2022 Movie Review: Rocketry The Nambi Effect
I saw the movie in its original language 2 days back on amazon prime. The movie wonderfully depicted the work life and contribution and suffering Nambi Narayan faced socially, career-wise, family life and criminal proceedings.
The movie scores very low in woke score. It doesnt insult Hindu customs and traditions in any way. It also highlights patriotism, self respect of an educated man and his genius in moving India from solid state fuel to liquid fuel. Building/assembling knocked down unit of 2 Russian cryogenic engines without any user manual and guidance.
The movie starts with Sanskrit shloka and in the movie it has been shown that Nambi Narayan is both science minded and traditional in terms of practicing Hindu customs, traditional dresses. Much of the story is revealed in the form of an interview which Mr. Nambi Narayan is giving in a TV show.
Towards the end the character of Nambi Narayan played by ace actor Madhavan transforms into actual Nambi Narayan who does a guest appearance on this movie, as he gets up and walks out of the TV studio, rides a basic scooty and travels home.
The movie also shows how the communist government of Kerala made Nambi Narayan a scapegoat into false accusation and pushed India away from the commercial satellite launch market, which India has entered very recently and kept the international satellite launch market as a monopoly of USA, Russia. Nambi Narayan has been recently conferred Padma Bhushan by Central government that video was also shown in the movie. We also come to see several important scientists like APJ Abdul Kalam, SArabhai in the movie and their interractions with Nambi Narayan.
I fully recommend this family movie. The movie has no songs, no over the top drama. Pure facts and beautiful storyline.
