Watch Rashmi Rocket Movie Online In HD
Rashmi, a small-town girl, overcomes societal barriers and goes on to become a national-level athlete.
The plot of Rashmi Rocket made us reminisce about Indian professional sprinter Dutee Chand, who also became India’s first athlete to openly come out as a member of the LGBTQ+ community in 2019. Chand had made headlines and rocked the country, 19 at the time, after filing a case not just for her disqualification but also discrimination against athletes for atypical sex development.
This is what Rashmi Rocket tries to expose — the plight of athletes who undergo gender testing based on their performance.
Rashmi Rocket is about a village girl who wants to compete in the World Championships for India. The runner may have become an inspiration back home, but things take a pretty dramatic turn when she realises the exploitation that female athletes face in the name of gender testing.
When her body type does not conform to the conventional female cut, she is barred from the sport after being proclaimed ‘not a woman.’
Her achievements, medals, fame, all snatched away in a matter of seconds when she’s accused of lying about her gender and competing in women’s games. Thus begins her battle against the athletics association for regaining her respect and to maintain her identity and return to the race of life.
