Watch Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year For Free

Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Absolutely the worst movie.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Just like Shimmit Amin's past 2 ventures, Rocket Singh starts as a colorless, bland film. However, once one starts to go deep into the narrative, the viewer sees different colors. Rocket Singh is unconventional, yet very conventional and that's what works about it! Harpreet Singh Bedi, just graduated from college with barely passing grades, is applying for a job as a salesman at AYS. He gets the job, but his naive nature gets him into trouble and fired from the company. This leads him to venture into his own company as a competitor of the same company that fired him. A section of viewers not aware of the business/sales world may not relate to the idea of the movie. Still, it's a very gripping screenplay. Some scenes to look out for:Harpreet's first interview scene - Harpreet's confrontation scenes with Puri - Harpreet's plan to compete with AYS - ClimaxMusic is disappointing and songs weren't needed. Writing is top notch and Jaideep Sahni's dialogues are intelligent and brilliant.Shimit Amin's direction is excellent of course.Ranbir Kapoor is brilliant as the naive Harpreet Bedi. The film belongs to him.Overall, a great experience and inspirational movie.

Bollywood is evolving! Sure, masala films are absolutely part of Bollywood and should be there. But there should also be films with an international appeal, so that people who have weird thoughts about Indian cinema can come to know that we DO make sensible films too!Rocket Singh is definitely the best attempt of 2009! Ranbir Kapoor having two smash hits under his belt made the producers think they didn't need to promote it largely. I wish they did, because this movie sure has the qualities of being a hit.Rocket Singh is Shimit Amins 2nd movie after Chak De India, which was critically acclaimed and which I personally liked very much. Rocket Singh is no different, I LOVED IT. The film is very intelligent, and deals with a very good story about a salesman. This reminds me of Wake Up Sid somehow, it has the same kind of effect. When the end credits roll you just smile and think, how the hell did I underestimate this movie??Performances were terrific, of course Ranbir stood out once again. His role as a sardar must have been a challenge, and boy he did a marvellous job! Perfect! The roles of Giri, Koena, Nitin, Sunil Puri were also done very very well! Cinematography is good, the environment which was created added a lot to the feel of the movie. Shimit Amin did an outstanding job with Rocket Singh - Salesman of the year. This is one director to look out for, he is very visionary! Rocket Singh sure rocked for me, watch it yourself and let it rock YOU!Thumbs up!

Rocket Singh is an absolutely beautiful film that illustrates the power of start-up companies and strong business ethics. A relatively new resident of Silicon Valley, I honestly feel like this film was perfect for the San Francisco Bay Area and allowed me to relish this from a unique perspective.The entire success story of the high-tech industry here can be attributed to small start-ups whose conception people initially ridiculed and mocked as was Ranbir's idea. Intelligent minds with something revolutionary to offer to customers begin small teams of 5-10 people, and within a decade or two these companies have grown to have large campuses. I am talking about Google, Cisco, etc. Ranbir's new idea is to offer the same products at rock-bottom prices with extraordinary service. The diverse workforce here consists of people from all ends of the world from all backgrounds. In the film, people ranging from the receptionist to the peon have the potential to handle a company. No one can be stereotyped; the strict hierarchical system is a thing of the past as anyone has the potential to be the next big thing. You may never know; as in Ranbir's case, maybe even your boss will be working for you in the future! Rocket Singh is a truly inspirational movie that gives courage to today's frustrated workers to be entrepreneurs. Don't fear taking risks. While only 1 in 6 businesses here don't fail, each of those 1 of 6 is what built this economy.What I also really appreciated is the strong emphasis on business ethics. What character could be better than a sardar to persist on being honest and remain stubbornly true to his word? And what example could be better than Yash Raj Films--a company that produces its films professionally, legally, and responsibly and is now one of the top production houses in the world--to illustrate this business practice? This film is a wonderful work, though it may not be as easy to relate to for everyone. It truly inspires today's bright, young minds to pursue their dreams, work responsibly, and change the world!

With a funny sounding name and Ranbir Kapoor as a lead character, I assumed that this might be one of the popcorn movies that target the college going demographics, who want a "time pass" movie. But boy I was wrong.This movie is not a typical Bollywood movie. There are no spoilt rich college kids, characters do not hangout at McDonalds or other "hip" joints, no designer clothes, no gaudy weddings and "balle balle" dances, characters do not break into a song every 5 minutes. There are no "Rahuls" and "Priyas" and "Poojas".The movie deals with the issue of business ethics - especially ethics in sales and its importance in customer relations. The hero - who is almost a failure in studies, but has very high moral standards, tries to fight and survive in the dog-eat dog world of selling assembled computers.The story line is taut, focused and do not deviate from the main theme, the direction is excellent. In directorial terms, Rocket Singh is far ahead of Chak De India. I think that has more to do with storyline.The only weak point is an unnecessary love angle - the director could have complete avoided that character. Also, the storyline could have avoided a predictable mushy endingAlso, why does characters have to swear so much - "s**t" word is careless tossed around in the movie, while the female characters uses the word "a@@&**e". Is swearing in English considered to be "hip and cool" while criticising Vishal Bhardwaj for using Hindi swear words in "Omkara"?But the real show stealer is Ranbir Kapoor. He breathes life into the role of computer salesman. He gets into the skin of character, he is not afraid playing a role of loser and does not look uncomfortable speaking Hindi or Punjabi. I hope he gets a nomination for this role. 9/10 - 8 would have been fine, but 9 because it is a Yash Chopra production and still avoid all the clichés of Yashraj banners.
