Mission Mars is a fictionalized version of the events of 2013-14 when India (ISRO) successfully pulled off the Mars Orbit Mission becoming the first country to get a satellite to Mars in its first attempt. And this at a project cost, which was a fraction of what America (NASA) spent on its Maven orbiter to Mars.
The film recounts the story of this mammoth event in the tried and tested, personal anecdotal style. A failed project results in ISRO scientist Rakesh Dhawan (Akshay Kumar) being shunted to an implausible Mission Mars, which seems unlikely to see the light of the day. Fortunately, there is a project manager Tara Shinde (Vidya Balan) in his team who combines scientific knowledge and agency in equal measure and it is her enterprise that proves to be key to getting the project off the ground. The path to scientific achievements is expectedly strewn with roadblocks—insufficient budgets and organizational politics being a few among them but eventually, the red planet is conquered, the Tricolour making its grand entry into the farthest reaches of the universe.
It leaves a smile on the face. And you do feel a swell of pride as the ‘yaan’ comes into view and settles successfully in orbit. Despite the over-arching presence of the latter-day Mr. India, ‘sab mangal hai’.

#MissionMangal – It is remarkable to see the@manner in which @akshaykumar is picking one fantastic film after another. He is excellent in the film with a performance that’s a mix of realism and understated dramatic. He rocks in the film. And yes, he is there from START to FINISH.
