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!
The packaging and look & feel of the film is rich & colorful. The faces look fresh. The biggest trump card of the film is its music. All songs are urbanely melodious and better than each other. They also fit into the situations quite well. Cinematography and lighting is top of the line.
The story of the film is also encapsulating. Where few casual viewers relate the story to Jo Jita I think it shall be unfair to draw this parallel. A film cannot be baptized a copy only because a similar event happened in another film it's very convenient to say so In that case all love stories are copies of each other, all films that use motorbikes or cars as heroic props are.. all war films are.. all period films are and so on.
Rok Sako To Rok Lo stands out by sheer quality of its production. The scenes depicting immature love are directed with dense maturity. Debutante director Arindam Chaudhuri does not make the audience feel he's a first timer. He has made the film with refined finesse. For someone directing his first film, that too with first timers in the lead role and a heavyweight (Sunny Deol) to manage in a special role, it's a directorial triumph.
Rok Sako.. leaves behind a positive taste and cuts like a warm knife in butter.. throughout its duration. It's a good family entertainer especially if you have school going kids in your family. I hope more such films are made in India that not only entertain but also leave behind a strong message and cuts away from the usual and boring. All brawny points to Rok Sako..
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!
