Review of Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year (2009) by Akshay K — 08 Dec 2011

A truly modern and surprising offering from Bollywood, a workplace comedy around marketing! While it at times loses focus, but it seldom drags, and manifests a big heart all the way through. The spirit of marketing and business in general is conveyed very well, from its inexorable ruthlessness to how it can become more humane.

Ranbir is outstanding in the lead role and Shimit Amin is a director I will be watching, who is not sticking to a comfortable genre. Bollywood is getting fresh blood, in both in front and behind the camera, and that bodes well for the viewers, who can expect to be rewarded with unconventional fare more frequently.
