Soumya Srivastava | Hindustan Times: - | 8/10
Jim Sarbh soars with an exceptional cast, SonyLiv finally delivers a great successor to Scam 1992. Rocket Boys also earns many points for the unrelenting attention to detail and realising the need for creating the right atmosphere for your story ... Full Review
Archika Khurana | Times of India: 3.5/5 | 7/10
Rocket Boys is a glowing tribute to India's scientific luminaries, as well as their struggle and hard work. On top of that, Jim Sarbh and Ishwak Singh give credible performances in this biographical drama, making it a well-intended series ... Full Review
Prathyush Parasuraman | Film Companion: - | 7/10
A Sincere, Soaring Hat-Tip To ‘Nehru’s Mad Scientists’. For all its flaws, is a feast of emotions, bursting with pride, pushing back at malice for the most part. At its finest, it is a soaring, engaging drama of two friends busy making their personal missions a national cause ... Full Review
Shubra Gupta | The Indian Express: - | 6/10

FirstPost: - | 5/10
Rocket Boys seems to have failed to fully digest the personalities of both Homi Bhabha and Vikram Sarabhai, to come up with anything interesting to say about their lives, apart from throwing empty adjectives of praise ... Full Review
India Today: - | 5/10
Director Abhay Pannu has tried to pack in too much into a series that feels overstretched. A line in Rocket Boys goes, “Often the best men tend to lose objectivity in their pursuit of excellence.” Perhaps, this is what happened to the series ... Full Review
The Hindu: - | 7/10
Jim Sarbh and Ishwak Singh head a fantastic ensemble cast that gloriously bring to life the achievements of the scientific community in launching India’s atomic and space programmes ... Full Review
Nandini Ramnath | Scroll: - | 6/10
Rocket Boys sometimes lands a bit like one of the early experiments with bomb-making and rocketry. The outcome may not always be as desired, but 100 on 100 for sheer effort and extra points for gumption ... Full Review
Deccan Herald: 3/5 | 6/10
Commendable execution, sincere performances make Jim Sharb-starrer a watchable affair. The show works mainly because of the detailed character development and sincere performances ... Full Review
Mayank Shekhar | Mid-Day: 4/5 | 8/10
This is a work of staggering ambition and sincerity, mainly given that you won’t easily find its immediate equivalent from Indian television. It’s a biopic, yes; make that two, in fact. But from a field that, unlike, say, sports or crime, doesn’t instantly lend itself to obvious drama, as it were. We’re talking science, of course ... Full Review
IANS | On Mamorama: 3/5 | 6/10

Cinema Express: 3/5 | 6/10
Rocket Boys is certainly a show worth investing time in. However, if one were to go in expecting a space drama this would be a disappointment. Rocket Boys is all about the life and trials of Vikram Sarabhai and Homi Bhabha ... Full Review
High on Films: 3.5/5 | 7/10
There are some moments in the series where it seems to fall into the traps of regularity. Some of the twists and turns do not come across as organically as they could have. But, the series mostly manages to negate those with its good performances, top-notch cinematography, and a superlative title sequence ... Full Review

हिंदी में अब तक बनी वेब सीरीज में वेब सीरीज ‘रॉकेट ब्वॉयज’ गिनती बेहतरीन सीरीज में सालों साल होती रहेगी। पहले एपीसोड से आठवें एपीसोड तक एक मिनट भी यह आपका ध्यान भटकने नहीं देगी, इसकी गारंटी मेरी है ... Full Review
Ravi Bule | ABP Live: 3/5 | 5.5/10
सीरीज की समस्या यह है कि इसकी रफ्तार धीमी है. बहुत सारी साइंस की बातें हैं. जो हर किसी के समझ नहीं पड़ेगी. रोमांस थोड़ा है ... Full Review

Overall, this fictionalized exploration yields an engaging viewing, and for Indian showbiz, a rare success at making real scientists look like mythical heroes ... Full Review
Subhash K Jha | IWM Buzz: 2.5/5 | 5/10
Rocket Boys is high on good intentions and comparatively low on execution. There is too much happening here, and too little that does justice to that portion of Indian history which it attempts to arrange in a serial manner ... Full Review
Outlook India: 4/5 | 8/10
Rocket Boys while celebrating their achievements, doesn’t mind shining light on their losses, their rash and their weak moments and all those decisions that made them human, also rightfully acknowledging the support of their families, not just emotionally, but in their cases financially and influentially as well ... Full Review
Lehren: 3.5/5 | 7/10
Rocket Boys gets its ratings for some spirited performances. Right on top is Jim Sarbh, armed with the natural blessing of Parsee genes but going way beyond to make the stylish, accomplished Homi J Bhabha completely credible ... Full Review
