Mission Mangal

It's too much into characters, showing scientists doing all kinds of useless works, and not much about the mission itself.

One of the wrost movie in Bollywood in sci fiction genre... My expectation in high after seeing the trailer but movie is very poor

There is an overlying sense of artificiality in the way Mission Mangal (Mars Mission) has been made, with abundant textbook techniques to mix comedy and drama into the proceedings of a vastly technical subject such as an organization's attempt to send a satellite on the Martian orbit. It ends up as a series of cringe-worthy sequences. For a film that demands realism as the only single factor, Mission Mangal strays away from it right from the word go! as we see the actors fooling around in office and wherever they go. It's a good idea by writer R Balki to refer home science as the solution to issues hampering space travel but the way they have been dramatized makes the discerning viewer coil in anger and disgust. Melodrama takes the limelight in the film that can be best characterized as a lackluster take on a historic feat, that only gets worse as you proceed watching it, eventually leading you to a specific scene where a gang of inebriated Isro scientists brawl in a metro car all of which reeks of self-righteousness. Mission Mangal is a mockery of the very subject that it pays homage to. There's no reason to spend any money on this and I would instead recommend going through the Wikipedia page of the actual mission instead. TN.

Mission Mangal is an enlightening and humbling 'Mangalyaan for Dummies' with a measured sprinkling of masala and humour for mass appeal and to prevent it from being a bland documentary. Mostly good acting and Akshay Kumar is anyway easy on the eyes. Before you can wipe off your tears of joy after the climax, you hear the unnecessary gloating of the country's famous chest thumper. Someone please tell him to leave the chest thumping to juvenile gorillas. A bit of humility and a pat on the back of the high achieving team will do wonders.

Its not a Biopic... Its more of a PARODY of Mangal Mission. Ruined the Image of ISRO. Bollywood should learn something from Perfection like 'Chernobyl'.
