Movie > hindi > Rocket Singh - Salesman of the Year Rated 3 star by Kshitij Mehta
Rocket Singh - Salesman of the Year

With hardly any promotion or marketing efforts, what would get people to 'pocket this Rocket'?
1. Yashraj which has almost lost credibility now.
2. The flavour of the season Ranbir Kapoor and
3. Director Shimit Amin (who has a 100% track record)

So is this combo deal worth your while?

From the first frame, RSSOTY has a very simple believable feel; far away from the glossy fields and snowy caps Yashraj is famous for.

It is the story of Harpreet Singh Bedi (Ranbir Kapoor). Just about scraping through his graduation, he decides to take up the job of a salesman at a company selling computers. He finds it hard to get his bearings in the company because he refuses to bend the rules and play the game. Being noble and honest, Harpreet realises that his ideologies are not followed by others and hence he decides to start his own company. He takes along other colleagues from the office and embarks on a journey to reach to the top, which is fraught with obstacles and leads to an interesting destination.

Rocket Singh does have many script flaws. How does one run a company while working at another? How does one manage to get orders without an office address?
Regardless of all this and more, the beauty of the film lies in it's simplicity and of course, its performances.

Ranbir Kapoor is no more the next big thing. He has arrived. He delivers a stupendous performance, his best to date and can be compared to the big names in the business today....

He carries this film single - handedly and deserves the 'superstar' tag.
His boss Puri pitches in a memorable performance and is supported by porn crazed maintenance guy D.Santosh, team lead Naveen Kaushik as well as the loud and brash receptionist Gauhar Khan. Cute newcomer Shahzahn Padamsee is virtually non-existent.

While the film is well made and has a great feel to it, it could definitely be trimmed a bit. While the screenplay and dialogues by Jaideep Sahani are well written, the duo don't quite create the magic of 'Chak De'. The humour in the film is dry but it brings a smile to your face. The climax is cliched though, and the deserved a better effort.

At the end of it, Rocket Singh is a film with soul. It makes you like Harpreet Singh and live the life of a salesman.

I recommend you to catch Rocket Singh, a one time watch for sure.
