Critics' Verdict

Rocketry: The Nambi Effect earns strong praise for R Madhavan’s committed performance, ambitious directorial debut, Simran’s emotional work and its important account of Nambi Narayanan’s persecution. Critics were divided over the slow, jargon heavy first half, dramatic excess and failure to fully investigate those responsible for the espionage case.
