“Away….. Where no concept of right –doing and wrong-doing… there lies my field.” These last words, which I recall, written at the end of movie were the theme of the movie, I guess. The movie showed the grey shades of passion. The story revolves around a character who wants to do big in life with his ability of guitar. The guitarist cum vocalist pitched in all sorts of start-up places, but in vein. Looking at great artists, he feels that there needs to be pain in life which encourages the skill of an artist. But in his case… He finds he had everything a middle class family should have. Even he counts the types of pain which could bolster the artist in him, but he had none. The crux is the pain in life, which can motivate you to anything.

Fate of the protagonist seems to have odds against him for it showered all the pain he imagined. Or otherwise he was lucky to have all the pain which lead him to what he wanted to be in life. But the intrusion of a psychic feeling as ascending the success ladder while enduring all the pain inflicted on him is what went wrong in his earlier smooth life. And it rendered him wayward. His love life too had ill-fate, which revived stronger on their reunion, but for worse at least for the people associated with them. Sheer affection and lust beyond the realm of social bondage could be a describing phrase for their relationship. Various emotions of trust and responsibility intermingled with the freedom from the same is what director wanted to portray and succeeded in that fairly if not with excellence.

It was highly musical as suggested by the promos. If you do not like rock music, then it could be a cacophony for you. Some places in the first half of the movie may lose you as some scenes stretches little longer but it again holds you back easily. Initial build up of the story with the female protagonist seems a sudden jump to higher compatibility level with the opposite lead. Beyond that it runs smooth. Overall the film was good with the music, lyrics and cinematography being the strongest pillars. Movie achieves what it wanted to be, for sure. I mean which was conceptualized, that was portrayed. You shall hate the movie if you don’t like the subject itself.  So movie-goers can taste the recipe!
