It’s not a love story. It’s not an action film. It’s not a musical. It’s not melodrama. It’s not larger than life. No miracles, No big stars, no item numbers, no foreign locations. Yet, Rocket Singh rocks!
To my surprise, the salesman of the year was not at all salsy. And that’s what works for the film. In spite of a slow-paced first half, it successfully makes you stick till the end. It captures that ‘extra’ in the ordinary people that makes them ‘extra ordinary’. The paradigm shift in the way of doing business in the changing corporate India is conveyed subtly.
Full marks to Jaideep Sahni for the crisp dialogs! The ambience of a sales office reflects the character of the company and is quite real (unlike those posh, and perfectly clean office spaces, unusual for a Yashraj banner film). Accurate casting is another positive of this film. All the performances are remarkable but Naveen Kaushik (Nitin Rathore, the sales manager) is simply memorable. Gauhar Khan does justice to her character and so do others. Ranbir Kapoor is getting better by every film but the supporting actor in this film has a lion’s share in making him ((aka Harpreet Singh Bedi in this film) a ‘Salesman of the Year’.
All in all, worth a watch! For its unusual plot, excellent performances, a non-salsy style.
