Vijay,
I do not think its possible to identify the bird on the basis of the photograph alone. The Blue Rock Thrush winters in the Indian plains, departing for its breeding grounds in Mar-April, so it could be the Rock Thrush.
Anything more about the area and habitat, might offer a clue, too.
The MWT normally prefers wet areas, typically along the Western Ghats, though it does spread to the plains, too.
The Rock Thrush almost always like rocky, stony habitat, it is unlikely to be found in a forested habitat.
If you saw the bird in dense forests, I would say that the bird is the Malabar Whistling Thrush.

Can it be Malbar Whistling Thrush (Myophonus horsfieldii)? See the plate no.84 (6) of Kazmierzak's field guide and the plate no.96 (6) of Grimmett's pocket guide. The size is 25 cm that is +bulbul.
