    Well, this was one of those movies that I almost turned off after about 40 min. It seemed like a decent movie, but I wasnt sure it was for me. But, I kept watching it for some reason. And I am so glad that I did. It turned out to be a really good movie. Very interesting, and real... read morely well made. I love movies where the underdog overcomes. This is definitely one of them.

    Great movie that centralizes on a young college graduate that wishes to enter the business world of sales and marketing. Harpreet Singh Bedi lands a job with a computer company, and quickly learns that the position and the people working there aren't exactly what he had original... read morely envisioned. The ethics involved alone causes problems with his own values, and this creates havoc with fellow salesmen, the sales manager, and the company director. The humiliation he endures allows him to take it upon himself to create a small company within the one he works for, and thus produces greater responses and connections utilizing the principles of values he abhors: co-op planning.
    Ranbir Kapoor, Shazhan Padamsee, Sharon Prabhakar, Gauhar Khan, and Prem Chopra stars. Definitely worthy!

    A delightful feel-good story about office workers who create an underground company that topples their oppressive boss. The story is charming, lighthearted, gently comedic, yet inspirational--a great film for office workers the world over!

    This isn't your typical overacted, son... read moreg-and-dance Bollywood film--there isn't evne a single bhangra or dance scene in the entire film! Acting is professional and spot-on; characters, costumes, and sets are very believable. If this were an American film, it would be so much more popular--it's like a feel-good 'Office Space'.

    Most movie rental stores will not have this in stock--even the independent ones. Best bet is to look for it at an Indian movie rental or grocery store.

Ranbir Kapoor turns in a skillfully understated performance in Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year.

A surprisingly sharp workplace comedy whose concerns should resonate with oppressed worker-bees everywhere. After all, who hasn't at one time or another been forced to weigh ideals against paying the ... Full Review

David-and-Goliath workplace drama from India goes unexpected places, and hits satisfying chords. Full Review

Sporadically amusing, but it often drags and feels contrived and dull while suffering from an uneven balance of comedy, drama, romance and social criticism. Full Review
