Mission Over Mars

The rise of web series in India is like a blessing to the entertainment industry. So many good contents available across all the streaming apps. Among all, the winner for me is Mission Over Mars which is available in Zee5 and Alt Balaji. Looking at the performance of each actor, it's obvious that it's a perfect casting. Thankfully it's not a usual shop opera but a mini series with nice pace and nice editing. Most importantly, it's about the pride of our nation and ISRO. I.e. Mission to Mars with limited resources and budget. Kudos to Vinay Waikul and the writers.

I watched 1st episode of the series without and expectations but surprisingly I was hooked from the 1st minute. A must watch series made on superb efforts of India space scientists.

First of all Mission Over Mars is totally different from Mission Mangal in many aspects and somehow better than the film. Sakshi Tanwar, Nidhi Singh and Ashish Vidyarthi have delivered brilliant performances. Dialogues are superb, story is also nicely described, direction is good, editing is also good but screenplay was poor. The season finale episode was BEST. Overall Mission Over Mars is worth watching!

Really nice series which everyone should definitely watch. No unnecessary drama as was shown in the film. Mission mangal film was a complete flop out of sync movie. Technicalities were not shown in the movie but in this series each small point is taken care of. Movie was full of drama queens and street dualogues but in this series no unnecessary scenes instead they focussed on the real issues ISRO faced. Everyone acted superb in this series. Outstanding performance by the four ladies in this series unlike fake acting in the movie. I was too much dissapointed with the movie which was like a comic film but this series was to the point which made it an outstanding series. Thanks Alt Balaji and Zee5.

The serials aired in Dooradarshan in comparison to the soaps that aired in today's channels were quite ahead of its time, considering the content and talent involved in creating it. Unfortunately it was disrupted and went into ruin and the credit for it should be given to Ekta Kapoor. When she started ALT Balaji i had similar apprehension in watching its shows. To my surprise ALT Balaji produced, Mission Over Mars is quite an engaging watch and i would rate it better than its cinematic counterpart, Mission Mangal, which was more about kitchen politics rather than disclosing the technical aspects of the mission. Even though the trademark of an Ekta Kapoor serial is seen in small doses but it can be written off over the way in which the entire serial is presented & the credit for it should be given to its director, Vinay Waikul, who rather resorting on cliches worked succeeded in showcasing the scientific and technical aspects of the mission. In terms of performance, among the four protagonist the veteran Sakshi Tanwar made the most of out of the role. The only negative aspect of the series was the parts involving Mona Singh and her family which made it the most irritating aspect of the series. Among the supporting actors Ashish Vidyarthi was a surprise and was quite unusual to see him enact a positive roles as in the past he has mainly acted in the villainous roles.

On the whole it is a well produced series and can be watched over its cinematic counterpart which was possible due to the performance of its actors and its effective direction.
