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.
