Harpreet Singh Bedi has just graduated, and his marks are a little embarrassing, but marks never stopped him from dreaming of an exciting and adventurous career, and they never will. It is the sometimes thoughtless, sometimes thoughtful story of a fresh graduate trying to find a balance between the maddening demands of the professional way, and the way of his heart.

Long before Hindi cinema made a template out of the middle-class, Rocket Singh... offered a distinctive snapshot of the challenges of middle-class employment Go to Full Review
Itrath Syed Georgia Straight 07/01/2016
This film -- part Mad Men and part Jerry Maguire -- is an underdog story about grit, perseverance, and ethics. Some sections in the first half of the film seem to drag, but once the story kicks off, you'll be sold on it. Go to Full Review
Maitland McDonagh Miss FlickChick 12/15/2009
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 electric bill? Go to Full Review

Faiz D 08/29/2024 This has to be one of the most under-rated movies. Ranbir once again after 'Wake up Sid' gave a brilliant performance. See more 11/09/2020 Very relatable and believable plot and shows that the world is filled with ungrateful cons and once in a while you need to get even with people to get ahead else you will just be left behind. See more 03/25/2019 Great great great great great great great great great great See more 04/09/2016 Not a commercial movie. For people who want good, talented work from the Bollywood industry, this is one movie you don't wanna miss. Way underrated as far as direction goes. Neat, balanced performances by all of the main actors. Shimit seems obsessed with details which actually adds to the fun, if you look closely. Also, screenplay and color coordination in the frame is something he seems to be particularly interested in choreographing with his direction. The story is a good one but if you want some new fiction, the kind that hasn't been explored before, this is ordinary for the most part, but keeps the Bollywood style intact without getting into crappy shots or item numbers. Couple of Burman scores here and there. No glossy, commercialized styling. Pure, neat performances by all those who were involved.

See more 08/16/2014 There something about this refreshingly simple film, that touches you to the core. And it has a priceless message too, as a bonus! ;-) See more Read all reviews
