First of all thanks to R Madhavan for making this movie. A story that needs to be told. We as a country failed to protect our genius scientists and true patriot like Nambi Narayan Sir. And we owe people like him a big apology and should stand by him to fight against this injustice and prevent and protect future Nambi Narayan's from facing this. 🙏🏻
Every patriotic Indian should watch this movie to know Nambi Narayan Sir's contributions and sacrifices of many scientists like him to bring India to a place that we are in today which would have otherwise taken many many decades to achieve and lastly to be aware of how terribly a great scientist was treated by us as a nation so that we can prevent this from happening to anyone else ever again. 🙏🏻
The movie is basically a biographical on ISRO scientist Nambi Narayan and his struggle to introduce the cryogenic engine in Indian Space science.. he was falsely accused of espionage and the movie is about the brilliance behind Nambi's efforts.. Definitely take your kids to theatre to watch this movie...
The film making is world class. Madhavan has hit the ball out of the park with his first directorial. A story to be told with such conviction is really commendable.
Best Biopic this country has ever produced.
Hats off to Madhavan and his team dedication 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

- TriviaEven though the film had the same cast across the Hindi and Tamil versions with 2 different stars (Shah Rukh Khan in Hindi & Suriya in Tamil), the climaxes in both the Hindi and Tamil versions are slightly different when the real Nambi Narayanan conveys his final thoughts to the anchor. In the Hindi climax, Nambi Narayanan's dialogue is voiced over by Madhavan himself despite Narayanan's hindi lip-sync being correct. However in the Tamil climax, Narayanan speaks the same dialogue for himself in Tamil.
Another notable difference is that in the Hindi version, once Narayanan ends the interview with "Jai Hind" (translation: Victory to India) Shah Rukh Khan conveys the same in return while wiping away his tears. In the Tamil version though, Suriya conveys his silence while being astonished by Narayanan's last words.
- GoofsDuring the Vikas engine's test run, the ISRO logo is revealed on its body. The ISRO logo was adopted in 2002 while the test takes place in 1985.
