Movie Review (Hindi)
Based on the true story of the launch of
the Mars Orbiter Mission on 5th Nov 2013, Mission Mangal is an
engrossing movie told well. I have always rated movies based on how I am
affected by it, though there have been some occasions when I have allowed
critics voices to cloud my thinking. I am cured of that now. Why I mention this
is because Mission Mangal got me hooked to the screen, though several critics had assured that the movie was a dud.
As a child, I have imagined myself with Capt.
James Kirk and Mr. Spock on Enterprise going where no man has gone before. So,
in a sense, Mission Mangal opened up that fantastic world for me once again. As
I was sucked into this wonderful mystery that is Space, I also enjoyed the
stories that each character came with. However, there was a problem here - There
was no story on Akshay Kumar, the director of the mission.
Thank you, Jagan Shakti, for following your
faith in the story and directing this so admirably. The plot was tight and the
actors were really good at their job.
I think such movies are one of the ways to
ignite that spark among young minds today. They are raring to go and when
they find a true story to inspire them, they will hold on to it and fly.
