ridiculous rating

I really don't get the hype.

Excellent, smart action film.

Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

ACTOR is exceptional as a young PUNJABI guy. The movie is as great as its script, story and dialog. The movie captures the ethical dilemma of a young entrant entering the corrupt world of selling. The protagonist takes the lead out of the compromise of values and creates his own organization with ethics and values. He shows that for your long term sustainability one must be honest with his work and people he is working with. The dialog were well written by Mr. Sahni. One of my favorites is "do business but don't become businessman". Some might not like it not being like a typical Bollywood movie melodrama but still it has something for everyone - a great lesson - don't be hypocrite. I HAVE STARTED FINDING OUT GREAT ULTIMATE MOVIES THROUGH FLICKSTREE.COM AND IT ALSO HELPS TO FIND OUT WHERE TO WATCH THESE GREAT MOVIES. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

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

"Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year" is a very enjoyable film--and one that has some great lessons for the business world...if they cared to learn them. The film begins with Harpreet Singh Bedi (Ranbir Kapoor) graduating from college and realizing that with poor grades, he isn't qualified for being an executive. So, he gets a job in sales--but he's like a lion among the wolves. The computer company where he works is cold and cut-throat-- and he needs to learn the art of bribes and half-truths to make it there. But he's basically a good guy at heart and it's soon apparent he'll soon get fired--as he's too good. Then he comes up with an idea--to beat his own company by forming a NEW company, Rocket Sales. Rocket Sales is dedicated to being honest, providing a product with far less markup and providing 24-hour service. Not surprisingly, clients LOVE getting what they pay for and Singh's such a nice guy, the company soon takes off. However, here's the kicker--now Singh has several employees--most of which STILL work for the old company and work for Rocket Sales on the side.There's much more to the film than this, but what I liked was the film's heart and the many lessons it COULD use to their own betterment. However, bribes (especially in certain parts of the world--where it's routine), lying to customers and providing crappy service are just EASIER and probably will continue to be the norm. However, I can think of a couple huge computer companies that are now MUCH smaller--as a result of their standards. We can only hope they watch this film. In the meantime, however, it's great fun and is well worth your time.Also, just to let you know--the usual song and dance numbers you'll find in modern Indian films are not in this one. There are some musical interludes but the characters themselves neither sing nor dance during these.

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.
