Too many plot holes. In some ways, it hit home - I have a struggling amateur musician for a boyfriend. But well... after a point it just got too cheesy and unbelievable to relate to. <BR/>Loved Purab Kohli, and drooled over Arjun Rampal but wanted to blast Joe for being such an idealist. <BR/><BR/>One thing my boyfriend noticed was that the rival band in the first competition was a metal band, and the vocalist got beaten up. The rivals in the second competition were an emo/punk band. I feel this privileges classic rock over metal and emo in a way that is really not too nice. You're quite right - backstage dynamics are much more friendly, a bit like a peloton in cycling. There's a huge undercurrent and a bigger favour bank, but everyone is polite to everyone.. especially while talking shit behind their backs. <BR/><BR/>I guess this is my first comment on your blog :).

Unrealistic? Yes, but people go to movies to escape reality. Of course this is true for any type of entertainment, be it movies, plays, or rock concerts.Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14706331228965193251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7121594.post-50712708918506598172008-09-04T02:19:00.000+05:302008-09-04T02:19:00.000+05:30Yups I too liked Sahana Goswami.

Farhan looked snob, Purab was his usual chilled-out type, Rampal tried hard to look serious and surprisingly succeeded. <BR/><BR/>U haven't seen DCH, so u haven't missed much I say.
