"A rousing historical drama which induces a patriotic feel in every Indian!"
17 August 2019
This film shows India's greatest historical achievement of sending the Mars Orbiter Mission (Mangalyaan) satellite to the red planet in the very first attempt at a low cost. It shows the inspirational journey and the set of events that lead up to the successful mission by a group of scientists.

The film shows that anything can be achieved when you have determination, hardwork and perseverance. It captivates the viewer completely from the beginning until the very end! The screenplay is very interesting and keeps you hooked to your seat. The film also has its fair share of comedy and emotions and there are many instances which will touch your heart! All the members of the cast have contributed equally to the success of this film.

The film focuses more on the stories of the scientists involved in the mission and shows less of the technicalities involved in it. The working and the ideas involved are also simplified greatly to enthuse the general audience. One thing which didn't convince me was the absence of Kannada when the whole setup of the film is shown to be in Bengaluru. In one scene, Akshay Kumar throws up some Tamil dialogues when he pretends to speak with the great scientist A.P.J. Abdul Kalam which I felt was unnecessary.

Overall this is a feel-good film with a rousing narrative sure to bring in a proud and patriotic feel in every Indian who watches it!
