When you go to the theatre to watch a movie that has been written by a person who has earlier wrote scripts like Khosla Ka Ghosla & Chak De India, your expectations will be high. Shimit Amin has so far been able to shred the typical bollywood melodrama starting Ab Tak Chhappan to Chak De. Rocket Singh is a completely different take on what we have seen so far in terms of issues related to the current urban youth and trends. ‘Sales’ is something that MBAs or atleast graduates can understand. But when we dissect sales, it only becomes the cup of coffee of MBAs. So, here Shimit goes slightly wrong. Rocket Singh is a nice, sweet and a movie on a good theme and heart, but lacks the mass appeal like Chak De.
The ensemble cast has been kept low profile, but exudes quite an amount of spunk on screen. But at the end, it’s Ranbir who has taken the burden of the entire acting department on his shoulder. His simplicity and tension-free-ho-jayega attitude works to great effect. The movie is 150+ minutes without a song and requires patience from the audience till it ends. The best thing is you will remember the essence of the movie as it is so based on our daily life. That’s the beauty of Jaideep. One scene where there is a small office party of the sales team where Ranbir works and the office was giving the alcohol free; you can see few them drinking a not-so-good-tasting whiskey with water! That’s hilarious yet so real. All of did that atleast once in our life.
Cinematography is above average but editing has been good. Screenplay is good but needed to more crisp in the story-telling part in the second half. What a year it has been for Ranbir! This boy is yet to deliver a flop after Saawariya. I would rate Wake Up Sid as Ranbir’s best flick this year, but this one’s a movie about breaking new grounds in Hindi film industry. Keep up the good work Shimit & Jaideep. We need more guys like you to take our movies to the next level.
Verdict: 3 out of 5
