Rocket Singh! yes he is salesman of the year..

I am a fan of movies that can make me feel.. and something within me tells me if that is going to happen or not when the opening credits roll. With Rocket Singh, it made a little mark in my mind so quickly I almost felt skeptical. But then, I watch I wait..

Rocket singh unfolds like a little story your friend would tell you, about his first days of struggle in life. It is that coming of age film told from the point of view of a young sardar (Harpreet Singh Bedi) in his first job. A delightfully well scripted first hour takes you into the world of this unsure, inexperienced but full of grit young boy who you quickly become a supporter of, and begin to like. Ranbir in one of his most restrained and un starry performance of the few movies he has done, shines like the star he is, and makes you want your sardar to win. Shimit Amin tells this story so well, he gets you to react, to gasp, to clap, to sigh and to smile.

A capable supporting cast provides a meaty ensemble around Ranbir too. A supremely confident debut from the pretty Gauhar Khan (very well styled too, perfect middle class mumbai recpetionist)  Santosh’s (typical frustrated maintenance engineer) Naveen Kaushik (The team lead) whose character could have had some more meat and the peon.. They are so onvincing in the characters that for a while it almost feels like a team movie and less a hero centric one. The padamse girl is well, just there..
