Rocket Singh Salesman of the Year ***1/2


I always wanted to have a carrer in sales.When I first joined sales I never thought I would get in to a new life style of Sales jargoans.When you are new to the field ,the first day would be the most exciting and horrifying day in a sales career.No sales person is the same ,they are unique and every sales person teach you a different ways to sell yourself and your product.In typical direct sales most of the time your product doesn’t sell but you who gets sold.Thats when customers become loyal.Jaideep Sahni and Shimit Amin takes the clue from this one line to make a movie with the extremely talented Ranbir Kapoor.They succeed too with their not so fancy ,simple story.

Harpreet singh is the Rocket singh sales man of the year.A average mark guy who gets in to computer sales ,not with standing the illegal ,unofficial trades of SALES PITCH ,gets kicked by his boss and fellow collegues.Harpreet never wanted to go in the wrong way works on a decision to sell computer on his own taking the lead from some of his collegues who are good to him.Singh makes his collegues as partners and the new company Rocket sales corpn becomes a sensation ,They fight out with the competitions sitting inside the workspace of the competitor.

One day Ranbir would get a movie which would tell why he is so much hyped about.Rocket singh is just one another step to reach that point.He has matured well with in a year and he is continuously in visibility but still able to show variants.This movie gives him not the funny guy but a serious ,ambitious guy who believes in values and loves his grandfather.He has let out an extremely outstanding performance. We have some interesting characters in the movie ,Giri(D Santhosh) the Porn loving service engineer,Nitesh the Manager who drives the sales men crazy and the Koena( Gauhar Khan) the perfect receptionist .The movie some times looks very much restricted because it happens only at a small office.

It’s a very straight simple story which just tells the war of values between a Boss and employee .But it gets straight and interesting only because of screenplay and performance.Movie might not thrill you or engage you like Shimit Amin’s other movies but sure you will love this movie for its simplicity though there are logical flaws.Ranbir builds the movie and the rest of the characters over take Ranbir in the midway and finally it becomes a director’s climax.
