R Madhavan makes you believe in the character, but the writing is stodgy, and the direction doesn’t quite make up for it.

Rated: 2.5/5

The Nambi Effect is full of zeal and adventure, but leaves you wanting.

Film Companion

The flash-forwards in the film may feel quite ornamental, but they do add some necessary energy to an otherwise linear narrative.

Firstpost

What is obvious from the film...is that even extraordinary realities can be reduced to ordinary cinema when subjected to average treatment.

Rated: 2/5

‘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

Austin Burke/Flick Fan Nation

There is a lot of scientific information presented in the first half, but it remains compelling. The film struggles with the way it is packaged together, but the final act is rousing.

Rated: 7/10
