Rock On!! Page #2

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.

It's not that...

Actually, I had a friend, Aditya.

His birthday is also on 22nd July

This Aditya...?

He's my husband

His full name?

Aditya Shroff

Oh my God!

Aditya Shroff... is he fair...

and lean?

Has long hair

Short sighted but won't wear specs...

and writes wonderful poetry?

Poetry? You're definitely

talking of some other Aditya

I'm sorry, I think I got carried away

It'll be ready by day after... right?

Thanks

Okay

Same name, same birthday...?

Too much of a coincidence.

- You're right

Excuse me

What's your name?

I'll tell my husband

Killer Drummer.

If he's the same Aditya, he'll know

Jignesh Bhai,

have you ever been unhappy

about your investments with us?

It's a done deal, boss

We manage most of the

foreign investments in the market

We're picking up huge stakes

in the infrastructure sector

Yes... India is booming, sir

Sleep without a care.

Your wealth is in safe hands

Sure

My best to your wife.

God be with you

Mr Bajaj would like to meet you

on the fourteenth floor

I'll be right there

Come in

Yes, sir...

Aditya...

- Yes, sir?

How do you like this office?

It's... very nice, sir

It's yours

The management has decided to

promote you

Thank you, sir

Oh no... don't thank me

It's all your hard work

So, congratulations.

- Thank you, very much

I'll see you later

Oh and one more thing...

Enjoy the view

Why don't we celebrate your

promotion and birthday together?

Let's throw a party on the 22nd

No, don't bother throwing a party

I'll just take my colleagues

out to lunch tomorrow

Whenever you make any plans,

it's with your colleagues

Is your social life

incomplete without them?

Sakshi... that's life

By the way,

a strange thing happened today

Do you know any Killer Drummer?

Aditya, are you listening?

Do you know a guy called

Killer Drummer?

No

Killer Drummer...

strange name, isn't it?

Where did you meet him?

At a jewellery store

Devika needed to buy something

and we were talking about you

...and he said he knew an

Aditya Shroff who wrote poetry

Interesting

And as we spoke, I discovered that

the other Aditya Shroff's birthday...

is also on 22nd July

Strange, isn't it?

Very strange

Sleep now

Good night

Good night

Sinbad the Sailor sailed away

one day...

looking for his... na na na na... way

One minute...

It's not working, guys

Not quite right?

Shall we try something new, Rob?

Okay

Okay, take it from the top

KD, you start

and I'll join you on the fourth bar

Ready...

- Ready?

Sh*t

Sorry

Joe broke the glass

Debbie boxed his ears

We all laughed

at how you got stuck

And just like that,

Joe left the band

Packed my business cards?

- Yeah

Namdeo

Namdeo

Where were you?

Get another bag

Adi, you go on

I'll send your suitcase

to the office

Okay, thanks

Okay, get another bag from the loft

Wait... I'll come too

God knows what junk is up there

Take this box out,

give it away

Wait... these too

What's that package up there?

Bring it down

Put it here

Open it

Okay, I'll check it

I left some papers on the side table.

Please put them away, they're important

Adi...

- Yeah?

Have a safe flight

Bye

So, I was right!

Where is Aditya these days?

What's he doing now?

You should have brought him along.

- He's away in Delhi

I'm planning a surprise party at home

for him on May 22nd

If you and the rest of your band can come,

it'll be great

Areunion party? Wow! Of course!

We should've had a reunion

a long time ago

But I had no idea that Aditya

was in Bombay

And it's been ages since

I've spoken to Rob and Joe

Anyway, did Aditya say

anything about us?

No, I was hoping you'd tell me more

I found these.

- Oh my God!

Oh God... that's Aditya?

It's impossible to recognise him

And this is you?

You're looking so wild

Everything's changed,

my hairstyle most definitely

Wow

That's Joe.

Our lead guitarist

Aditya always said,

Joe's fingers made magic

Joe said the same

about Aditya's voice

That's why our band was called Magik

Magic?

You know, when Aditya arrived in Bombay,

he lived with Joe for three months

Rob, our backbone

He did all the programming

and the bass sections

Sheer genius

Aditya, the poet

I'm sure you know this poet

I'll tell you how crazy he was

Suddenly, one day he says,

"Let's go to Goa"

No packing, nothing.

Just go

And we just set off

Aditya's dream, was that Magik would have

a tour bus and we'd just head off

There'd be no turning back

And all of us believed

it would turn out exactly like that

In our twenties, we think

the world will dance to our tune

Sorry, I'm boring you with all this talk

No. You've told me so much.

Thanks

I'll talk to Rob and Joe.

I can't guarantee they'll come

But I'll definitely come.

- Please try and bring them

I'll try my best

What was it 24123489 or 59?

It takes you so long

to pick up the phone?

KD...?

- Yes, Mr D-major

Holy sh*t! Is that really you?

Yes

Where are you?

- When can you meet me?

Just tell me where.

- Jazz by the bay. Nine thirty

Done.

- Great, see you there

KD, turn down the volume

Are you mad?

Hello... hi

Really... okay

Okay... thanks a lot. Bye

Guys!

That was my friend from Channel V.

I styled some of his shows

He called with some special news

You're really lucky

Shut up, KD

There's going to be a contest

The winning band gets to cut an album

and make a music video

Let's go for it, guys

We'll need new equipment

Good cymbals for KD.

Anew mike for you, Adi

You need a new distortion pedal

And for me, another tea

Uncle Khursheed, one more tea

In all, we'll need about

fifty five thousand

The band's savings are

twenty thousand

Maybe I can wangle five thousand from dad

That makes twenty five thousand.

Which leaves...

Thirty thousand.

Einstein!

I have some cash...

about three or four thousand...

- Really?

I can give you that

I've got about the same

Adi, can't you ask your Dad?

No chance, man

He won't give it. I know

Punishing me for not doing an MBA

Dads...

There's a way out.

Raghav Yedekar

Sounds like a goon...

He organizes shows.

Musicfrom old films

Totally different from our music

The audience is different too

Old film music?

We'll need a sitar, harmonium, ten tablas!

Guitars and keyboards won't do

Really Rob, I can't do it either

Hang on, Joe

Who says we can't play old songs

on guitars and drums?

We'll choose our songs

and do them in our style

With the Magik touch

Like breath is needed...

Like breath is needed for life

Yes, a sweetheart is needed,

for love

Like a flame is needed,

Like a flame is needed,

for light

Yes, a sweetheart is needed,

for love

This day comes,

in the season of youth

When eyes meet eyes,

even water catches flre

I'm going to take you high, my baby

Fly with me

Fly high

Marry me, Susie!

- Someday

You're amazing!

So, Aditya doesn't know about the party?

That's what a surprise is all about

Let's see how he takes the surprise

I'm in.

- Good

So what other news...?
