[Rocket Singh - Salesman Of The Year Movies Hd 720p In Hindi
Abdul Soumphonphakdy
Great review Rangan. The supporting cast really stole the show here. Quite unlike a Yash Raj movie to not have showpiece songs though. Pocket mein rocket didnt even make an appearance towards the end!
But the movie was too long. I think the last half hour could have been made crispier with faster cuts/edits..actually the climax could have been movies most interesting bit had it been made more imaginative
For some inexplicable reason this movie did not satiate me. I get what they were trying to do, but for some reason felt Sahni was somehow limited by the 120/160 minutes of screen time he had. I would really prefer to see a novel/novella on Rocket Singh and his thought process, his philosophy etc. In fact in a lot of places I felt there was time wasted, really!
And I get the supporting characters, they are truly delicious, especially Gauhar Khan. Man that expression on her face, bordering on the impatience that comes with efficiency of having grown out of your current job and aspiring to do something bigger, loftier even, but being stuck in a cubby hole is simply outstanding!
The above apart, of interest to me is the link between Punjabi urban culture and this growing punjabiness in bollywood. Take for example a typical urban middle-upper to upper-middle class Punjabi wedding (be it hindu or sikh). What used to be an event driven more by traditional rituals, relative seriousness and more convergence with other forms of hindu weddings across india, has now evolved into a sho-sharaba affair with multiple events (cocktail night/s, sangeet, mehendi night, wedding, reception etc), with fairly elaborate dressing up, and a wholesome in-your-face filminess that was surely non-existent 20+ years ago. Is it a coincidence that bollywood sees this flamboyance in Punjabi society and then naturally links ostentatiousness, glitz and glam to Punjabi culture, and thereby incorporates that same punjabinessin their movies to create the same perceived effect??? And then again, people see the punjabiness in the movies and this obviously shapes the pop culture even more. So all in all, a repeating cycle really.
Musafir, glorification of punjabi culture appeals to the pakistanis too, majority of whom are punjabis. Therefore the disgraceful bollywood filmakers lead by Aadha Chopra and Karak Joker have decided to cater to the pakistanis, punjabis and to the other non-Hindu audience. Major reason why Hindi films have distanced themselves from Hindu culture.
The friend of Harpreet Singh, Sai, who advises him to give CAT is an IIT graduate himself, Amol Parashar. It was natural for him to fit into that role and admonish his friend to settle for a safe path rather than become a salesman and suffer all his life.
The character of Nitin Rathore was also one which stood out. He had his family to support. Coming from a middle class background, he could have easily been wheedled into accepting the offer which Puri was making. But he left his job, and took the risk of helping Rocket Singh Corp which was a clandestine company running in another company. He suffers just like others and has to apply for jobs once the secret of Rocket Singh Corp is out.
The character of Giri is also very endearing. He is supposedly the only engineer working in a company full of salesperson. The idea of showing him obsessed with skimpily clad women and downloading all that stuff from his computer is the done thing in all enginerring college hostels. He comes out as the only person whom Harpreet can initially rely. Later he has his own share of doubts and compromises (when he has to share profit in Rocket Sales Corp with other partners).
