Rocket Singh

Ranbir Kapoor plays Harpreet Singh Bedi, an optimistic young graduate with passing marks of just 35% lands a sales job in a computer firm run by a boss who sets out of reach targets for his team. His enthusiasm comes off early as he observes security guards being bribed for information on competitor. For his own part, he stays firmly honest, going so far as to file a complaint against a client who wants bribe. That act of honesty, however, is rewarded with a demotion and disrespect in office.

Certain that a business can be run clean, Harpreet sets up his own company within the one he works for, convincing a few of fellow colleagues as partners. Operating sincerely and carefully, this team carefully sets up a flourishing business that ultimately challenges the one they work for.

“Rocket Singh” may or may not be hit among the movie buffs but it surely has a point or two to take away which can help industrialist, especially in India. Not everything is realistic but things which are can actually make a difference.

• Recruit for talent and aspiration and not for fancy degrees and communication skills. Brilliant people will remain dedicated to the company and work professionally.
• Don’t under estimate experience just because you have a brilliant idea and have got some sudden triumph. Instead of fighting with experienced people, make them your associates.
• Make your work environment safe and respectful for everyone from day one.
• Building faith is the hardest part of business. Do not grow alone. Let your partners and vendors also grow with you.
• Serve your customers as per their need and not as per your convenience. Put your 100% to your business.
•  Customers today are much more aware about overall experience than ever. Every deal with your customer is a chance to influence and to turn him into an advertisement for your company.

Ranbir Kapoor has shown a convincing, graceful depiction of Harpreet Singh Bedi. Ranbir adds the little touches that make all the difference: combing the beard, tucking in the turban, lifting the 'kada' further up his arm before dipping his hand into a bucket of wet clothes. He's an actor you can't take your eyes off.

In the end, Rocket Singh is a fresh, sincere film with good purpose. It needs patience to understand it fully, but justify a screening because movies like this are hard to find.

Most important lesson: Take risk. Even Spiderman takes risk.
