Bollywood's blue eyed boy, Ranbir Kapoor has failed to attract enough audience for his new film "Rocket Singh- Sales Man of the Year". The movie had a very high expectation as it is directed by Shimit Amin and written by Jaideep Sahani. The film can be considered as the comeback of the director/writer duo after "Chak De! India". "Chak De" is a rare example of a successful low budget film. The film was not only highly critically acclaimed but also collected sufficient revenues at the box-office.

Reportedly, "Rocket Singh" has been made under the budget of 5 crore. But it could not live up to the expectations. Amit Awasthi, the manager of Spice Cinema, Noida said, "'Rocket Singh' has not at all been satisfactory and done very bad business. The occupancy has fallen to 25 percent Monday from an average of just 68 percent over the weekend". He added, "The content is not being appreciated, as the second half is being called very slow and dull and the climax is being considered to be not at all satisfactory".

Yogesh Raizada, the Corporate Head of the Wave Cinemas has commented the same thing. He said, "The movie lacks mass appeal – audiences could not associate with it considering its content on sales guys, etc. So, the weekend was only average but not up to expectations."

He concluded by saying, "The weekend was only close to 70 percent while Monday it has fallen close to 40 percent".

The film also stars debutant Shazahn Padamsee with famous anchor/actor Gauhar Khan. Though the story revolves around the life of the salesman, but these leading ladies also have pivotal roles in the films.

Joginder Mahajan, a Delhi based distributor said, "The film has been a disappointment for the industry".

All we can say is, Ranbir has missed the opportunity to score a hatrick.
