Farhan Akhtar knows how to make smash hit debuts. He wowed us with his directorial debut, Dil Chahta Hai, and followed it up with an excellent acting debut in Rock On!!.
Rock On!!, a film tracing the lives of a boy band going separate ways, and then re-uniting many years later, saw some great music as well. Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy managed to bring out the best in Farhan, who also made his singing debut here.
From the distant husband, trapped in a mechanical job, to getting his life back when he re-discovered music, Farhan got the nuances of acting right. Shahana Goswami, who played Arjun Rampal's wife in the film, also deserves special mention for her first noticeable movie role. She has featured briefly in Yun Hota Toh Kya Hota and Honeymoon Travels Pvt Ltd earlier.
