"Space Moms" is another must watch movie. We watched the screening in the presence of director/producer Radha Bhardwaj and the Consulate General of India.
The movie is based on the inspiring true story of the women behind India's historic Mars mission. The movie exhibits the real strength of India, its ancient culture, Hindu value system, intelligent engineers and scientists. It makes you emotional and brings tears to your eyes. The movie production took over 4 years whereas the actual mission was accomplished in just 14 months. Extremely aggressive plan for such a gigantic project. Indeed "Rocket Science" in a true sense!
A few remarkable highlights of India's Mars mission :-
* Only 4 countries have successful Mars missions. India is among them.
* India is the first country with a successful first attempt!
* It took 9 months to travel from the Earth to the Mars.
* Its budget was 1/4th the cost of the US Mars mission and
* It is cheaper than the movie "Gravity".
Typical Bollywood/Hollywood movies paint India/Hindus in a bad light. They demonize India/Hindus and make you feel ashamed, inferior or apologetic. Whereas this movie tells the truth about India and its people. It brings positivity! Watch and feel prouder. It's very inspiring for women, moms, girls and children.
Salute to director Radha Bhardwaj who took the risk of making an out-of-the-box movie. Unlike other movies, her intention is not to earn money but to highlight the positive image of motherland India, to show the world the strength of India and its ancient roots, to make you feel prouder. Must watch.
My take.
Must watch. It's a movie that has been made well.
Tailpiece.
Got up at 6, hearing the deluge which continued almost through the entire day.
Another of those quiet days!
