Space MOMs

A positive portrayal of Indian women. These women are deeply rooted in their culture and heritage. Whilst there are no "stars" in Space MOMs, there are plenty of powerful performances. The cast and crew are Indian and are based in India, with the exception of two cameos - a British TV reporter and an American one - The filmmaker has done her research on the project, and her passion can be seen in the scenes where she portrays the teacher of many young female students. It pulls at your heart strings, as you become emotionally attached and invested in the characters.

To those not familiar with the film, space moms is based on the true story of the women behind India's Mars mission. The movie does a good job of revealing the aspirational nature ISRO (India's Nasa) and their constraints. It provides an fresh and authentic perspective on inclusive nature of ISRO's culture and normal Indian life. The character's are authentic, and real. Wish their was greater opportunity to further develop the characters and the development team dynamic, but it's only 90 mins long.

If your an Indian or have roots from India this is a film you must see. It reflects modern India's aspirations along with it's ancient roots. If your not -- this film provides a fresh and authentic perspective on India. Something that very few films have done.

Thanks to Radha Bharadwaj for bringing us a sincere, authentic story of real individuals, their challenges, accomplishments and successes. Very powerful and moving, told with total honesty, no artifice or gimmickry. Every character rings true and I found myself rooting for them, sharing their disappointments, frustrations and excitement. Great must see movie for not only indians, but everyone who celebrates the extraordinary accomplishments of everyday men and women.

Very nicely made movie telling the hard work and prayers of the mothers Everyone should watch this movie.

Keep on spreading the word.

Come forward and support this truth.

My first warning should have been the high IMDb rating with only 88 people voting. That means friends and family of the filmmaker and actors voted. Not the general public.

Secondly is the fact that an excellent movie has already been made about women in the space program. Can you say HIDDEN FIGURES???

My biggest complaint is the acting. Absolutely atrocious! You'd think in a country with over a billion people, you could find a half dozen who can act? Wow. Everyone in the movie is terrible. And I mean everyone.

Then there's the problem of language. Most of the movie is in English. But when they speak Hindi, or whatever language they're speaking, you'd think it would be submitted. But NO! I checked and subtitles were'n even an option.

Then there's the problem of writing. Did a third grader write the script? So amateurish it isn't even funny.

And my last beef is the directing. It's so awkward I felt embarrassed for anyone involved in this project.

Don't waste your time watching this dreadful film. Go take a walk. Read a good book. Listen to some nice music. But don't watch this "film."
