Rocket Singh - Salesman of the Year (2009) Movie Review - Ranbir Kapoor's most Underrated

So, this week I have decided to review some of Ranbir Kapoor's best films. When looking at his filmography, I found them to less cinematic and more rooted to reality. Yeah, he made some romantic films as well but they are not as good as the other ones. Today, I saw his most underrated movie, Rocket Singh. Whenever people talk about this film, I hear it to be a film for entrepreneurs as they get to learn a lot of good lessons of business. How did I feel about the film? Let's find out:
Rocket Singh - Salesman of the Year is a 2009 Bollywood drama starring Ranbir Kapoor, Shazahn Padamsee, Naveen Kaushik. Gauhar Khan, Prem Chopra, Manish Chowdary, Amol Parashar and D. Santhosh. It is directed by Shimit Amin written by Jaideep Sahni. The story revolves around Harpreet Singh Bedi, a commerce graduate who faces and wins challenges after joining AYS.

The screenplay I should say is really good. The characters made are very relatable. It is very difficult to find these characters nowadays. The environment is very playful and the tone of the film is very positive which sucks us in right away. It teaches us lessons about following moral values, being positive, to be honest and so on. The character of Harpreet Singh is really very good. He learns really fast. He makes us think about ourselves and it is stirring my brain for hours now. I really agree that this film is a 101 guide for entrepreneurs. The dialogues of the film are also very good. The negative character of the film also gives us some important lessons. You can find videos on Youtube talking about the lessons from the film if you want to dive deep. There is also a very big heart with which the film becomes some of the most heartwarming films.

POSITIVES:

  1. The Acting : Simply Fantastic. Each actor in the film has his/her own moment to shine. The relatable characters help as the actors too become one with the character they have been given.
  2. The Writing : It is deep, relatable and very heartwarming. You can see the description above.
  3. The Music : Like the script, this music is also very heartwarming. Two songs in particular caught me. They have the touch of some Waheguru bhajans which give the songs a particular edge above the rest
NEGATIVES:
  1. The 2000's vibe : This film was released in 2009 and so it is dated in a sense because it has those same problems as Chak De India or any other Yash Raj film as it has editing problems and the cinematography is alright to say the least.
Overall, if Ranbir Kapoor was a teacher, he would have been like Rocket Singh. Positive, honest and heartwarming. Leaving some editing problems and the 2000's vibe aside, it will teach you some important lessons of life that will stay forever. Wonder why this film was a flop or even underrated??

IMDb Rating : 7.5/10
My Rating : 8.5/10
