Rashmi Vira (Taapsee Pannu) is a small-town girl who overcomes all cultural barriers to become a national-level athlete in the film. But, as she reaches the pinnacle of her triumphant stride, she is confronted with the greatest impediment she has ever encountered, one that has the potential to alter the trajectory of her life. 


Rashmi is compelled to take a gender test, with the results declaring her'mardaana.' Her entire world comes crumbling down around her. How can she compete with women if she isn't on the same level as them? When she competes in women's games, while not being 'feminine enough,' how true are her triumphs and accolades? Will she overcome this stumbling block and sprint to the finish line in this battle for her identity?


Rashmi Rocket takes its time establishing the characters, but it eventually picks up and keeps you captivated throughout. While sports movies have a tendency to become overly emotional, rashmi Rocket's storey and script manage to keep things grounded and accessible. While taapsee pannu delivers a good performance as usual, it is abhishek Banerjee's portrayal as the determined lawyer that shines out. With a strong personality who is as strong as she is fragile, the film tackles a real problem that is holding back a lot of sportswomen around the world.


The background score complements the tale by being in perfect tune with the emotions on screen. The sequencing could have been better, and a few sequences that didn't add much to the plot could have been cut to avoid dragging points in the storey. Rashmi Rocket is more than a sports movie; it's a story about a determined individual who overcomes adversity. It distinguishes out for diving into a little-known, little-discussed'real' component of what ails sports and sportswomen all over the globe.
