Rocket Singh Salesman of the Year It’s IN!!! Though not much of a trailer but rather a teaser without any look into the movie… but I’m pretty darn excited to get something in motion from the Shimit Amin and Jaideep Sahni Combo…

    Simple and experimental trailer. Launching of the product by Salesman. Consume the movie if not enjoy cinema :)

    Ranbir Kapoor has already knocked the door with “Wake Up Sid” and Jhalkiyan of “APKGK” and “Rocket Singh Salesman” are suggesting clearly that he is about to ARRIVE in a proper way. His time has begun.
    A young Star-Actor has appeared in Hindi films.

      Was not Jaideep Sahni a computer Engr. before joining films?

        Didn’t know this about Jaideep Sahni. OK then I think he put this in the character of Pravin Dabas in KKG. He was wearing an IITD T-shirt as well.

        Yup that’s why it made me furious. :evil: :lol:

          I did some googling and got the information that Jaideep studied in Kendriya Vidyalaya at IITD campus till Class X. Then DPS RK Puram and after that he did his Engineering from Bidar, Karnataka.

              though long time back i had read this false story somewhere that shimit was an architect ..he was suppose to design the “factory” office for RGV and RGV got so impressed with his work that he offered him a film :lol: ..this story was abt shimit or someone else i dont remember properly …

    IMO ranbir is not very good actor right now and he lacks charima for role like these

    I wonder someone like akshay kumaar (SIK) would have been much better choice or even abahy deol(OLLO)

      • Rolf Rolf says:

        Of course saying that Shimit Amin is no special talent is not correct. His directorial skills are much above the ordinary, as has been proved by both ATC and ChakDe. However in my book Jaideep is a much bigger talent than Shimit and i respect Jaideep’s creativity much more.

      • Um, may I add as a ‘Director’? Ab Tak Chappan was good, nothing taking away from Amin. But, Chak De was full of cliches, predictable and bland. It aint a bad movie in my book, but not above average that wants me to look forward to his next movie. Jaideep might share the blame for Chak De’s flaws, but then he has given two gems in Company and Khosla Ka Ghosla.

      • 3 Idiots has a bit of FPS in it, Aamir’s flashback story part.

        FPS though was pure Bollywood masala. I mean our guy falls in love and sleeps with the Professor’s daughter, aur kisi ko pata nahin chalta. Did not really venture to read other CB books.

          Only read his first 2 books. Both were masala potboilers.
          Chetan Bhagat once came in my then college, people flocked around him like bees. I wasn’t even remotely interested. Didn’t go to see his face. :lol:
          Though the books being masala stuffs, it seems like he also has put a few layers in it. When asked why the three friends in FPS are Mechanical Engineers he told that they are like gears which cannot function independently like the friends.

            • Sahil- 3 Idiots is releasing on Dec 25th & Rocket Singh on 6th Nov.I dont really think it was meant to be a dig on Aamir or CB or FPS.Basically we all like the underdog, the common man to win & thats the sentiment that Rocket Singh is trying to play on.After all how many graduate from the premier institutions in the country?just a handful compared to the rest of the crowd right?

      Forget the “sweater uncle” days of Rishi Kapoor. he was on declination those days.
      P.S. What was the period of Rishi Kapoor then? I mean Mithun was also making hey in 80s. Seems like Rishi was always there behind the stars of those particular decades, never got the limelight.

        Rishi never dominated a particular period. But i could say his best performances came in 70’s and 80’s. I recall Khoj, where he played a role with grey shades, really good performance, and one of the decent ones in the 80’s. Also another was Ek Chadhar Maili Si, really good movie, and Rishi’s performance was good in that too. In 1992, Deewana and Bol Radha Bol went on to become hits, and that put up his “Sweater Uncle” image, he was just going through the motions there.

          Rishi was like SRK of those days… the smart suave loving romantic actor, but those were not the days for such movies… those were the days movies meant watching Bachchan and gang takin your frustration out by beating the pulp out of the ameers/desh ke bhakshak…. additionally Rishi Kapoor carried the curse of being a super successful cinema moghul’s son as well … the boon and the curse of being one of the ‘assumed’ actors… like AB jr… they are more fortunate than Rakesh Roshan/Kunal Khemu…. yet never rise to the audience’s gasping like AB or SRK…

          • Rishi did try his luck at the Dishoom-Dishoom genre with Barood, Duniya Meri Jab Mein, Zehreela Insaan, but none of them worked at the BO, so he stuck to the rom-com stuff. Even in multi starrers like AAA, Naseeb, Coolie his role was more of the comic relief kind. One performance of Rishi that i really liked was in Hathyaar, where he played Dharam’s brother, who opposes his brother’s criminal ways.

          DnD .. kya baat kar rahe ho yaar.. 80s movies had their own charm … and Rishi Kapoor indeed was the king of ‘feel good’ cinema in 70s and 80s… just that ‘feel good’ cinema was not the most popular one (i mean the surreal feel good, not the Hrishkesh Mukherjee Basu Bhattacharya movies, which had a lot of real life values ingrained somewhere) .. Hum Kisi se Kam Nahi, Prem Rog, Karz, Rafoochakkar.. rishi kapoor was a heart throb at a point of time…just that the time was not for ‘metrosexual men’ (brining that era in made SRK the superstar, warna his selection of movies are as good as Rishi Kapoor’s)… and for some reason even now I can watch ‘Aap Ke Deewane’ a lot more times than ‘Dostana’ …

    liked the concept,

    with RGV and Sanjay Gupta spoiling the trailer fun for me by some in your face shots and some seriously bad copies(SUPERS)…this is refreshing.

    Simple to a fault. Ranbir is endearing.

    Would have been happy if it was actually a bad pitch….PPT not working or teleprompter not working,

    Fumbling his lines….

    He challenges after the bad pitch, in the film he will bowl us over. then we know it was actually a pitch for the film.

    60 secs, a little too long, 30 secs would have been super, pushing the time line, a hurried pitch.

    Did they see PFC Picture? OK, pushing it here.

    Well, if it’s true that ‘Rab ne bana di jodi’ was ghost-written by Jaideep then God save this movie, or may be Shimit’s better sense will prevail and he’ll keep the movie grounded.
    At the same time, one cannot dismiss it based on the trailer.

    Also, APKGK looks like Ranbir’s second flop movie, c’mon directors like Raj Kumar Santoshi/Subhash Ghai/N.Chandra/Rahul Rawail etc etc…are way past their ‘expiry date’ I mean their kind of cinema.
    And when they try to fit-in in current trend of movies, they only end up making laughin stock of themselves!

    I think Ranbir does not have a great dialogue delivery, but again i don’t know i guess i am being over critical.
