Former ISRO scientists blast Madhavan's Rocketry-The Nambi Effect

R.Madhavan's Rocketry-The Nambi Effect, a biopic on ISRO's former aerospace engineer Nambi Narayanan who was falsely implicated in the espionage charges got rave reviews from all quarters when it was released on June 30,2022. The film highlighted how Nambi Narayanan was arrested and insulted by the then Government on espionage charges and how the Supreme Court later cleared him from all the charges and PM Modi's BJP-led NDA government honored him with Padma Bhushan.

In the latest development, Former Isro Scientists came up with shocking allegations blasting Madhavan's Rocketry-The Nambi Effect. Former Indian Space Research Organisation scientists-Dr. A. E. Muthunayagam, Director - LPSE, ISRO; Prof. E. V. S. Namboothiri, Project Director - Cryogenic Engine; D. Sasikumaran, Deputy Director - Cryogenic Engine addressing press, made startling revelations. 

They said "We are forced to tell the public certain matters as Nambi Narayanan has been defaming ISRO and other scientists through the movie Rocketry: The Nambi Effect, and also through television channels. His claims that he is the father of many projects is false. He even claimed in the movie that he once corrected A P J Abdul Kalam, who went on to become the Indian President. That is also false.” They also added that the arrest of Nambi Narayanan did not impact India's cryogenic program as shown in the film. They said ISRO began to develop cryogenic technology in the 1980s and E.V.S. Namboothiri was in-charge. “Narayanan was not having any connection with the project,” It has to be seen how Nambi Narayanan and Madhavan will react to these latest developments.
