Colossal disappointment!
The keenly anticipated ROCKET SINGH - SALESMAN OF THE YEAR has emerged a gigantic disappointment in the key international markets. The film is one of the lowest openers of Yash Raj in U.K. and America, which has come as a rude shock for the entire industry. The opening weekend of ROCKET SINGH - SALESMAN OF THE YEAR should've been huge in these territories because Yash Raj movies, generally, open very well in the international markets and also because there's a sizable Punjabi population in U.K. and Canada-America.
Colossal disappointment!
