Majorthebys Charming and brutal

GarnettTeenage The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

namashi_1 Shimit Amin's 'Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year' is an underrated Gem from 2009! An overlooked stellar film, that's both, humorous & poignant. And Ranbir Kapoor is top-notch, yet again! 'Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year' Synopsis: Harpreet Singh Bedi (Ranbir Kapoor), a Sikh B Com graduate, joins a sales company to push his career, only to later realize that's working under corrupts. Harpreet then decides to teach his bosses a lesson, by starting a company of his own, without their knowledge. 'Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year' has a strong script, which undoubtedly, is its trump card. Jaideep Sahni's Screenplay, which focuses on an underdog, is so sharp & humorously written, that I was arrested in the goings-on. The characters, though diverse, work wonderfully & the dialogue, are pure gold. Its sad that 'Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year' didn't fare well & not many people saw it. Disappointing indeed!Shimit Amin's Direction is perfect. Cinematography captures the claustrophobic atmosphere, ably. Editing is good, but the film could've been trimmed, by 15-20 minutes. Salim-Sulaiman's Score is wonderful.Performance-Wise: Ranbir is a chameleon. Seriously, how fearless can this actor get? Right from playing a love-struck lover in Saawariya, to a Casanova in Bachna Ae Hasseno, to playing a Rockstar in Rockstar, to playing the ever-lively Barfi & to 'Rocket Singh'. His extraordinary portrayal here of the underdog deserves distinction marks. A Special Mention for the delightful supporting cast, that includes Prem Chopra (outstanding), Gauhar Khan (fantastic), D. Santosh (fabulous), Mukesh Bhatt (terrific) & Manish Chaudhary (deliciously mean). Shazahn Padamsee, in her debut role, is barely passable.On the whole, 'Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year' is a winner. Go, visit this gem that you might have missed!

silvan-desouza Yashraj is a banner who normally does mainstream entertainers with huge cast and big locales.etc but this time there made an offbeat film ROCKET SINGH. The trailers gave an indication of a youthful entertainer something like WAKE UP SID. But the film is completely different.It shows life in a corporate world, the snake and ladder games played by the corporate bosses.etc The characters aren't sugarcoated but seem straight to life though the resolution may seem a bit hard to digest but in the end the film manages to make a large impression.Direction by Shimit Amin(Ab Tak 56 and CDI) is superb Music by Salim Sulaiman is used as background, Pocket mein rocket is missingDialogues are superbAmongst actors Ranbhir Kapoor plays a normal character and that works, he isn't larger then life like APKGK. He does a superb job and proves he can carry films that are offbeat too Shazahn Padamsee does a superb job for her debut, Prem Chopra is admirable, Gauhar Khan is superb too D.Santosh for once in not a cop role does a superb job Manish Chaudhary who went on to prove his villainy further in Jannat 2 and Blood Money was launched here and he does a brilliant job The guy playing his subordinate does a good job too rest are all good

Anil G Rocket Singh comes with significant expectations, being directed by Shimit Amin (Chak De India and Ab Tak Chappan) and proves to be an entertaining movie with good substance.The film is about newly-graduated Harpreet Singh Bedi who manages to get a job as a salesman. We are then shown how Bedi adjusts to this new life. The storyline is fresh and Shimit Amin succeeds at depicting the difficulties Bedi faces as a rookie in a cut-throat competition while also keeping the film very entertaining. It is quite inspiring to watch the unfolding of a new generation of salesmen. The screenplay also runs very smoothly but I have the feeling that one would expect more from a story written by Jaideep Sahni, especially after excellent to very competent writing in Chak De India, Company and Khosla Ka Ghosla. The ending seems to be rushed and should probably have been given more attention.I admire the director for not including any dance sequences in the film as it does not really need any. Having the actors dance to the average music by Salim Suleiman would not have added anything to the plot and would have halted the excellent narrative.I think Ranbir Kapoor has done a good job in this film as he steps into the shoes of Rocket Singh very well. However, one could argue that depicting a salesman is far from challenging.All in all, Rocket Singh is a fun watch and will leave you with a smile and has some of the 'feel good' factor that Chak De India had.

Vikas SS Coming from the writer of movies like ‘Khosla ka Ghosla’ it was expected that Rocket Singh would have in core, a simplistic protagonist driven by values put in an unforgiving world leading him to come up with intelligent solutions driven by honesty albeit with a twist. Directed by Shmit Amin of ‘Chak De’ fame, the movie lives up to its expectations, especially those hinged around Ranbir, script writer Jaideep Sahani and its Director! Fresh out of college and low on marks, Ranbir, the young Sardar lives on the principle of ‘number kam hai, dimaag nahi’ (my marks are low, but not my brains) and believes firmly in his skills of persuasion. His belief leads him to join the sales team of AYS, a computer assembly and service company. Tough benchmarks set by his street-smart sales manager Nitin and boss Puri and revelations of corporate corruption bring the honest youngster down to earth with a thud.Sympathizing his helplessness, receptionist Koyna played by Gauhar Khan minus the charm from her Miss India days, gives him a lead. He soon discovers that the profit on delivering those computers on his own gets him more money, he recruits his porn obsessed colleague Giri to assemble them for a share in profit. An insult by Puri, leads him to expand his own ‘Rocket Sales’ business based on values, secretly within AYS.Going the Khosla ka Ghosla way and living on the essence of goodness and heart that movies like the Munnabhai or its likes thrived on, Rocket Singh sells his way by being a decent entertainer with realistic characters. The sales struggle, typical office environs, simple office parties, hard nosed bosses, etc make sure that the movie does not lose its touch of reality. Nevertheless, sermons on goodness tend to bore you at times though.Neat script apart, Music doesn’t have emphasis. Even the song ‘pocket mein rocket’ is not seen in the film. Other pitfalls include the seemingly long first half. Talking of his look, was it really relevant to turn Ranbir into a Sardar for the story? I don’t think so. Probably the makers of the movie wanted the young star to wear different look this time Or, were they keen on not making this movie look like ‘Wake up Sid’ part two! Any guesses? Ranbir Kapoor proves yet again that he is completely capable of carrying a movie on his shoulders. Taking to his roles as a fish to water, his talent is undeniable. Debutante Shazahn Padamsee doesn’t have much to do in the movie. In supporting roles, Naveen Kaushik as the sales manager with the long side-burns and the role of Giri are very well scripted. In all, Rocket Singh sells itself to you as ‘values’ for the money you've spent!
