Rock'n Roll

Plot synopsis:
Rock N' Roll tells the story of Chandramouli (Mohanlal), a composer and drummer, of his return to Chennai from South Africa for a brief visit, and of the incidents happening in that short span.
Gunasekharan (Siddique), a leading music composer, is busy with his composition for the latest film directed by Lal Jose. He feels, it would be better, if he gets the help of his old friend Chandramouli, who is now busy with his international concerts. But Mouli, a fun loving and jovial musician, makes a surprise landing in Chennai and helps Guna in his work.
Mouli accidentally falls in love with Daya Sreenivasan (Lakshmi Rai), the female playback singer, who is also an ardent fan of Mouli. But because of the compulsions from her parents and fiancé, Vivek (Anoop Menon), she moves back to Mumbai.
Mouli plots a plan with his friend Thabala Balu (Harisree Ashokan) to bring her back to Chennai. He makes Daya believe that he is now composing a dozen songs for a film and wants Daya to sing it.
Daya, who comes back to Chennai, is not impressed by Mouli's tunes. When she openly expresses her unhappiness over the tune, Mouli takes it as a prestige issue and composes a song entirely dedicated to her. However, Daya is unable to attend the studio on that particular date as she is getting married to Vivek, whom she feels is too arrogant and sophisticated for her.
Mouli enters the marriage venue and takes Daya to the studio for 30 minutes despite the opposition from her family members. Daya, who within time is fully in love with Mouli, realizes his love for her and opens her mind to him.
The film ends with Mouli relaxing at a beach with Daya, but his old habits of carefree nature and passion for girls still not gone.

Review:
A look at the French film industry from an insider.
I had the good fortune of having a tiny speaking part in this movie, a first for me.
The Director and Star of the movie, Mr Guillaume Canet, is a charming and very gracious person and made us all feel comfortable and welcome.
The movie is about an actor who fears he is no longer at his peak at only the age of about 43 and all the drastic measures he takes to recreate himself in a younger image.
I think all people at a certain age can relate to this, but especially film actors.
His cast is made up of several famous French actors and actresses playing themselves, including the director's real life partner Marion Cottilard.
This is a comedy and there are some really funny moments but it is also full of pathos as you see the man go through near hell to try to become physically younger and ruin his looks and nearly ruin his marriage.
Great performance from Mr Canet who co-wrote the script.
And he surrounded himself with actor friends and even a few family members to make the film even more personal.
it was a marvelous experience for me and i think the film is a great way to spend 2 hours and enjoy seeing the inside of the French cinema world..
great piece of self-irony.
the movie "Rock'n Roll" shot by Guillaume Canet is quite entertaining yet disclosing film of what it's like to be an actor in modern day.
characters have their real names, action happens on a daily basis and that gives movie documentary esthetic.
Marion Cotillard plays her role in an extremely good way as always.the movie is full of funny scenes.All in all it show how over-commercialized is film industry and how it destroys your identity and the way of living..
Tres amusant.
I went into this film in Sydney with very little in the way of expectations.
I found it extremely funny, and Canet is extremely self depreciating throughout the film as he looks as his life as an elder statesman of French cinema.
The film is very funny, and excels in revealing the nuances of French cinema through Canet and his wife Marion Cotillard.
I felt that it definitely could have been about half an hour shorter, so could have done with tighter editing perhaps.
However, if you want a feel-good film look no further.
Allez Canet..
still funny and pathetic the second time.
Weldone to the all crew to have been able to kept a straight face for 2 hours.
knowing the all story started from a real interview like at the start of the movie....so many inside joke i am surprised he didn t had more viewing.
thanks,definitly part of my collection.
and really good to see this couple in real life being so complice on the screen.
an inside joke?.
This film although funny in parts sounds more like an inside joke than anything else.
Two ace actors seemingly playing at acting and around the craft of acting; like watching Jimi Hendrix playing before a gig; warming up.
The storyline is pitiful and could only resonate with 40-something actors.
I am a huge fan of both actors here and rate Tell No One (Ne le dis à personne) as one of the best movies of the last 20 years; but this here I shall say it again seems like an inside joke; something you dreamt up and or thought of doing but should probably not have allowed to get a real airing ...
At times you seriously question the sanity of the endeavour.
Maybe therapeutic :)
Shame.
Still: watch it if you like Canet and Cotillard..
Very bad movie.
Guillaume Canet had shown us films much more interesting.This one is really bad.
Neither the scenario, nor the image, nor the sound are good.What is the meaning of this film?
Making Money Easily by Taking Guillaume Canet and Marion Cottilard in the casting.It's really a movie to avoid.
In the jargon: a turnip..
Super funny film!.
I'm surprised that the rating isn't higher because this is one of the best French films I've watched!
I'm Canadian and my husband is French and there are plenty of jokes that made me appreciate the film.
You'll know what I'm talking about if you actually watch the film.
I don't want to spoil it for the audience.
Both Guillaume Canet and Marion Cotillard did a fabulous job poking fun at themselves and their careers.
They kept the film light yet not cheesy.
