Rockstar is Class Apart

Rock based movies are revered and admired in Hollywood, but Bollywood hasn't been too kind to this genre.

Imtiaz Ali has always managed to strike the right balance between the hoi polloi and the gentry. Movies like JAB WE MET and LOVE AAJKAL are proof that the enormously talented raconteur won't attempt a film if he's not fully convinced about it. Known for his imaginative and inventive take on love stories, Imtiaz takes up yet another challenge with ROCKSTAR. The story of a rebellious singer/musician, it traces his journey of love, anguish, ego, trouble, sorrow and devastation. A difficult path to tread, no doubt, but Imtiaz could be a game changer, if the film strikes a chord. Alas!

"What you take back from Rockstar are some terrific moments, a bravura performance (Ranbir Kapoor is a class apart!)and of course, AR Rahman's musical score. Wish one could carry the entire film back in our hearts!," feels Adarsh.

Ranbir has put a lot of efforts to look like a real ROCKSTAR and is visible !

Ranbir as rockstar

On the whole, Rockstar might not live up to the confidence and expectations from the otherwise very skilled and accomplished film-maker Imtiaz Ali. However, the silver lining or the comforting prospect is the virtuoso performance by Ranbir Kapoor and the captivating score by AR Rahman, which justify that one extra star

If you are not mundane movie lover, Do watch and try yourself. 

I say- This  is a class apart !

Rocket Singh - Ranbir's Vision and management

Tonight, I am writing about one of the best movies I have ever seen in my life. Not because I appreciate the way Ranbir kapoor has been greatly performing, but here i am writing for some different purpose.

I still remember, that Friday, I lied my boss that I was unwell , and alternatively went for the first day first show and forced my mom to company  me to see the new role of an actor whom you would praise. Sorry to my boss first of all :D  ( as this movie provided great lessons on management.)

Ranbir as Harprit plays role of a B.Com graduate who has a VISION, vision to make it large; BIG LARGE in sales. He joins the corporate as he wants to become SALESMAN, full of honesty and integrity, yes! That is why even having about 35% of marks; he is SALESMAN of the year. He joins as a trainee in a company that sells computers but goofs up in an early deal that invites him abuse by bosses and ridicule by colleagues. Relegated to his desk, Harpreet is restricted from going on field and realizes that his ideologies are not in sync with the so-called professionals of today.

This is where he will find out that honesty is NOT the best policy; will be treated as a 'Joker Sardar'; be shunned and mocked by his superiors and colleagues alike. His overtures to make a name for himself will compel him to partner with four other employees from the firm, namely Girish Reddy, Koena Shaikh, Chhotelal Mishra, and Nitin Rathore, leading to the creation of a fictitious organization - 'Rocket Sales Corporation'.

Soon he thinks of a way to get even with his boss Puri (Manish Chaudhary) and starts his own secret sales and service agency while continuing to work in his existing company.

Read the plot from here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocket_Singh:_Salesman_of_the_Year

"Business kuch nahin hota hai , hote ha sirf log , customer . Log khush honge toh figures apne aap badhenge."

"Risks to spiderman bhi leta hai....main toh sirf ek salesman hoon!!!"

“Tum main upar jaane wali quality hai, lekin tum main neeche jaane wali quality bhi hai”

"Customer ke naam mein hi likha hota hai 'mar'"

“jab paseena khoon se milta hai, daftar palang ban jaata hai, bachche bhul jaate hain; tab ja ke banti hai yeh COMPANY , Dhanda"

Accidently, today I had exam of marketing BRANDING and I can relate my fav. movie -

Branding is not just a logo. So in the movie, Rocket Sales Corporation reaches great heights with its good pricing and unique service offerings and the AYS computers now take over the company and make it AYS Rocket Sales Corporation putting the AYS badge on the logo. But AYS being a bigger and bloated company fails to deliver on customer expectations of the Rocket Sales Corporation and sales figures start to come down. When take over another firm and its brand, it is important to inherit its philosophy and culture and see how you can make the most out of it.

Rocket Sales Corporation is based on


Rule 1 : We never lie to clients. No matter we lose order,let the order go but never lose client's faith


Rule 2 : We believe in services more than sales because sales goes to only that company which offer services.


Rule 3 : We don't give bribe if client ask for it, we don't get such orders.


Rule 4 : We do not promise in false delivery and what date we promised, we deliver by the same date.


Rule 5 : We are always available for client, days and nights.

LESSONS 

The first real lesson the movie gives is, sales should be about people and not numbers; numbers must always follow people

Take Risks in life: “Even Spiderman needs to take risks, we are just HUMANS”

To be an ENTERPRENEUR, one doesn’t need to invent anything, just do things differently

Sales, Services and Supports are the three pillars of a successful business

Treat everyone with respect and have more partners in a company than more number of employees. Rocket Singh addresses one of the key problems faced by any large organization – of how to treat employees like co-owners.

Don’t sell to client what you have, arrange everything what client needs

Never lose hope. Continue to struggle, there will be lots of small gains and big losses on the way, but don’t miss the target.

Winning is not something but it is everything. History only remembers the winners not the runner up

Dishonestly BE HONEST: As a SALESMAN, never enter your correct name and address in the entrance register :p

Finally, one of the more personal lessons that one can learn from this film is that it not only pays to be honest, simple and truthful in the long term, but that this can also help you to improve your public image – and even help you ‘get the girl’ in the end!
