R Madhavan Missiles: The Nambe Effect India is exported across the country in various languages, including Hindi, Tamil, English, Telugu and Kannada. The film is based on the life of a former rocket scientist at the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO).ISRO) Nambi Narayanan. Besides, moviegoers also had the Om The Battle Inside actor released in theaters this week. Both films, belonging to different genres, will cater to a different group of audiences. Film merchandising experts suggest that while Rocketry will grow at the box office based on word of mouth, Om will see more demand in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities.
Film producer and commercial analyst Girish Gohar believes that Madhavan’s film “bends towards a niche audience” rather than a “scandalous commercial film”. According to him, the film is a bit expensive and aimed at audiences in multiplexes.
“The hype is very good and positive, specifically in the south. Rocketry will get off to a good start at the box office. The movie has also gotten a lot of accolades from the international scene as well, which is looking positive. For the Indian belt, it will be more word-of-mouth and should fit in in the start “. Indianexpress.com, with the addition that Rocketry should do somewhere around Rs crore on opening day. “I look at the weekend and lifetime box office set, rather than the first day set, because I know the movie is more word-of-mouth,” he added.
R Madhavan plays the lead role in Rocketry. He also wrote and directed the film. Nambi Narayanan, head of the cryogenics sciences division at the Islamic Space Research Organization, was falsely accused of espionage and arrested in 1994. The Supreme Court dismissed all charges against him in 1998.
While Girish Johar believes that Rocketry will not only find an audience in the urban market, movie viewer Akshay Rathi, who has seen the film, suggests, “It is not a movie that people are intellectually inaccessible to. It is a movie about a rocket scientist and not a rocket science lesson. It is told in a way that can be to be understood by the general public.
According to Rathi, the film would find appeal across the country but its box office collection depends entirely on “how quickly word of mouth goes.” He said, “There’s no question about the fact that this isn’t a movie that will open up to huge numbers on day one, it’s more of an oral movie.” He also compared Rocketry to Kashmir files, which came as a surprise not only to commercial critics but also to the film’s producers who never expected it to do so well at the ticket counters. “Even The Kashmir Files weren’t also an artist, but he was in a very relevant case for us. That’s what made it work. Having seen Rocketry, I can say that it is one of the most important films made by the Hindi film industry. As a director and actor, R Madhavan has been fantastic.” In this movie, “My legacy shared.

Girish Johar, who pegged the opening day set for the film at around Rs 1.5-2 crore, said, “It’s a typical hardcore action movie. The trailer is decent. Aditya Roy Kapur fans will see him as a typical Indian hero. The level of excitement is just decent. I feel the movie is a change of gear for Aditya Roy. Kapur, so far he’s done mostly romantic movies, and this is a violent action movie. This time he tried to explore a different field.”
Both Om and Rocketry will be released on approximately 1800-2000 screens.
