Rashmi Veera (Taapsee Pannu) has a natural talent, she sprints like a rocket soaring. She gets noticed by an army trainer, Major Gagan Thakur (Priyanshu Paiyuli) on location in Bhuj who inspires her to shed her personal inhibitions and compete at a professional athletic level. Soon, Rashmi shoots to national fame as the fastest sprinter, much to the chagrin of some male decision makers in the Indian Athletic Association and to the envy some of her own compatriots. Having risen like the Phoenix until now, Rashmi is suddenly slapped with utter humiliation as she is subjected to a gender testing which reveals that she has higher level of testosterone in her blood than is permissible under the international code of athletics.
All the fame, glory and reputation crash through the ground for Rashmi as the is banned from participating in competitive athletics by the association and she plunges herself into depression. Major Thakur and a lawyer Isheet (Abhishek Banerjee) take it upon themselves to convince Rashmi to fight the injustice meted out to her by the association and draw her out of her self isolation. Initially reluctant, Rashmi agrees to go the whole nine yards and prove that the whole witch hunt has been instigated by a high handed association office bearer who has a significant conflict of interest.
Rashmi Rocket is a relevant theme. It is a crusade against the unjust treatment of and discriminatory practices against high performing female athletes, several of whom have either gone into oblivion or lost the battle against an unfair life. It's a sensitive portrayal of courage, determination, empathy, support and love that are pitted against personal interests, rigid rules and unwillingness to change. There are some poignant moments, even though the courtroom drama lacks conviction and reality. Taapsee Pannu has taken up an unconventional role and gives her very best - she is extraordinary. She is ably supported by Priyanshu Paiyuli, Abhishek Banerjee, Akash Khurana, Supriya Pathak and Varun Badola. Rashmi Rocket is content driven, relevant and avoids being preachy, whilst bringing to the table a very pertinent issue of unfair treatment, violation of privacy and dignity of female athletes.

Rashmi Rocket had the potential to be even more greater, given the content and theme of the movie, however it was a bit muddled in the first 40 minutes before making an impact on the second half of the movie.
There is no doubt that Taapsee did a great job in portraying her character, however a number of aspects weren't upto the mark when it came to showcasing the issues faced by athletes even today. The courtroom drama felt a bit of an exaggeration rather than information.
Even though there were few flaws, Rashmi Rocket somehow stays strong and Taapsee makes sure to stay it that way. With few unnecessary scenes, a bit of over the top drama pulled Rashmi Rocket from being a very good movie, although the performance of the lead was commendable.
My Rating : 6.5/10.

The movie was truly a rocket in every sense
The story is a of a village girl who turns out to be a athlete and her journey towards the unfair tests done on her
The direction is ok and needed some polishing..tapsee as usual to be a strong character..the show topper was Abhishek Baneerji great performance by him..the background scores were up to the scale
The movie has everything to offer you like emotions ,drama ,love story ,strong court room scenes, knowledge about athletes rules, emotions,locations etc
A full family watch.

Poor direction, first half is very slow and boring. Second half is a bit better. Specially a scenes that show running doesn't excite as much as it should have.

The comeback scene of Taapsee Pannu is phenomenal. It clearly states what a comeback to an athlete means and how he or she conquers the obstacles in style.

I heard a lot of bad reviews regarding this movie but the story or rather the incident which this movie is based on is relevant and important.
The supporting cast makes this movie worth watching: Supriya Pathak, Abhishek Bannerjee and Supriya Pilgaonkar. Stellar performances. Taapsee is just ok and needs to really focus on her acting skills. Her emotional dialogue delivery is horrible.
All in all, this movie is not as bad as the people are projecting it to be. The movie picks up the pace after 40 mins or so.

Amazing film with such a great message conveyed,I jst dnt understand wts wrong with thz critics and also some of the very biased ppl thy always say they want content based films and when such a film comes thy start criticizing it jst bcz it has not so popular actors, really shame on them. Excellent performances of all actor's with the lawyer tapsee'z husband tapsee herself and supriya tapsee'z mom become highly show stealers...A must watch,I rate it a 7.7/10 stars 🍿🔥👌one of the best movie thz year.

