you no end. Dekh sako to Dekh lo. Also, there are some comments in this section claiming it to be good enough to get a 10. I am quite sure they passed out of IIPM with good grades!

Rok sako to rok lo is story revolving around the rivalry between students of two different schools.It is about how much they really disliked each other and how eager they wanted to beat the other in any competition.Sounds quite familiar and common story.But all doesn't end here.This movie is more than just the story.Debutante director and many new faces makes the film really fresh and new.Not for once it looked like the director of the film is working as a debutante. It stars Sunny Deol,Yash Pandit and Manjari Fandis.Yash and Manjari were among the others making debut with the film. We all love such stories and the best and this movie does satisfy to a huge extent.Its really good and an entertaining movie.Must be seen once to know more about the interesting story and the ending.

After a long time I have seen a film that scores well on all fronts. This film leaves a happy taste behind and creates a great feel good mania.

Acting of all the new comers is commendable and direction very good.

Music and lyrics are really nice and so is the story.

Best thing about the film is the climax that makes sure you are standing on one feet for entire 15-20 minutes. The confrontation scenes between the two school have a lot of energy and appeal. My nephew saw the film thrice and with his entire gang of friends who are as crazy.

I think Rok Sako to rok lo is one of my all time favorites!

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.

Before, I say anything, let's all take a moment to laugh at Sunny Deol. Ha ha ha! He's so random in this movie. For the first half he comes in at any random scene, drives his "ooo aaa" (not really) motorcycle in his punk/don't-mess-with-me (not really) look with his scraggly long hair and ill-fitting leather jacket. No wonder all the "high school" students in the movie look up to him as their idol. (Actually, we all wonder.) It's so funny, in one his scenes, it's shows him driving in slow motion for a couple of seconds. It's not actually slow motion! He's just driving really slow, and he looks really dumb! Enough of Sunny Deol's "inspirational" role and back to the main story or lack thereof. I don't know what's going on with this movie but it seems like they're just trying to recreate the lame fresh/innocent atmosphere in the recent Barjatya films. The only thing worse than being lame is trying to be lame, making you even more lame. Songs were terrible except for the title track, which was good. The main actor and actress gave good debuts. If you have nothing better to do (which I'm sure is not true), watch this movie just to laugh at Sunny Deol.
