The low key publicity strategy of Yash Raj’s Ranbir Kapoor and Shazahn Padamsee starrer, the Shimit Amin directed, `Rocket Singh-Salesman Of The Year`, seems to have failed. The film generally had a poor start across India, and the weekend saw marginal pick up. The film has also been rejected in the Overseas.