Such a waste of time on movies like these, no doubt names are big and performances are average, but subtext of script is as usual like a B grade movie. Neither actors nor the script writers have done enough research on the sport on which they made this movie, resulting in a movie that's tortuous and convoluted.
Avoid this idiotic movie and watch 'Run Fatboy Run' or 'McFarland, USA' instead for a feelgood factor. You will thank me :)

OMG! This movie is outstanding and the actors have done justice to the role. Taapsee Pannu has justice for the role she has been awarded. Amazing movie to watch!
Just finished watching Rashmi Rocket on Zee5. Seems like all the winners are from the ranks of people wearing black coats and black cloaks. When Tamil film Jai Bheem - albeit burdened with politicised controversies of casteism - is going great guns in India and, I am told all around the world - Rashmi Rocket comes, a not too distant second in the genre of court room thrillers. Of course Tapsi Pannu has done a wonderful job. Abhishek Mukherjee is very impressive as the lawyer appearing for the disqualified woman athelete, with subtle, bumbling and thundering appearances in the court. A superb entertainer, Director Akarsh Khurana has done a terrific job. The good guys are Major Gagan (Priyanshu Painvuli), Supriya Pathak etc. A crooked cop, a conspiring Indian Athletics association board member, a wily over confident lawyer etc play the baddies. Namita Dubey, is a baddie who suddenly finds the good side in her.🤔
A court room drama worth watching. IMDB has fairly awarded 7.7👏👏👏

Nothing new, overacting by Tapsee in a predictable drama film. First half is better but second half is a drag. You feel like...bus karo bhai! Few scenes from courtroom are okok but again very predictable and typical masala.

Supriya Pathak nailed it with her acting skills. Rashmi Rocket is awesome to watch with your friends and family. Witness how an athlete fights her odds to accomplish glory.

Amazing movie by Taapsee pannu.... Taapsee perfectly fits into the athelete look. She is damn good in the role.... Really good performance by a female lead.

Five star for rasing a valid issue and promoting a cause otherwise moviewise an average one. The first half sags but if one overcomes tedium bravely and keeps on, then the court drama compensates.
I can't believe the performances of the cast, some old faces with fresh talent. Still, the old talent is good enough to beat the younger talent..................

Anwar Says : For me , after Chak De , this is the best movie on sports and after Pink , this has the best courtroom scenes. Thanks to Akash Khurana, the director, Abhishek Banerjee, the lawyer and of course the lead , bold and beautiful Tapsee Pannu . Movie starts with the gender bias in sports and hyperandrogenism which confirms the high testosterone level, leads to ban for female athletes.
But the best part of the movie is that it features small and most important human relations , the sweet relationship of Rashmi with her mentor and husband played by Priyanshu Painyuli , her confronting but emotional relationship with omnipresent mother Supriya Pathak and her glass partner, the army doctor , played by Akash Khurana himself.
A story definitely inspired from the athletes like Dutee Chand and Caster Semenya , both fought battle against ban and won . The only part I found unrealistic is a pregnant woman running on a track, though not a bar , but it's too filmi . Courtroom arguments are in pure conversational mode and would sound interesting to the audience. Amit Trivedi has also chipped in some foot- tapping notes .
An out and out watchable movie. Rating is 7.5/10.

As usual, film of Tapsee is over hyped by a specific segment of industry. Worst acting, worst script. Just avoid wastage of time and money. Messed up way of presenting in film. Social values are downgraded and tried to do it in a fancy manner.

There are a number of Hindi movies showing the rise of a sportsperson from hinterland India overcoming obstacles in his/ her path. This movie however has a twist which is new , that is the trauma and the stigma faced by a girl sprinter undergoing gender test after superlative performance on the field. (The rules by international Atheletic association state that if the testosterone level in a woman athelete is beyond a particular level in a blood test ,she has to be banned. Many female atheletes have faced this.)
The storyline is about a girl ( Tapsee Pannu) who is a fast sprinter, nick named "rocket " In her childhood by her father. Nudged by her mother ( Supriya Pathak ) to enter in competitions, she is soon a champion sprinter of her area, and swiftly reaches the national level. Due to jealousy of her co competitor , bureaucratic politics and due to her winning three races, she soon finds herself being subjected to gender tests against her will. She is subsequently banned for failing gender tests. How she takes the bureaucracy to court, wins and springs back fighting against all odds forms the rest of the film. Additionally, her pregnancy proves her innocence for all to see.
The film remains absorbing due to a linear and naturally flowing narrative of Rashmi from her childhood, to a teenager and a married woman. Direction by Akarsh Khurana is admirable. The highlight is of course the acting of Tapsee and she does full justice to the character. She is ably supported by Supriya Pathak who is good as usual as the mother. Worth mentioning is an excellent contribution from Abhishek Banerjee as the lawyer who fights for Tapsee.

Its a nice inspirational story, and Tapsee also looks fine. Infact she suites , but execution seems to have lost the track what director wants to show. Tapsee has same expression throughout film.

A paced plot that keeps you intrigued all the way through, right from the start. Supriya Pathak has nailed the scenes with her amazing acting skills and dedication.
