Rocketing Ranbir!
Producer: Aditya Chopra
Director: Shimit Amin
Screenplay: Jaideep Sahni
Music: Salim-Suleiman
Cast: Ranbir Kapoor, Shazahn Padamsee, Gauhar Khan.
Ranbir Kapoor’s 3rd movie this year, and people definitely want more of him!
Very different from his lover boy image, the sardar look carried out to perfection adds to his overall appeal.
As the tagline suggests, Ranbir plays a salesman, an average student through school and college, albeit an honest and upright one.
At work however, with his marketing skills, he makes a great impact.
Wrenches in the works arise and the second half is all about how he sorts them out.
Sounds familiar? Well! The treatment is extremely different and is refreshing.
What could have been the predictable love story, instead, focuses on the protagonist’s character and career.
Amidst corruption and grease, he remains an idealist to the end, and while things get a little crazy in the middle, he handles them with his inane goodness.
Though long and slow paced, parts of the movie are brilliant, and the cast is in equal measures well chosen.
Heroines, if they can be termed that in this context, Shazahn Padamsee is charming and sweet, although it’s only a few scenes, and Gauhar Khan proves that she can act given the right director.
A movie that deglamourizes office politics and corporate lies, and still retains it sense of humour, this has the signature of the Chak De makers all over it.
A must watch!
