Jim Sarbh soars with an exceptional cast... Go to Full Review Tatsam Mukherjee Firstpost 02/23/2022
The show seems to have failed to fully digest the personalities of both Bhabha and Sarabhai, to come up with anything interesting to say about their lives, apart from throwing empty adjectives of praise towards their intellectual superiority. Go to Full Review Sukanya Verma Rediff.com 02/12/2022
4/5
A soaring tribute to the two pillars of India's science world. Go to Full Review Akhil Arora Gadgets360 02/12/2022
Rocket Boys feels like it's nostalgic for a more optimistic India ... In these dark and depressing times where everything India once stood for is being razed to the ground, Rocket Boys is both necessary and a response to the country that we've become. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Sharang L @Scribe187 09/28/2024 Way better than regular Indian OTT fare. Doesn't scrimp on the entertainment while telling a science-heavy true story. See more Deepak C @RT26146466 04/08/2023 Throughout this series, i got to know about Indian history special science and technology, Indian politics and American CIA who still wants world domination over world. It's really engaging with detailing masterpiece Indian TV series which not less than Scam 1992 or Aspirants, or any others. See more Sachin E @sachineldho 03/25/2023 Too many fictional elements in a historical drama. The creators should have been more careful in using artistic liberty while telling the stories of actual people, that too prominent scientists. See more 07/25/2022 SonyLIV has come up with another winner. Just like Scam 1992, Rocket Boys focuses on key figures at a key time in Indian history and is excellently produced, well scripted and has a strong cast. It's wonderful to see these stories getting the time and space they deserve through the OTT medium. And encouragingly, they are finally being told with confidence and courage, without disguising identities (for the most part) See more 07/01/2022 This is a great series, very much at par with scam 1992. Looking forward to next one See more 03/05/2022 First I will say that cinema does effect the opinions and the knowledge. The series is good demonstration of the event but with wrong timeline. I expected to earn something form it but I will doubt every fact shown in the series after watching it. Could have been shown as a fictional work rather than involving the names of great scientist of India with worn time-line. Involvement of fictional characters is just not acceptable. Too much of personal life drama which I don't is true at all. Could have been much better with a deep research of timeline, events and focus on the event (not personal life).
