Rock On 2 (2016) Hollywood Movie Review By Times Of India
Also, the script is a major downer. It is way too contrived, directionless and morose to hold your interest. With no strong conflict point to hold it all together, the story goes haywire. The narration tries too hard to manipulate your feelings and spoon-feed emotions by explaining the unsaid thoughts of the characters, depriving you the joy of discovering it for yourself. The music is shockingly weak. Barring the Usha Uthup track, it is not a patch on the former’s iconic tracks. Having said that, we are still open to a third instalment, provided Magik finds a valid reason to reunite. After all, music needs to come from the heart for you to feel it.

Rock On 2 (2016) Hollywood Movie Review By Gulfnews
Rock On 2 strengthens my belief that it’s never a good idea to make a sequel unless there’s some unfinished business that the world needs to know about. The second instalment of the hit 2008 musical Rock On!!, starring Farhan Akhtar, Shraddha Kapoor, Arjun Rampal and Purab Kohli, seems terribly contrived and insipid. It isn’t backed by a solid script.The magic and charm that were evident in the original film, which chronicled the reunion of a college band, Magik, are missing in its sequel.The twists seem forced and the introduction of the two new bandmates seem unnecessary. Watch this only if you are a Rock On groupie, otherwise skip it.

Rock On 2 (2016) Hollywood Movie Review By Masala
A good sequel is one that starts from where the prequel ended and retains the essence of the original. Rock On 2 scores full marks in that department. The film starts with the last stage performance of Magik and gradually takes us into the lives of each member of the band.Shujaat Saudagar, in his debut movie, pieces together all his characters one by one, who are deeply affected by either a tragedy, guilt or success. It’s interesting how Joe and Aditya seem to have exchanged not only their houses but personalities as well. Rock On 2 is a good attempt on following a band’s story. We miss Luke’s Rob but we do welcome the new band members who are effortlessly brought into the band.
