Ranbir Kapoor Takes the High Road in Mumbai What makes Harpreet Singh Bedi run? Honesty - the same quality that makes him seem like a zero to his blithely corrupt boss. But that boss isn't the villain in Shimit Amin's "Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year," a smart, focused Bollywood movie. That honor goes to Business as Usual, which Mr. Amin portrays as fundamentally dishonest, fueled by bribes and payoffs. Mr. Amin, who directed the delightful "Chak De! India," about a girls" field hockey team, dispenses with Bollywood's normal tangle of subplots and mashup of genres. There's music, but no big production numbers. Even romance is back-burnered. Instead, Mr. Amin sticks to the story at hand. Harpreet (Ranbir Kapoor) gets a job at a Mumbai firm that sells and services computers. When a client offers him a bribe, he blows the whistle and, for his troubles, becomes the office whipping boy. Harpreet starts his own secret business on the side, run on hard work and honesty. A Sikh, he forms a kind of Indian rainbow coalition when he brings in partners: the beautiful receptionist who has been passed up for promotion; the man who serves tea and is dismissively called Cup-Plate; and even a snaky salesman, who comes to appreciate doing business Harpreet's way. It's no accident that when the partners hold a rooftop meeting, they're framed by the words "United India" on an adjacent building. Mr. Kapoor, a heartthrob who has quickly become a star playing cads, turns in a skillfully understated performance. His Harpreet is an old-school hero: solid, righteous, compassionate. You can't help cheering for him.
