==Plot==
''Rock On!!'' begins in [[Mumbai]], with the [[rock music|rock]] [[rock band|band]] Magik, in 1998. The band are best friends and enjoy a carefree, freewheeling life together. Aditya Shroff ([[Farhan Akhtar]]) is the lead singer who rebelled against his well-to-do family to play music. Joseph (Joe) Mascarhenas ([[Arjun Rampal]]) is the lead guitarist who feels the necessity to prove his worth as a musician. Keyboardist Rob Nancy ([[Luke Kenny]]) and drummer Kedar Zaveri (a.k.a. KD/"Killer Drummer") ([[Purab Kohli]]) comprise the remainder of the band. After a competition is announced by [[Channel V]], they decide to enter, as the winner will be offered an album contract and at least one music video.

Magik win the competition, but soon realise they will have to go through some sacrifices while signing the contract. Joe feels the most slighted when a song he wrote for his girlfriend, Debbie ([[Shahana Goswami]]), which was the only slow track on the entire album, is excluded from the track list to make space for a remix song. Debbie is also rejected as the band's stylist without even being called for any demonstration. Later, when filming the music video, the band are forced to wear clothes they do not like, and the cameramen focus only on Aditya. Joe becomes furious at Aditya and the director, hitting them both before leaving with Debbie. Aditya, who failed to notice that anything was amiss, is shocked and as the band loses their contract, he reacts by abandoning music as well his girlfriend Tania ([[Nicolette Bird]]). "Magik" thus disbands and its members become estranged.

Ten years later, Aditya is a wealthy, high-powered investment banker with a beautiful wife, Sakshi ([[Prachi Desai]]), and a luxury home, yet he is constantly unhappy. Hoping to relieve his habitual sullen mood, Sakshi decides to gift him a gold-chain wrist watch for his birthday. She meets her friend Devika ([[Koel Purie]]) at a jewellery shop, which by chance is owned by KD's father and where KD himself is working, albeit unenthusiastically. He overhears Sakshi talking about Aditya and introduces himself. Sakshi later conveys the meeting to Aditya who denies having ever known anyone called KD. Soon afterwards, while Aditya is away on a business trip, Sakshi finds a box containing old photos and videos of Magik. She takes them to show KD and asks him come to a birthday party she is planning for Aditya, and to invite the rest of the band.

KD meets with Rob, who now makes a living composing [[jingle]]s for advertisements. Together, they invite Joe, who is now married to Debbie but lives largely unemployed, with an eight-year-old son. The family is supported by Debbie, who has a small fishing business but who also holds a grudge against the band for the way it affected Joe. Joe feels he should reconcile with his old friends, but Debbie sees this as his weakness. KD and Rob thus attend the party without Joe, and Aditya is shocked to see them. He later scolds Sakshi for trying to dig up his past, which he claims to have left behind. Sakshi is hurt, and she leaves him after informing him that she is pregnant. Devika persuades Aditya to face his past and meet with his ex-bandmates. KD, Joe, and Rob meet up and visit the place where they used to practice as a band. Aditya also arrives and reconciles with Joe and the rest. They start practicing regularly at Aditya's house. Learning about this, Sakshi, too, returns to Aditya.

Channel V announces another contest, and at Rob's insistence, the band enters. Meanwhile, Debbie arranges a guitar-playing job for Joe on a cruise ship, which is due to set sail on the same day as the contest. It is later discovered that Rob is dying of a brain tumour and his last wish is to perform with Magik. The contest is aired on the radio, and while Joe is on his way to the airport, he hears Magik perform the song he wrote for Debbie ten years earlier, which they dedicate to him. This prompts him to join the band at the competition, where he and Aditya sing a duet in a triumphant performance.

The epilogue reveals that Rob died two months after that performance. Sakshi gives birth to a baby boy, whom they name "Rob" in memory of their friend. Devika is dating KD, who starts a record company with Joe. Debbie quits her job in the fishing business and becomes a successful stylist. The band members and their families meet every weekend to keep the band's "Magik" alive forever.

Other critics gave the film mixed reviews. [[Rajeev Masand]] of [[CNN-IBN]] gave the film three out of five stars and states: "With ''Rock On'', director Abhishek Kapoor promises a true-blue band film, but ultimately delivers a masala Hindi film that just happens to be about a band [...] Yet, ''Rock On'' is rescued by some marvelous moments that stay with you until the end."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://ibnlive.in.com/news/masands-verdict-rock-on-rocks--wanted-is-good-fun/72473-8-single.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090826161001/http://ibnlive.in.com/news/masands-verdict-rock-on-rocks--wanted-is-good-fun/72473-8-single.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=26 August 2009 |title=Rock On!! review: CNN-IBN |publisher=Ibnlive.in.com |access-date=15 June 2011}}</ref>
