Rock On!!

Synopsis: Sakshi Shroff, the lonely and neglected wife of busy banking executive, Aditya, decides to give him a surprise on his birthday on July 22nd, but ends surprising him not once but multiple times. While Aditya is thrilled to know that both are going to be parents, and did appear surprised by the celebration, bitterness creeps in when he notices that Sakshi had also invited some ghosts (Rob Nancy and Kedar Zaveri) from his past. This gives rise to unpleasant memories involving a failed music group 'Magik' that he had associated with about a decade ago. Sakshi will soon find out why Aditya is displeased with her; why the music group broke up, ending in violence and acrimony especially between her husband and his former friend, Joseph Mascarenhas; why they cannot perform together ever again; as well as contemplate moving out and living with her mom.

Standard four-by-four groove.

- Sure... entry chord, D major?

Rob doesn't know a thing about keyboards.

He begins every song in D major

Adi, have you written any lyrics?

Yeah

You know, there are so many things

in life we hardly think of...

simple things

Goes like this

Why is the sky blue?

Why is water so wet?

Why is the earth round?

And so on and so forth.

- Nice, very nice

Rob, let's start it with a good riff.

- Cool

Then I'll introduce texture

... seriously electronic

How's that, KD?

Why not

Joe starts with the riff,

then keyboards...

I'll kick in with the drums

and then Aditya, you can take over

KD... please!

No one takes over in this band

That's right, brothers

That's why we're called Magik

Yeah you said it, Joe

Let's try this

One... two... three... four

Why is the sky blue?

Why is water wet?

Why is the earth round?

What makes silk soft?

What makes flre hot?

Why doesn't two and two make flve?

Why are trees vanishing?

Why do we have three seasons?

Why don't we have two moons?

Why is there war?

Why flows the red?

And borders everywhere?

Ever wondered...

have you?

Ever wondered...

what's this all about?

Ever wondered...?

If you haven't, then do it now

Why do all rivers flow?

What's light, d'you know?

What makes snow fall?

Why do friends keep falling out?

Why do stars fall?

Why is there lightning in clouds?

Ever wondered...

have you?

Ever wondered...

what's this all about?

Ever wondered...?

If you haven't, then do it now

Silence can't be heard

And the wind can't be seen

Ever wondered...

have you ever?

Why skies are blue?

Why is water wet?

Why is the earth round?

What makes silk soft?

What makes flre hot?

Why don't two and two make flve?

Why are trees vanishing?

Why are there only three seasons?

Why aren't there two moons?

Why is there war?

Why flows the red?

Why are borders everywhere?

Ever wondered...

have you?

Ever wondered...

what's this all about?

Ever wondered...?

If you haven't, then do it now

Thanks, no ice

Cheers, buddy

Listen to this one

Ason tells his father,

"Papa, Mummy thinks you're an angel"

The father asks,

"Really, Mummy said that?"

The son says,

"She said, you've sprouted wings"

Come on, Andy. It's time for bed.

You'll be late for school tomorrow

Hey champ, come on, wake up

Time to go to bed

Come on

Good job, Rob

Thanks

The flute you used in this song

... it's fantastic!

Really?

Absolutely original and damn good work

It'll drive people crazy.

They'll go mad!

Thanks. I'm glad you like it

Anyway, can I go now, Anu-ji?

God bless you

Devika asked if we're going to

join them in Alibaug for the weekend

I won't be able to make it.

You should go

She has invited both of us.

Please, come on Adi

It's been over a year

since we went on holiday

I might go to Hong Kong in August

Come along

If you wish

Bye.

- Bye

Good morning, sir

I can't believe you're here

I called you.

- Listen, I'll call you, I will

Oh please, you never return my calls.

- I will call you

It's for the book. I've a deadline.

- I'll call you... bye

Come

Show me...

Who was that?

- Met him in Goa at Singhi's party

He's totally wild

Followed me all the way to Bombay

In single-minded pursuit?

He's writing a book

... his travels in India

Who knows, he might write

a chapter on me

That's creative types for you

Anyway, Aditya and you

are coming to Alibaug, aren't you?

No... Aditya can't come

God! Is he married to you or his job?

Hey, did I say something wrong?

Are you okay?

I mean... you're neither interested

in what I say, nor in what I design?

Are they so awful?

Sometimes when I see you...

I feel jealous

You're living the life you want

An interior designer... independent

With writers chasing you

all the way from Goa

Come on. You're saying this?

You are happily married,

making a home

Remember, it was you who told me,

"I'm happily married"

Yes, happily married and...

perhaps a mother soon

You're pregnant?

Congratulations!

- Thanks

Aditya must be jumping with joy...

No... I haven't told him yet

I thought, before I shock him with it,

I'd better confirm with a gynaec

What shock?

Don't you two want a baby?

No, that's not it...

It's just that... only Aditya knows

what he does or doesn't want

When I think of it, it's like

living with a stranger who loves me,

who cares for me; but I'll never know

what's in his heart and soul

You'll only find stock market quotes

I don't know Devika,

maybe I'm just nervous about this baby

Anyway, I'll have to tell him,

sooner or later...

maybe on his birthday.

- Next week, isn't it?

I want to buy him a gift.

Please help me

Of course

Hey champ! How was school?

- Fine

Have you had lunch?

- I've been waiting for you

You remember your promise

... the new tune

But I'll teach it to you, only when you

play the earlier tune without mistakes

Done.

- That's my boy

Come on, before Mummy goes...

Deliver the goods to Kadam's right now

And come back with the money,

even if you have to wait all day

But get the money today.

Got it? Now go

Leave the goods here.

Come and take your money tomorrow

Madam, I need the money now

Why do you hassle me everyday? Didn't

I tell you? Come tomorrow at eleven

Eleven o'clock?

- Yes

For sure?

- Yes

Andy, how was school today?

Like it is everyday

Funny.

Sit down for lunch

Dear Lord, thank You for

Your love and kindness today

You give us strength and nutrition

as we sit in Your presence at this table

Bless our food,

bless all those gathered here

And bless the ones in need.

In the name of Jesus, Amen

The fisherwomen were here again.

They really hound me

How much they complain!

What do I do?

There's less fish, the rates are lower,

the wholesale rate is down.

What profit?

Same old fish again...

everyday the same, same food

Sorry Nana, I can't do any better

Doing the accounts all day,

listening to the fisherwomen...

Where's the time to cook?

I mean, just smell my hands, Joe

This goddamn fish smell never goes!

Did Lionel call you back

about that show?

No

Why don't you call him?

I'll call him

Joe please, we need the money.

There're endless bills to pay

But no one watches Lionel Uncle's shows.

He doesn't even know how to tune a guitar

Just eat your food

Joe, it's a big wedding

Playing the guitar there

won't demean you in any way

We Mascarenhas' have never done

anything so cheap

Wonderful

Why haven't you sent the necklace set?

You were responsible for the delivery

Girish Bhai has called four times today.

What do I say to him?

Kedar...?

Sorry, dad

Sorry? Do you think,

saying sorry makes it okay?

You'll deliver it personally this evening.

Understood?

Go

Devika, this is perfect

Oh that's lovely,

I think he's going to like that

Give me Girish Bhai's package

I think it's the best of all these.

- I agree

Excuse me

Can you inscribe "Aditya" on the back?

And 22nd July

Excuse me...

Aditya, 22nd July?

Why? Can't it be done?
