Rock off

Suddenly there seems to be an infusion of rock star parodies in Bollywood. Channel surfing, as I chance upon one of several sporting desi tunes, I notice every second song has someone with a guitar. In one, Sanjay Dutt, no less, plays the drums. And does so in a manner that would embarrass any person who has any idea of how the drums are played.
I didn’t see Rock On, but musical instruments and Bollywood have never really been in tune. And there is no sign that will change soon. Not even in Rock On does it look real.
