The movie is salutes the rock band Eagles and it is not shy honoring their rock idols with multiple references through out the movie. The movie is about the 4 members of a college rock band “Magik” who reunite after 10 years to rediscover themselves and their music. In the words of the movie’s title song “Rock On!!, Hai Yeh Waqt Ka Ishaara”. The movie was also inducted into the Oscar library.

Such was the appreciation and love for this exceptional soundtrack, that the team of S-E-L, Farhan, Arjun, Purab and Luke were featured on the September 2008 Rolling Stone cover with the title “The Making of India’s First Rock Movie”. The critics were shocked and panned the songs and it’s singer but the fans knew what they were getting as the album became one of the biggest selling albums of the year and the movie a blockbuster. Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy and Javed Akhtar composed all the songs for the movie in 5 days. What no one expected was that he would also sing the songs in his debut movie as an actor and give India it’s first true rock movie with a deserving rock track and the heart of a true rock star. A bigger surprise was on way when he decided to act in his next movie. It was surprising when he showed his brilliant skills as a director at the turn of the century with movies like Dil Chahta Hai followed by Lakshya and the remake of Don. Farhan Akhtar was born in a family of writers to the best lyricist of our era so it was expected when he started writing his first movie. Many have tried and failed so it was a pleasant surprise when an almost real rockstar emerged from one of the most unexpected places possible “Bollywood'. However a Real Indian rock star has eluded us so far. The popularity of Pink Floyd, Eagles, Def Leppard, Bryan Adams and Beatles in India is proof that we have a good base of rock fans.
