<p>Rocket<br /></p>.<p>Kannada (U) *<br />Cast: Ninasam Satish, Aishani Shetty, Rashri Ponappa, Achyuth Kumar, Sundar Raj, Padmaja Rao<br />Director: Shiva Shashi<br /><br />Non-stop love, so goes Rocket’s tagline. Sadly, instead of love, it’s non-stop nonsense. With not a whit of thought gone into its making, Rocket reeks of mediocrity and madness. The film is from his own production house, and Satish Ninasam — in trying to take pot-shots at the industry — falls into his own trap. <br /><br />At the heart of Rocket is a saga of romance. One-sided at that. An accident, following an accident, sees Rakesh admitted to a hospital where angelic Dr Shwetha ministers him back to health.<br /><br />With songs aplenty after every episode, Rocket shows how Rakesh accompanies Shwetha to her house in Madikeri, where he learns she is to be married next Sunday. <br /><br />Even as he plots to win her over, jets in Pavithra from the US, for her friend’s marriage. <br /><br />With the gun-wielding brother threatening to shoot Rakesh if he gets fresh with his sister, Rocket is set for a firework of a climax. Does it? <br /><br />One’s patience wears out and one cares a damn whether Rakesh gets Shwetha or Pavithra. It’s time Ninasam Satish revisited his alma mater to burnish his acting skills.<br /><br /></p>
