After sanitation and hygiene (Toilet Ek Prem Katha), women’s sanitary health and social enterprise (Padman) superstar Akshay Kumar completes his nation-building film trilogy with an enormous leap to Mars in his latest
offering Mission Mangal.
Mission Mars may be a fictionalized version of the events of 2013-14 when India (ISRO) successfully achieved the Mars Orbit Mission becoming the primary country to urge a satellite to Mars in its first attempt. And this at a project cost, which was a fraction of what America (NASA) spent on its Maven orbiter to Mars.
The film recounts the story of this mammoth event within the tried and tested, personal anecdotal style. A failed project leads to ISRO scientist Rakesh Dhawan (Akshay Kumar) being shunted to a fantastic Mission Mars, which seems unlikely to ascertain the sunshine of the day. Fortunately, there's a project manager Tara Shinde (Vidya Balan) in his team who combines knowledge domain and agency in equal measure and it's her enterprise that proves to be key to getting the project off the bottom . the trail to scientific achievements is expectedly strewn with roadblocks—insufficient budgets and organizational politics being a couple of among them but eventually, the Mars is conquered, the Tricolour making its grand entry into the farthest reaches of the universe.
The writing by Sajid-Farhad errs on the side of oversimplification. Keeping things light may be a much-admired virtue in Hindi films, but during this instance, i'm afraid, the ode to Indian Jugaad finishes up undermining the importance of scientific ambition and achievements. Every solution to the issues facing this ambitious and sophisticated project is found in ridiculously simple circumstances perhaps to chop down on space jargon but finishes up becoming formulaic. To cite an example there's the logic of frying puris that solves the space rocket’s fuel problems, a pamphlet on plastic barricading the oceans that resolves the matter of the sunshine material to be used or the planning on a cushion cover that the provides the eureka moment on the form and style of the satellite. stepping into details of technical snags etc. serves little purpose by way of storytelling so it's glossed over with minimal fuss.
Of the characters, Rakesh Dhawan, the male lead of the film is surprisingly one-note his sole virtue being singing old Hindi songs to suit the occasion or bringing during a touch of humour within the most tense situations. Kumar plays the rather limited role with deftness making it immensely likable. But kudos to him for enjoying second fiddle to Balan, who absolutely owns the film together with her charming, matronly turn. Balancing her domestic life with an old-fashioned husband and demanding kids with an equally punishing professional life- this might be the story of each modern working woman. These are the bits that sparkle and make Mission Mangal worth a watch. the remainder of the supporting cast comprising Nithya Menen, Taapsee Pannu, Sonakshi Sinha, Kirti Kulhari, Sharman Joshi and H.G. Dattatreya, Vikram Gokhale, Sanjay Kapoor, and Dalip Tahil make the simplest of the sketchy roles they need been pencilled certain .
Despite its creative shortcomings, director Jagan Shakti makes the film evoke patriotic fervor within the audience. Truth be told, within the climax, one can’t help but be crammed with wonder and pride when the satellite swings into sight!
And yes, as long as the film doffs a hat to the true-life heroes who accomplished the impossible feat, one hopes that the film’s collections at the box-office are ‘Mangal’ too.
