Watch it on fast forward
17 October 2019
It is not possible to watch this film for its entire run time. At least in one go. However, if you are watching it on an online streaming platform, you are in luck, for the movie can be fast forwarded. I watched the 2 hr and 10 minutes worth of film in around 30 minutes and I am grateful to the director for making a movie that can be watched like this without missing anything indispensable to connecting the dots.

There are some funny moments in the films. I must admit and all said and done one does get some information on India's the mars mission in an entertaining way.

But there is too much tomfoolery going around. Nothing is left to imagination as each reference has to be accompanied by a visual. As expected the movie is replete with nationalistic messaging and religious references too. True to the times , there is a very strong emphasis on highlighting the power of women.

The set and art design are unmistakable copies of those in Hollywood movies. Even the logos of the Indian Space organisation is modeled as such.

The special effects range from average to below to terrible.

I did not watch any song so cannot comment on the quality of the music.

As far the cast is concerned there is nothing great about heir performances. They all do a passable job that is in line with the overall quality of the movie.

The movie can be avoided and if you choose not to watch it on fast forward. However, to be sure, the Indian Mars mission is something worth reading about for unlike this movie, it was a spectacular achievement.
