Bumpy Chip It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Pranav Agarwal Rocket Singh is my favorite movie till date after chak DE till date. The movie is excellent in every aspect - story , screenplay , acting , casting. It is not only just about Business , but also about many important facts that we forget in this success pursuit mission called as life. It talks about people bonding,teamwork and most importantly seeing people with an unbiased vision. It also highlights the fact that every individual has an x factor hidden inside him, just need an opportunist to see and bring that out. A business can never succeed without a happy and bonded team .That opportunist who puts all these things together is called the Businessman/Salesman of the year as the title suggests . MUST WATCH TO EVERYBODY .
nikoncloud 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.
silvan-desouza Yashraj is a banner who normally does mainstream entertainers with huge cast and big locales.etc but this time there made an offbeat film ROCKET SINGH. The trailers gave an indication of a youthful entertainer something like WAKE UP SID. But the film is completely different.It shows life in a corporate world, the snake and ladder games played by the corporate bosses.etc The characters aren't sugarcoated but seem straight to life though the resolution may seem a bit hard to digest but in the end the film manages to make a large impression.Direction by Shimit Amin(Ab Tak 56 and CDI) is superb Music by Salim Sulaiman is used as background, Pocket mein rocket is missingDialogues are superbAmongst actors Ranbhir Kapoor plays a normal character and that works, he isn't larger then life like APKGK. He does a superb job and proves he can carry films that are offbeat too Shazahn Padamsee does a superb job for her debut, Prem Chopra is admirable, Gauhar Khan is superb too D.Santosh for once in not a cop role does a superb job Manish Chaudhary who went on to prove his villainy further in Jannat 2 and Blood Money was launched here and he does a brilliant job The guy playing his subordinate does a good job too rest are all good
CAMKG Because Rocket Singh the movie does nothing by the numbers. When, a loser type filmi hero passes his exams, he usually pumps his fists and goes to his 'dadaji' saying 'main pass ho gaya, main pass ho gaya'. But Ranbir's Harpreet Singh Bedi just heaves a subtle sigh of relief that he passed and moves on with his life. And in the penultimate scene of the film, while working as an inventory clerk in a department store, when Harpreet gets a very unexpected pleasant surprise from the most unexpected person, he doesn't have glycerin tears in his eyes or some superhit theme song playing in the background. He just smiles to himself and goes back to work. Ranbir and his heroine Shazahn have some brief tender moments in the film, but no romantic song to 'heighten the romantic effect'.Why? Because Rocket Singh is a fantastic film that is focused on its characters and on staying true to who they are. Jaideep Sahni should get every award that there is out there for writing the best screenplay of 2009. He has brilliantly incorporated the present day metropolitan corporate culture of the non MNC mid-size firm. Having perfected that, he has taken his everyday life characters and followed them faithfully to their logical conclusions.Shimit Amin obviously knows that a brilliant director of brilliant films rests on the shoulders of brilliant screenplays. He has shown wisdom and maturity in translating Jaideep's pen onto the screen. This is what every young brilliant director should do. Make a commercial and critical success like Chak De and then, leverage that success to make something that really pushes the envelope without having to compromise. At all. Ranbir Kapoor has definitely done a great job in playing the title role, but he is also supported by an excellent ensemble - Mukesh Bhatt, Naveen Kaushik, Shazahn Padamsee, Prem Chopra, D Santosh, Gauhar Khan and Manish Choudhary.Over the past few years, I have been occasionally critical of Yashraj's films, but I must really give Aditya Chopra credit for green lighting this project and allowing it to exist in its entirety, untarnished.To really sum it up, Rocket Singh is so unspectacularly spectacular that for me, along with Kaminey (haven't seen Hirani's 3 Idiots yet) it is the best film of the year. 10/10.
