Film critic Rahul Desai also shared his honest review of the film.
I liked Rocketry: The Nambi Effect more than I disliked it. Decent film-making, but also an inadvertently timely reminder of great Indian minds being framed and arrested on flimsy charges:https://t.co/DNZadAKGZZ

Here is an interesting take on the film by YouTuber Anmol Jamwal.
#RocketryTheNambiEffect faces a catch 22 situation, in the pursuit of factual accuracy and authenticity does not guarantee what most people expect from PAN Indian films today, escapism & entertainment#RMadhavan truly in his career best tells a story India needs to know ❤️
