After a lot of research, versatile actor Madhavan made ‘Rocketry: The Nambi Effect’. He spent five years of his career on this project and turned into a writer, director and the lead actor of it. As we know, the movie is about a biopic of the great scientist and Padma Bhushan award recipient Nambi Narayanan. He was an ISRO scientist and an aerospace engineer who gets caught in the middle of power politics. The hurdles and insults he faced in life whilst he was nothing but patriotic towards the nation form the complete story.
Nambi is a student of legendary Vikram Sarabai and joins ISRO in 1966. He gets a fellowship in NASA and earns a lot of fame. He strives to bring new technology to India and made our country a part of 3 trillion dollars system. But he gets arrested under the accusation of sending ISRO files to Pakistan by the Kerala police. How he comes out of all this forms the crux of the story and it has been narrated in a very emotional and touching manner.
The premiers have gotten a very good response and many are lauding the film as a sincere effort. The hard work and dedication of Madhavan can be seen in each and every frame. Simran did a great job in the wife’s role and the technical departments gave fantastic output too. The team went into too much detailing regarding the work he had done and the tough situations he faced. This gives a documentary feel to the common audience and we need to see how it performs commercially. The movie is sure to bag a lot of awards according to many experts.
