As ROCK ON now been declared an official hit, and has been able to dispel a pal of gloom hovering over the industry, it is an appropriate moment to go down the memory lane and revisit the band based movies that have made their mark in the Hindi film industry.

1. PADOSAN: It was the first film in the real sense that brought out in details the trails and travails that a small town orchestra party has to suffer if it wants to stand on its fit. Though the characters addressed themselves as a drama party, it was an admixture of a band comprising of all the unconventional instruments, right from a broom, to a comb and what not. It was through this film that R D Burman provided an insight into the kind of instruments that he used to give music.
