After a showing of Rocketry: The Nambi Effect by R. Madhavan was cut short in the middle, a few spectators in Kolkata lost their cool. Madhavan was mentioned in a video that was posted online showing them clashing with the theatre’s management. It drew a response from him on social networking sites.
Madhavan tweeted a quote from the video and urged people to keep their cool. He wrote on Twitter, There may have been a valid reason and justification. Keep your cool and be kind to people. The show will start soon.
On July 1, the movie Rocketry: The Nambi Effect, which follows the life of Indian aerospace engineer Nambi Narayanan while he was employed with the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), was released in theatres. The crowd and reviewers’ reactions to the movie were conflicted. The movie’s Hindi adaptation has so far brought in Rs 12.15 crore. According to the sources, “huge word of mouth” is the reason why the movie is doing well at the box office.
Rocketry: The Nambi Effect was written and produced by Madhavan in addition to his acting in the starring character and directing it. He claimed to be one of the first performers to establish the “trend of pan India cinema,” but was “never given credit for,” it. He also said that his maiden picture as a filmmaker would also be his last.
The actor stated to the sources, My movies have always been pan-Indian. Since I started the trend several years ago, I believe the rest of the world is starting to catch up to me. In contrast to Rocketry, which was shot in three languages instead of only two like Ramji Londonwaley or 13B, one of the first movies to be concurrently shot. People don’t give me credit, despite the fact that I frequently start trends.
