Rocketry teaser: Mr Perfectionist aka Aamir Khan appreciates the Madhavan’s starrer Rocketry!

Rocketry is based on the life event of Nambi Narayanan who was a senior official at ISRO and was charged with espionage in 1994. CBI dismissed the charges against him in 1996 and in 1998, Supreme Court declared him not guilty. The teaser of R Madhavan starrer Rocketry – The Nambi Effect starts with Prime Minister Narendra Modi announcing the successful launch of Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) by Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).

The first few seconds of the over one-minute long video give the figures of how many times Russia and America made failed attempts to reach the Mars orbit but India achieved it in the first attempt only and that too by spending lesser money.

Just when you begin to get the sense of pride in the big achievement of the nation, there comes a voice asking, “What if I say we could have achieved this twenty years ago only?” He continues, “My name is Nambi Narayanan. I spent 35 years in rocketry and 50 days in prison. My nation paid the price of those 50 days and this story is about that. It’s not about me.” The Mars Orbiter Mission, India’s first interplanetary space craft, entered the Mars orbit on September 24, 2014.

The fascinating story of Nambi has been directed by R Madhavan along with Anant Mahadevan.
