1. NDTV -

Rating Score -> 2.5/5 
The spotlight of the film is understandably trained totally on Madhavan, who does not miss a trick in front of the camera. Behind it, he misses quite a few and that prevents Rocketry - The Nambi Effect from soaring and reaching for the skies.


2. India TV -

Rating Score -> 3.5/5
Nambi Narayan had so much to achieve and so far to go, but he chose to give a thurst to India's space research. His decision a sacrifice or an honour, is something that the film tries to build throughout its runtime. It never gives its judgement to the audience, nor does it take sides, it simply wants the audience to know the story of Nambi Narayan. Yes, there are biases though!

‘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. Madhavan makes a solid debut as a filmmaker with Rocketry: The Nambi Effect

Rating Score -> 2.5/5
Rocketry: The Nambi Effect is a film that could have been a phenomenal watch. Despite the shortcomings, the story of Nambi Narayanan makes it a decent watch.

There is little room for ambiguity in Rocketry: The Nambi Effect. The film functions as a straight-up manifesto in defense of the man and his actions.  By the end, Shah Rukh Khan addresses the audience directly and we see the real-life Narayanan. At this point, it’s impossible to not be moved.

Rating Score -> n/a
Audiences might not categorise Rocketry: The Nambi Effect as a mass commercial potboiler and only fit for festivals, but it's time you set yourself free from these expectations for this film is definitely worth all your time and money. It lets you know your country better and tells the untold story of people who gave up a lot in life only for their nation.

Rating Score -> 2.5/5
R Madhavan film is a patchy effort; equal parts effective and over-the-top amateurish. R Madhavan makes you believe in the character, but the writing is stodgy, and the direction doesn’t quite make up for it.

Rating Score -> n/a
The story of Rocketry is, without doubt, something that audiences have to be told. But, behind that thought is a film that connects only in parts and is, at many times, awkward. In the film, a character remarks that scientists are strange people. Maybe Rocketry is that strange film that keeps sifting between fact and emotion, without making a distinguishable mark.

Rating Score -> 1/5
Rocketry should have focussed on Narayanan’s dark days when he was accused of being a spy and tortured in jail. It is another story that he was finally acquitted and declared not guilty. This segment of his life needs to have been elaborated. For, this is the story that needs to be told with brutal frankness. Instead, Madhavan wastes the screen time in inane stuff

Though Rocketry is never always as well-made as it is well-intended, 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.
