Rocketry: The Nambi Effect Reviews

The flash-forwards in the film may feel quite ornamental, but they do add some necessary energy to an otherwise linear narrative.

Full Review | Jul 18, 2022

What is obvious from the film...is that even extraordinary realities can be reduced to ordinary cinema when subjected to average treatment.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 8, 2022

‘Rocketry’ takes off well, hits some turbulence on the way, but eventually soars high with real characters and moving moments that make it worth your while

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 4, 2022

There is a lot of scientific information presented in the first half, but it remains compelling. The film struggles with the way it is packaged together, but the final act is rousing.

Full Review | Original Score: 7/10 | Jul 2, 2022

Shah Rukh Khan pops up every now and then to leaven a film that tells a necessary story but tells it shoddily and without curiosity.

Full Review | Jul 1, 2022

R. Madhavan’s retelling of scientist Nambi Narayanan’s life is an inadvertent reminder that a government that abuses its power can reduce a hero to a victim.

R Madhavan, Shah Rukh, and Simran are in top form in this flawed, yet fascinating biopic...

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 1, 2022

From capturing the physicality of the character over the many years that the story unfolds to conveying the inner strength of the character, the actor puts up an impressive performance that is the Vikas engine of this film...

R Madhavan is a one man army who puts up a spectacular, inspiring show.

There's wisdom to be found in an unfairly treated man's short and sweet concluding words -- a nation is only as great as our appreciation of the people who make it great.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 1, 2022

Watch the film for its gripping drama and for Simran's and Madhavan's performances.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 1, 2022

R Madhavan makes you believe in the character, but the writing is stodgy, and the direction doesn’t quite make up for it.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jul 1, 2022

Dramatic licence is one thing but going overboard is quite another. Rocketry resorts far more to the latter than the former.

The Nambi Effect is full of zeal and adventure, but leaves you wanting.
