Rocket
Singh is not a funny film as it appeared in its promos.
It projects the idealistic view of what
entrepreneurship means in today's India breaking out
from corruption and bribery prevalent in those
times. It has a
rock solid script, splendid direction and the amazing Ranbir Singh. It is an honest film.
Gauhar Khan as Koena the
Receptionist
He takes a deep, positive
breath and dives into the world of sales, rumoured to be
an ultra cool career for all smart people blocked from
entering medical, engineering or business schools by
brainless entrance exams. It’s everything he dreamt of,
with its smooth dressing, smoother talking men and women
who can sell ice to an Eskimo, dreams to an insomniac,
and a lifetime mobile connection to a dying man. But
soon, his idea of success begins clashing with the
strange ways of these ‘professionals’ he looked up to.
Welcome to the world of sales boss!

Ranbir Kapoor as Rocket
Singh
“Rocket Singh - Salesman of the Year” is the sometimes
thoughtless, sometimes thoughtful story of a fresh
graduate trying to find a balance between the maddening
demands of the ‘professional’ way, and the way of his
heart – and stumbling upon a crazy way which turned his
world upside down, and his career right side up.
Right from the beginning, this film is typically
reflective of a salesman's life. And one is easily
connected with the situations and the typical workplace
jokes at a marketing outfit.
Harpreet Singh
Bedi (Ranbir Kapoor) has just barely graduated and his
just passed results never stopped him from dreaming of an
exciting and adventurous career, and they never will. He
wants to make a career in sales. He is fresh, raw and
naive, and has to learn the tricks of the trade soon what
with his demanding bosses & non co-operative peers around.
Ranbir Kapoor & Prem Chopra as his grandfather have very
good chemistry & some of their scenes are so real &
touchy. However, it is the well developed characters of
the office peon and the receptionist who take the movie
forward
It is a film which engages you with a tight script and no
silly song & dance routines. The screenplay is good,
direction is good, and the actors are very good. Rocket
Singh ends naturally with a social message thrown in.
Rocket Singh – Salesman of the year – is an unexpected
surprise of the year. A pleasant surprise!
