What happens

Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year is a 2009 Indian Hindi-language satire comedy-drama film directed by Shimit Amin, written by Jaideep Sahni, and produced by Aditya Chopra under the Yash Raj Films banner. It stars Ranbir Kapoor in the title role, with D. Santosh, Gauahar Khan, Naveen Kaushik, Prem Chopra, Manish Chaudhari, and debutante Shazahn Padamsee in supporting roles. The narrative follows Harpreet, an honest and idealistic commerce graduate, who enters the competitive world of sales and forms his own parallel company after facing disillusionment at his workplace. Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year was released theatrically on 11 December 2009, and received mixed-to-positive reviews from critics who praised the film's concept, writing, and Kapoor's performance. Although it was a commercial failure, grossing ₹23.65 crore worldwide, it has gained cult following over the years. At the 55th Filmfare Awards, the film received three nominations, including Best Story and Best Dialogue (both for Sahni), and won Best Actor (Critics) for Kapoor. In conjunction with the release, ASTPL launched a mobile video game adaptation based on the film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
