MISSION MANGAL-
Produced by Fox Star Studios, this film is loosely based on the story of scientists at ISRO who contributed to the Mars Orbiter Mission, India’s first interplanetary expedition.
Co-written by R Balki and Jagan Shakti, the film is directed by Jagan Shakti.
It boasts of a stellar list of star cast including Akshay Kumar, Vidya Balan, Taapsee Pannu, Kriti Kulhari, Sonakshi Sinha and Sharman Joshi.
While the trailer does not seem too impacting, there are many aspects in favour of the film.
The real life success story of our Mars Mission with the right intent of bringing to fore, the achievements of our very own ISRO team who made this mission a success with their indigenous solutions and low cost ideas definitely strikes a chord.
Also, fresh in mind is the success of our Chandrayan 2 . Audience are bound to be curious.
The fan following of the huge star cast and the bankability of their performances is also a point quite on the movie ‘s side.
What remains to be seen is how have the makers dealt with the highly technical core of the story while balancing the ease of understanding and connection to the masses.
