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.

5 Forgotten Tamil movies (70's 80's 90's) to watch during this lock down available in Youtube

There used to be days when I used to watch a movie twice, thrice or even five times in a theatre. Every one growing up watching Rajini, Kamal would definitely agree; Aboorva sagotharargal, Batsha, Kadhalukku mariyathai or many to name it.  It may be completely not possible today with the schedule and the amount of new content which streams before you. Some movies bring nostalgic moments when they are telecasted today. For example, I usually have it with Bombay, I remember watching it atleast 30-40 times in theatres in and around Tirunelveli. I have rehashed some of Tamil movies which is available in Youtube today which you should watch it again.  These were some of the movies which gave huge inspirations to film makers, script writers or be it any one loves cinema like me.

There were movies which defined the audience and also there are why Tamil cinema stands out even today. Unn

Anantha Thandavam -The original Pirivom Sandhippom

Below is the write up about a movie which I expect so much for this year.The story has been my personal favorite and is based on one of the best Tamil novel which I have read so far.I happened to read the novel Pirivom Santhippom during my college days ,which made me to think aloud about love.Written by Sujatha the story was initially published in Anantha Vikatan in early 80’s.The story of Pirivom Santhippom is of two series first in Tirunelveli second part in America.After eight years I am able to recall each and every characters of the work.This has nothing to do with my memory but with the beauty of the book.The main characters are “Ragupathi and Madumitha “.After reading the book I felt there can not be a sweeter name than Madumitha .Even the name of the particular character while reading the novel will make you feel for Ragupathy. Ragupathy meets his Ex lover in USA during his stay for his higher studies.Ragupathy avoids her but Madumitha married to a NRI Radhakrishnan @Rad moves
