ACTOR is exceptional as a young PUNJABI guy. The movie is as great as its script, story and dialog. The movie captures the ethical dilemma of a young entrant entering the corrupt world of selling. The protagonist takes the lead out of the compromise of values and creates his own organization with ethics and values. He shows that for your long term sustainability one must be honest with his work and people he is working with. The dialog were well written by Mr. Sahni. One of my favorites is "do business but don't become businessman". Some might not like it not being like a typical Bollywood movie melodrama but still it has something for everyone - a great lesson - don't be hypocrite. I HAVE STARTED FINDING OUT GREAT ULTIMATE MOVIES THROUGH FLICKSTREE.COM AND IT ALSO HELPS TO FIND OUT WHERE TO WATCH THESE GREAT MOVIES. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Ranbir Kapoor's effort to move out of his stereotypes and believe in a smooth low glamour script has produced a movie which would be watched by you again and again. The screenplay is simple yet something which one could romanticize in our own office space. The young aspiring India, wants to engage in entrepreneurship and has ideas. One such aspirant is Ranbir. Movie is about his move to open a start up in an age where start-ups were believed to be suicidal. And the moment you would open one up, it would be annexed by a bigger firm. The screenplay treads their journey amidst suspicion, logistics of opening up a new firm and trying to avoid being annexed by the big fish. The casting is fresh and grounded to the roles demanded of them. Mukseh Bhatt(the peon and the partner), Naveen Kaushik (the marketing head aka Nitin Rathore) have all essayed their roles neatly. And this film deserves an audience. It clings on to an easy aspiring Indian middle class and is fit for family as well as friends. I give it an 8 out of 10.Its worth the effort to sit back and watch Rocket Singh in action!

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 comes with significant expectations, being directed by Shimit Amin (Chak De India and Ab Tak Chappan) and proves to be an entertaining movie with good substance.The film is about newly-graduated Harpreet Singh Bedi who manages to get a job as a salesman. We are then shown how Bedi adjusts to this new life. The storyline is fresh and Shimit Amin succeeds at depicting the difficulties Bedi faces as a rookie in a cut-throat competition while also keeping the film very entertaining. It is quite inspiring to watch the unfolding of a new generation of salesmen. The screenplay also runs very smoothly but I have the feeling that one would expect more from a story written by Jaideep Sahni, especially after excellent to very competent writing in Chak De India, Company and Khosla Ka Ghosla. The ending seems to be rushed and should probably have been given more attention.I admire the director for not including any dance sequences in the film as it does not really need any. Having the actors dance to the average music by Salim Suleiman would not have added anything to the plot and would have halted the excellent narrative.I think Ranbir Kapoor has done a good job in this film as he steps into the shoes of Rocket Singh very well. However, one could argue that depicting a salesman is far from challenging.All in all, Rocket Singh is a fun watch and will leave you with a smile and has some of the 'feel good' factor that Chak De India had.
