Rocket Singh: Salesman Of The Year

I can't remember where I first discovered this film, but I watched it again now (a few years later) because I'd remembered feeling inspired by it. It reminds me of my early days with my web design company in 1997 (albeit without the corruption that he has to face). It's the classic underdog story, and now that I'm watching it again, I'm getting a taste of Jerry Maguire (without the disgusting Tom Cruise). I personally find it entertaining and inspiring at the same time. And while I'm not opposed to subtitles, it makes me realize how ADD I am that I usually multi-task through movies. You can't do that with this one. You have to fully engage ... which is a good thing.

As Rocket, Ranbir Kapoor gives a good performance showing a bit more maturity than Wake Up, Sid. Overall, I liked the premise and the development of the story. However, this is not a normal, Bollywood story - the main character is as honest as the day is long. In this respect, this movie was very refreshing. I liked the way the characters were developed as well as the pace of the movie. I would definitely recommend seeing this one!

Rocket Singh is a little different than most Bollywood films that I've seen. There is virtually no singing and dancing. The comedy is good, but there's also quite a bit of drama. Singh is just out of college and enters the workforce as a tech salesman. He quickly learns that honesty is not the policy in sales and struggles to find a way of remaining honest while making money in his job. Ultimately, Singh finds a way to do both. Ranbir Kapoor was very good in the role of 'Rocket' Singh, though I don't recall seeing him in other films before.A very enjoyable film about the realities of forging a career in today's world of incredible competition.

This is going to be hard to capture with words, it is such a delightful film. Fresh out of college and ready to strike out on hs own in the real world, Harpeet Singh Beddi, an aspiring salesman with a heart of gold and a fantastic work ethic, gets hired by a computer company with terrible ethics and customer service. After being ridiculed by his boss and co-workers when he tried to report a client for bribing him, Harpeet has had enough and sets out to show everyone that good guys really do finish on top.

The seller is marketing these as "new", but I got scratched discs which have clearly been used before. I didn't return them only because I was able to remux them on to my HDD using a Blu-ray disc reader I own.

Underwhelming movie. Lacks everything that you need to be a mediocre movie even.

This is one of my favorite movies. An engaging story about a decent, average guy in the ruthless world of sales. Told with humor and just the right amount of suspense.

This is a very charming movie with themes of employment-challenges, teamwork, friendship, and tenacity. The story may be a bit slow for a high school class but otherwise would be a fine choice for a honors h.s. or college class studying social geography, contemporary culture in India, and more. It's a lovely choice for an evening at home, too. No dancing and colorful musical interludes, just a really good movie.
