Soumya Srivastava | Hindustan Times: n/a ⇨ 4/10
An underwhelming return despite a perfect Jim Sarbh. A couple bad performances and some weak writing make this season of hit SonyLiv show a rather underwhelming watch ... Full Review
Archika Khurana | Times of India: 3.5/5 ⇨ 7/10
Overall, ‘Rocket Boys 2’ allows you to experience life as one of these genius individuals who have contributed so much to the nation. While being enriched with content, this biographical drama is both engaging and thrilling at the same time ... Full Review
Prathyush Parasuraman | Film Companion: n/a ⇨ 7/10
A tenderness, a rousing sincerity of storytelling comes through. That keeps the flicker of the show alive, even as it comes dangerously close to being extinguished ... Full Review
Shubra Gupta | The Indian Express: n/a ⇨ 7/10
The series is the most vibrant when the camera is trained on the original rocket boy duo, Homi J Bhabha and Vikram Sarabhai, imperfect men who never let their weaknesses detract from their vision ... Full Review
The New Indian Express: 4/5 ⇨ 8/10
A love letter to India and its men of science. The second season of Rocket Boys is an exhilarating tale of Indian History with thrills and heartbreak served in equal measure ... Full Review
Saibal Chatterjee | NDTV: 3.5/5 ⇨ 7/10
Aims High And Nearly Gets There. Jim Sarbh and Ishwak Singh deliver performances that are nuanced and potent. Regina Cassandra shines bright and steals many a scene ... Full Review
Times Now News: n/a ⇨ 6/10
By the end of it, the show did educate me and proved to be a good watch. All in all, it is a good one time watch and you can see it with your family ... Full Review
Shubham Kulkarni | Koimoi: 3.5/5 ⇨ 7/10
Rocket Boys 2 is a crackling example of how not adding unnecessary drama can still create an immersive show that is educating and entertaining at the same time ... Full Review
Vinamra Mathur | FirstPost: 3/5 ⇨ 6/10
Jim Sarbh and Ishwak Singh's show gets denser and more conflicted this time around. Season two has far more complexities and conflicts that Homi J Bhabha and Vikram Sarabhai have to face, even if that could mean the series veers into the space of getting little theatrical ... Full Review
Roktim Rajpal | India Today: 3.5/5 ⇨ 7/10
The series is a compelling drama that works because of its well-written screenplay. Jim Sarbh and Ishwak Singh’s earnest performances do justice to the inherently engaging plot ... Full Review
The Hindu: n/a ⇨ 5/10
Reaches for broader horizons, but loses focus. Though as measured and affectionate a series as before, ‘Rocket Boys,’ starring Jim Sarbh and Ishwak Singh, loses propulsion in the new season in a bid to bump up the stakes ... Full Review
Deepa Gahlot | Rediff: 3.5/5 ⇨ 7/10
Fascinating Watch. The intelligently conceptualised show does more for nationalistic pride than a dozen jingoistic series ... Full Review
DNAIndia: 3.5/5 ⇨ 7/10
More sluggish, dramatic than season 1 but still a great watch. Jim Sarbh and Ishwak Singh carry forward the story of Homi Bhabha and Vikram Sarabhai with panache even if the show itself falters in places ... Full Review
Nandini Ramnath | Scroll: n/a ⇨ 5/10
The new season is altogether less focused and feels rushed in parts. Bhabha’s death – and the exit of a hugely charismatic and delightful Jim Sarbh – leaves a gaping hole that is never filled ... Full Review
Deccan Chronicle: n/a ⇨ 5/10
Being ambitious is good. Being over-ambitious can prove to be dangerous. ‘Rocket Boys 2’ falls into the second category. It wants to be many things at the same time ... Full Review
India Forums: 3.5/5 ⇨ 7/10
Rocket Boys 2' is still one of the best Indian web shows ever inspite of a few shortcomings. The success story of Rocket Boys has been one to relish for an array of factors from the outset. An information-dense show about two of India's most celebrated scientists and their early days was something not many would have foreseen being a ginormous hit ... Full Review
Binged: 6/10
A worthy follow up to the debut season of the show. It has drawbacks aplenty – the exceedingly slow pace and heavy fictionalising of the story being the main ones. But it is a gripping and compelling watch, nevertheless ... Full Review
OTT Play: 3.5/5 ⇨ 7/10
Jim Sarbh-Ishwak Singh's show has matured but taps into too many things. There's always something new in each episode but it also manages to grab your attention ... Full Review
Zoom TV: 2/5 ⇨ 4/10
A mediocre attempt at revisiting India's history. If a movie or a web show has strong dialogues, the narrative tends to stay with us longer and we keep revisiting that said movie or web show. Sadly, no such thing happened with Rocket Boys 2 ... Full Review
Lehren: 3/5 ⇨ 6/10
A Tribute To Legends & Legacies. But, as a hat tip to Homi Bhabha, Vikram Sarabhai, Raja Ramanna, Abdul Kalam and all the ‘boys’ who propelled India’s rise as a power, it’s worth a watch ... Full Review
The Quint: 4.5/5 ⇨ 9/10
One of the primary reasons why the show works and resonates today is that the struggles of the people of this country remain largely the same all these years later ... Full Review
Subhash K Jha | Spotboye: 2/5 ⇨ 4/10
Fails To Create An Ever-Lasting Impact. Everyone has an agenda in Rocket Boys 2, although one is never sure what it is ... Full Review
Aswin Bharadwaj | Lens Men Reviews: n/a ⇨ 6/10
Rocket Boys 2 is basically a history class from a teacher who narrates it compellingly without a second of boredom ... Full Review
Free Press Journal: 3.5/5 ⇨ 7/10
Tautly written and compelling. It distinctly showcases the contrasting personalities of two stalwarts which reflects the two ends of a spectrum, and even mentions it, “Raste alag hain par manzilein ek hi hai” ... Full Review
MensXP: n/a ⇨ 7/10
As I said in the beginning, moments are what stay with us long after an event is over. And Rocket Boys Season 2 gives you a lot of moments to mull over ... Full Review
Mashable: n/a ⇨ 7/10
Rocket Boys 2 does a great deal of teaching, whether it's about science, history, politics, or the personal lives of these historical figures. It isn't easy to maintain the balance, but creators Nikhil Advani and Abhay Pannu have managed to do it for two seasons ... Full Review
Mirchi: 3.5/5 ⇨ 7/10
Overall, ‘Rocket Boys 2’ provides viewers with a unique opportunity to experience the lives of these genius individuals who have made significant contributions to their nation. The show is not only informative but also engaging and thrilling, making for an excellent biographical drama ... Full Review
Newsbytes App: 4.5/5 ⇨ 9/10
Perfect tribute to India's science odyssey. An intriguing story, captivating performances, stunning visuals, powerful music, and controversies that added hindrances to India's growth in science - Rocket Boys 2 is about all of these ... Full Review
Latestly: 2.5/5 ⇨ 6/10
Jim Sarbh-Ishwak Singh Series Shines in Moments But Pales in Comparison to Predecessor ... Full Review
