I saw Kal ho na ho and Rock on back to back, sipping hot chocolate in my comforter.
And I started thinking what if Karan Johar had made Rock On! It would've been a hilarious tragedy.
- For starters, Shahrukh will be in Farhan's place (but natural).
- There will be more focus on the ego clash between him and Arjun Rampal. A mutual love interest will be the focal point of the drama.
- Shahrukh will get the girl. Arjun Rampal will remain heartbroken and single and will take refuge in his music and alcohol.
- When he refuses to listen to Prachi Desai's idea of getting back together with the band, Shahrukh's Maa (Jaya Bachhan!?!) will be roped in to persuade him. That always works like a charm.
- Before they go on stage for the final concert, Maa will feed him Mandir ka prashad and say 'ja beta jaa, Bharat ka naam roshan karo' (don't ask). Okay, this isn't just a K-Jo special, applies to all old Hindi movies in general.
- The 'Tum ho to' song will be dedicated to (no points for guessing) Shahrukhs Maa. Who will promptly proceed to (again no points for guessing) bawl her eyes out.
Climax: At the concert on-stage the last song is on. Mid-way through it, Shahrukh has a coughing fit. There will be blood. From the nose possibly. (That imagery GROSSED me out. Naturally.) Yet, as Maa and wife and the rest of them watch on with their hearts in their mouths, he proceeds to finish the song. Clearly struggling though. Everyone is on their feet screaming his name (Rahul, ofcourse!) at the end of the show. He collapses, screaming, 'Maa...!'
*SILENCE* (heartbeat music)Maa rushes to stage screaming, 'Betaa...!' Followed by slower wife (naturally). Hugs. Tears. Shahrukh wheezing and gasping. Grabs mike. Some more tears. Apologises to Rampal for the past and asks him to *gasp* marry Prachi Desai after his death. 'I love you all! The music *gasp! wheeze!* must go on. WE MUST....WE MUST ROCK ON!' Proceeds to die on stage. V.v.sad chorus version of 'Tum ho to...' plays in the background, fade out.
Titles read: And then Joe (Arjun Rampal) married Sakshi (Prachi Desai) and had a baby later and they named him Rahul (naturally!).
The End.
