Rock ‘n’ Roll


This movie is not a success one.The movie doe not rock as per the title.

This movie is about Mohanlal tries to compose his songs in kodambakkam ,Chennai.I
In Chandraolsavam the Mohanlal character Srihari, internationally reputed student doing research on music and was living in the culture capital of the world Paris for years before deciding to come down to Kerala to spend time with old friends. He mouths punch dialogues in his inimitable style, has a way with women, enjoys and sings classical music, can speak Sanskrit slokas, has a battalion of friends, is an expert fighter and drinks everything from Nadan(Todday) to scotch whisky!

Now with Rock ‘n’ Roll, Srihari has metamorphosed into Chandramouli an internationally reputed drummer, introduced in the film as an “Ullagam Sutrum Valibhan (globe trotter), who is one day in London, next day in Cape Town and a day after in Chennai! He has played with all major music troupes in the world and is a close friend of Zakir Hussain and A.R Rahman. He will do anything for friends and is a compulsive womaniser and an alcoholic who in front of his bedroom mirror confesses for the first time when he gets smitten by a girl.


Mouli sees it also an opportunity to catch up with his old music troupe consisting of Henry (Rahman) the keyboard player, Issac (Lal) the violinist, Balu(Harisri Asokhan) the tabla player and Viswanathan (Mukesh) a music director. Meenakshi (Shwetha Menon) a choreographer, an old flame of Chandramouli joins the party, as they make merry.
 Chandramouli, falls in love for the first time in his life with Daya Srinivasan (Lakshmi Rai), a Mumbai based singer whom he meets during the Lal Jose’s music recording done by Guna.Friend Khader Bhai (Jagathy) so that he can woo and win over Daya who is protected by her mother and a rich businessman who wants to marry her, so the story goes to that track.

The story lost the track somewhere and it did not show the continuity and made the viewers disappointed.
