Rocketry: The Nambi Effect
The people, who should be recognized and celebrated, for their selfless contribution to society and the nation, are usually the people who shy away from the limelight, who would rather stay anonymous, least it gets in the way of their work. Because they strive, persevere, and accomplish more with less, without complaining, without wailing for attention, they become the focus of our ire. They become vulnerable to our worst instincts. How can such goodness, selflessness, honesty and patriotism exist without flaws? There must be a catch, something wrong somewhere.Rocketry – The Nambi Effect, is a retelling of Nambi Narayananʼs life story, as it unravels in an interview by the celebrated superstar Shah Rukh Khan, on a TV program. Like many great minds, Nambi is also deeply flawed. His genius and obsession, earning him enemies and detractors, thus making him a compelling modern-day protagonist.Beyond serving as a treatise for the vindication of quiet achievers in society, this film also challenges the audience to take up the responsibility of recognizing and celebrating these special contributors, whether it be a Nambi Narayanan or a teacher educating poor kids, soldiers at the border, doctors serving in remote villages, or volunteers helping the needy. It also raises a powerful question – Why arenʼt we standing up collectively to defend our innocent, powerless yet great minds against the hegemony of the powers that be? For every Nambi, there are a thousand more quiet achievers fighting for justice.Their stories need to be heard. It starts with Nambi... heʼs just the beginning.

Chaurahen (Crossroads)
Chaurahen (Crossroads) is an evocative and poignant composition consisting of three separate stories set in three different cities in contemporary India. Each revolves around love, life, and loss. The first story enters straight into the heart of Farooq (Ankur Khanna) and Ira's (Soha Ali Khan) relationship in Mumbai. Farooq remains troubled by his own inability to let go of the memories of his dead parents in his ancestral home, which he continues to occupy and use as the disturbing muse for his own writing. So deeply ensconced in being haunted by his own past, Farooq appears incapable of fully living in the present, to the extent to which he proves powerless in responding to the possibility of sharing true love with Ira.In Kolkata, the second vignette revolves around Dr. Siddharth Bose (Victor Banerjee), a wealthy Calcutta surgeon in his fifties. Dr. Bose's is stuck in the rut of a loveless, pitiful, and seemingly pointless marriage, which he attempts to rattle by embarking on a quick, nervous and uncomfortable affair with a much younger woman. His lover, Lea (Kiera Chaplin), is a German on her own journey to discover India, and to some extent herself. Their passionate yet tormented romance lays the groundwork for Dr. Bose and his wife (Roopa Ganguly) to repair their relationship while Dr. Bose simultaneously self-destructs his nascent, doomed affair.The third and final story occurs in the south Indian city of Kochi where the Nair family confronts the sudden loss of a nuclear family member who died serving in the Indian military. One of the Nair children, Naveen (Karthik Kumar), returns from Vienna to try and reconcile the harsh, lonely reality of his brother Keshi's (Shayan Munshi) death with his own inability to connect with his personal and familial history in India and his present predicament of having to feign a relationship with a woman to conceal his love for a man in Europe.
