Rocketry The Nambi Effect box office Day 1: R Madhavan film fails to launch with Rs 65 lakh

Ahead of the film’s release, film producer and trade analyst, Girish Johar suggested that the Madhavan film is “bending towards a niche audience” and is not a “hardcore commercial film”.

“The buzz is quite good and positive, specifically down south. Rocketry is going to get a good start at the box office. The film has been receiving a lot of accolades from the international arena as well, so that is looking positive. For the Hindi belt, it will be more reliant on word of mouth and it should be decent to start with,” Johar told indianexpress.com.

The Indian Express’ Shubhra Gupta gave the movie a 2.5-star rating. In her review, she wrote, “R Madhavan makes you believe in the character, but the writing is stodgy, and the direction doesn’t quite make up for it.”
