Exclusive Review -Rocket Singh : Salesman of the Year

Who is Shimit Amin? The one who directed Ab Tak Chhappan or the one who directed Chak De! India and Rocket Singh. After watching Rocket Singh, I began to think is Ab Tak Chhappan more of a RGV Factory product than a Shimit Amin film? Is Chak De! India and Rocket Singh more of Jaideep Sahni films than a Shimit Amin film? Does Shimit Amin adapt himself to the company he works for? When he was associated with RGV factory he gave Ab Tak Chhappan that always looked like a factory product. When he moves out and teams up with Jaideep Sahni, his style of making film completely changes. I am not blaming Shimit Amin for making himself look adapted to the company he works for, I am just trying to figure out how much is Shimit Amin, the director, involved in making films? I wouldn’t call Chak De! India or Rocket Singh as regular Yash Raj films but yes, they have Jaideep Sahni written all over them. And I appreciate Shimit Amin not taking the credit for the film alone. Instead he has made sure that Rocket Singh is as much his film as it is of Jaideep Sahni. The first stills that came out of Rocket Singh had Ranbir Kapoor, Shimit Amin and Jaideep Sahni in it which is quite surprising. That itself showed Shimit Amin respects Jaideep Sahni for his contribution to the film. I haven’t seen such immense respect given to a writer before in Indian Cinema. Gulzar and Anurag Kashyap have got recognition for their writing too but then they probably got it once they entered the field of direction. Jaideep Sahni on the other hand is getting himself recognized only because of his writing skills and capabilities. We never heard the name of Shimit Amin alone whenever there was talk about Rocket Singh. We always heard Rocket Singh is from the makers of Chak De! India or Jaideep-Shimit duo are back.

Rocket Singh, one of the awaited films of the year, especially because of the fact that it is from the makers of Chak De! India, is about a fresh graduate Harpreet Singh played by Ranbir Kapoor, who trying to adapt himself to the job of a salesman. It isn’t a stylish film that shows the extraordinary capabilities of Harpreet Singh as a salesman, nor does it glorify the job of a salesman. Harpreet Singh is very much like a common man working in an office, and about a man whose ethics do not synchronize with the company he is working for.

The story of the film can well be compared to the silent era comedies especially the ones of Charlie Chaplin where he played the honest person forced to take the wrong way due to the situations in his life. And Rocket Singh references it very well with a transition effect which was used in the silent films. We can see the reference in the image below.



The script written by Jaideep Sahni is really the true winner of the film. The subtleness and the realism he gives to his characters and situations should be applauded. The atmosphere shown in Rocket Singh is very much real and how well Jaideep – Shimit have shown the atmosphere in different places (HOME, PARTY, OFFICE) and distinguished them is commendable. The best part of Jaideep’s writing is he is very honest to his work and no doubt in the fact that Shimit Amin does complete justice to Jaideep’s script. Through his work, one can see the effort he makes to make a scene look very much real. The characters in the film do small things that work like wonders in giving the film look real. Like right at the start, we see Ranbir Kapoor winking to his God and then apologizing right after that and then Harpreet Singh (Ranbir Kapoor) giving body massage to his father. Jaideep – Shimit establish the character so well in the film through their mannerism and dialogs they speak. Characters in the film speaking regional lines like “Nakko Re” for “No”, Harpreet Singh’s(Ranbir Kapoor) father calling him ‘Sardar’ in a informal way, speaking regional language while at home, etc makes the film look real.

B.O. update: 'Rocket Singh' opens to shockingly low response - Bollywood Hungama

Everyone was expecting ROCKET SINGH - SALESMAN OF THE YEAR to start with a bang, given the fact that Ranbir Kapoor's last two films, WAKE UP SID and AJAB PREM KI GHAZAB KAHANI, had fetched a flying start. Also, the fact that Aditya Chopra, Shimit Amin and Jaideep Sahni had teamed up with Ranbir, only raised the expectations from the film. But the poor start of ROCKET SINGH sent shock waves within the industry. The film had a 20% to 40% start at certain plexes and at places, 10% to 15% start.

Rocket Singh Has Dull Start Paa Decent First Week - Box Office India

Rocket Singh - Salesman Of The Year had a dull start as it opened to around 30-40% and evening shows did not show major improvement at around 50-55%. Single screens had a low response. The film has fairly low costs so recovery is not a major problem but it remains to be seen what sort of theatrical business it can do. Delhi/NCR showed best improvement yesterday evening but not the sort of jump that makes a big difference.

Avatar Vs 3 Idiots Vs Rocket Singh

After a whole year of crapfest of movies, and some real underperformers, Indian box-office is set to be on fire come December when 3 of the biggest and most anticipated movies release in a span of 3 weeks.

First will be Rocket Singh with Ranbir Kapoor in full form, fresh off from critically acclaim and BO success Wake up Sid, and a big hit in Ajab prem, boy is ready to cap off the year with some style. Promos of Rocket are already hitting all the right notes, Ranbir's new look is talk of the town, and with story still well under wraps, there is enough curiosity, not to mention super excited fan base
of Ranbir.




Next up will be Avatar. well, if you don;t know what is it, you got to share what you have been smoking all this while. This is probably one of the most anticipated movie the world over. On 18th December when Avtar will release world over, it is expected to be a spectacle, even in India. James cameroon the director, whose Titanic still holds the record for biggest gross ever in the world, even in India, will be coming out with this sci fi flick expecting a similar response he got for his Titanic.


If trailers are anything to go by, this is pick of the bunch for me.

Then is the big one, 3 Idiots. after 4 successes in a row, that too like RDB, TZP, and Ghajini like monster hit, this one is touted to be as big as Ghajini and as critically acclaimed as TZP. With Raju Hirani and Aamir at helm, this is a serious possibility.
With trailers and songs already on air, Aal izz well becoming new national anthem, and butt chair becoming, well new national butt chair, Idiots is sure to dazzle one and all. 3I left no stone unturned for this one, with Aamir having botox surgery to Akki style toilet comedy, VVC even going to check out Avatar hype, so excitement and anticipation for the movie is obvious.



So come December, we will be ready to see some real fireworks, finally BO followers have some reasons to smile.

Shazahn Padamsee: Ranbir's new heroine for Rocket Singh

Meet the new face of YRF's Rocket Singh, Shazahn Padamsee, to debut with Ranbir kapoor in this upcoming flick. Bollywood's love affair with debutantes continue with the upcoming Rocket Singh. With Asin, Anoushka Sharma, both making their big debuts last year, this year has already seen some good fresh faces in Dev D, Gulal, Love Aaj Kal etc, now is the turn of Shazahn Padamsee to make her mark. Shmit Amin- Jaideep Sahni already have presented quite a handful of debuts in CDI in 2007, so they have experience of working with a new comer, I believe that Shazahn is in great hands to make her foray in BW.

Shazahn is a beauty no doubts, but in the presence of Priyanka, Katrina, Kareena, looks only can not keep you in the game, and how much she can act will be known once the movie release.


but for now we all can say, kya baat hai Ranbir, Deepika, Katrina, now Shazahn, thats one lucky boy.
