Title – Rocket, Producers – Satish Picture House, Direction – Shivashashi, Camera – Advaith Gurumurthy, Music – Poornachandra Tejaswi,  Cast – Ninasam Satish, Aishani Shetty, Achyuth Kumar, Nagendra Shah, Padmaja Rao, Ninasam Ashwath, Roopasri Gowda, Raashri Ponnappa, Mahantesh Ramadurga and others.

In his first film as producer Ninasam Satish has made way for several emotions and lively moments are also in abundance. Yet the slow pace in the first half is a worry for this film. Achyuth Kumar repeats his second half role in First Rank Raju in this film ‘Rocket’. He makes his son to get in love lock and marry happily. This is exactly the change over portion of Achyuth Kumar in FRR for his son Guru Nandan.

The issue of ‘Papa Pragne’ is high point of this film. The hero Ninasam Satish taking right decision for his mistake in the beginning deserves salute. Yet the pure love wins in this film

Son of an aristocratic family Rakesh (Satish) is freeloader from his family earnings. He is left free by his parents. When he is in hospital for treatment it is Dr Shwetha who attracts his heart. He is timid to tell his love. He picks up an idea of writing a story for his film and goes on with narration and that is true according to him. When he is about to bring the proposal he gets a shock from Shwetha that she is engaged to Manoj.

The narration takes different turn when the earlier lover of Rakesh arrives and what is the background of Manoj is further more shocking.

Ninasam Satish known for go for lucky roles has shown good emotions especially in second half. He has some good action too in this film. Aishani Shetty is ‘Chand Ka Tukda’. Very sweet and dialogue has to be improved. Achyuth Kumar, Nagendra Shah, Padmaja Rao have come out well. Raashri Ponnappa has a good role to perform. Hubli-Dharwad style Kannada diction in new actor is additional boost.

136 minutes 27 minutes could have been brought to 120 minutes. Naan Yaru Helodilla…correct Agi Idvi Nav…Idu Yava Tarada Yathane….Hogabarade Jeeva…. Barayya Javaraya are well composed by state award winning music director Poornachandra Tejaswi.

Cinematography is lovely. It is a competitive film from Ninasam Satish and team. Debutant director Shivashashi has good road to go ahead.

Score – 3.5/5
