Review of 'Rocketry'

The film 'Rocketry' was released on 1st July, 2022. This film is based on the life of one of India’s pioneering rocket scientists 'Nambi Narayanan', this biography chronicles his achievements, mad passion for the country's space mission, his unmatched dedication, and the accusation that eventually became the biggest personal and professional setback of his life.

The eventful life of Indian Space Research Organisation’s (ISRO) leading scientist and Padma Bhushan awardee Nambi Narayanan is so full of ups and downs that one wonders why it took so long for someone to come up with a full-fledged feature film on him. While it was attempted by a few, R Madhavan’s directorial debut which he also wrote and co-produced, finally saw the light of day. The film plays out in flashback as Nambi Narayanan (R Madhavan) narrates his life story to superstar Shah Rukh Khan in 2014. The crew filming this mammoth interview is cursing their luck for being stuck in the studio late at night for a ‘long and boring’ story of an old scientist. However, as Nambi begins talking, everyone including the host is riveted by his story.

The producer of the film is Sarita Madhavan, R. Madhavan, Varghese Moolan and Vijay Moolan whereas the director of the film is R. Madhavan. The character of nambi Narayan is played by R. Madhavan. The story spans Narayanan's days as a graduate student at Princeton University, before exploring his work as a scientist and the false espionage charges placed upon him.

R Madhavan relives Nambi Narayanan’s real life in reel with full conviction. From his make-up to dialogue delivery and expression, Madhavan becomes the man whose story he tells. Shah Rukh Khan looks dapper as ever and uses his trademark charm to play the role of an interviewer with a heart. He mirrors the conscience of a nation for a man, who dedicated his life to a cause against all odds. It is definitely a movie worth watching and gives respect to Nambi Narayan.
