India's iPod generation is in thrall to Bryan Adams, Metallica et al, and this has lead to the creation of India's first rock movie, Rock On!!, which is as lame as the title suggests.įilled with big-screen debutantes (Farhan Akhtar, Arjun Rampal, Prachi Desai and Luke Kenny), the film is a humourless, soulless combination of Thirtysomething and Spinal Tap, focusing on four former band members who left music behind to become tedious middle-class squares. A friend of mine, who's researching a book on contemporary Indian youth culture, knows of three hundred bands in Bangalore alone. I ndia is currently thronging with wannabe rock acts.
