I recently read an interview where ISRO scientist said that Rocketry is fakery and most of the things shown in the movie are false claims. This was the statement of the scientist at the meet:

“Isro started the process of developing its own cryogenic engine in the mid-eighties, EVS Nambuthiri was in charge of this. 12 volumes were developed by a group led by EVS Namboothiri. At that time, Nambi Narayanan had nothing to do with cryogenics. Later, under the leadership of Gnana Gandhi, the development of the cryogenic engine started, but Nambi Narayan was not in that team.”

But I highly recommend you to watch this movie because of many reasons but first, let me share my honest review of Rocketry with you. I am wondering, why I did not post Rocketry review when I saw the movie; maybe I got caught in so many things that it just slipped out of my mind. But anyway, here you go!

Rocketry: The Nambi Effect Review:

Rocketry is biographical movie based on the life of ISRO rocket scientist Nambi Narayanan. It is about how he is a true patriot but faces charges of espionage. This is mainly because he had a lot of enemies because of his straight-forwardness and blunt nature and also for the fact that he was a true genius.

I am not revealing the whole story as I want you to watch it. And I will also not advocate if the story and claims in it is 100% true or not, but here I want to share my honest review with you.

I really liked the movie. Hats-off to Madhavan for such wonderful direction It truly touched my heart. Frankly, I just wanted to see the movie because it had Madhavan in it and I like him a lot. Obviously, every girl loves him since RHTDM!

But as the movie began and the story unfolded, I was truly hooked to my seat. The movie begins with some disturbing things that happens with Nambi sir’s family and then goes to the flashback.

Although, everyone in the movie was ‘acting’ but it never felt so. Every slap, every thrash, every single tear felt real.

I felt so sorry after seeing the movie and blame to the media for highlighting and exaggerating the case. And this actually happens. Whenever there is a court case or any incident happens, even before the final decision of the court comes, media is already doing debates and cooking stories that often ignites the fire of hatred and anger in public. News channels will highlight every bad thing about the happening but once someone comes out clean, they don’t even apologise. It is all about TRP for them but it actually ruins someone’s life including their families. It is bad and I really felt sorry.

I really want you to watch it for the sake of the actors, their efforts to bring such a realistic story with stellar performances and of course, to know about Nambi sir. Truly hats-off to the team. I actually cried in the climax because I felt so bad and sorry.
