Given popular Indian cinema's repute for exploiting cinematic liberties, one wasn't expecting the moviemakers to research well?
But they did in this case. The movie therefore becomes a chronicle of India's post-independence struggle to reach where it is now.

The protagonist in the trailer is shown walking in a workshop wearing SEP apron.
SEP = Societe Europeenne de Propulsion, is a French engine manufacturer now known as SAFRAN.
ISRO-SAFRAN relations have been thickest, & epitome of #IndiaFrance strategic relations.

#OnThisDay in 1919 was born Vikram Sarabhai, the father of India's space programme. But Sarabhai was much more than just a scientist, living an extraordinarily full life. Read on to learn more about him! #VikramSarabhai #ISRO #India #history #funwithfundas (1/23)
According to a popular (unconfirmed) story, Rabindranath Tagore, a part-time phrenologist, seeing the baby Sarabhai's large and unusually shaped forehead, pronounced that "this boy will achieve great things". #tagore (2/23)
For those wondering, phrenology is a pseudoscientific study of the shape and bumps on the skull to predict a person's character and traits. It was very popular in the 19th century. (3/23)
How the shameless #DMK Govt shunted away #ISRO Launchpad from #Kanniyakumari to #Sriharikota? Shocked to know? But going by DMK's track-record this is nothing. So it was clear to ISRO that to launch polar satellites launchpad has to be located on the Eastern Coast. Hence they (1)
selected Kanniyakumari TN. #VikramSarabhai takes an appointment to meet then TN CM DMK's #Annadurai, Annadurai suffers backpain & hence asks DMK Minister Mathiyalagan to meet #Sarabhai. Mathiyalagan comes fully drunk to meet who? Father of Indian Space Program #VikramSarabhai (2)
& talks rubbish + makes unreasonable demands(u know what?) to #Sarabhai. Frustrated #VikramSarabhai leaves TN in agonly & ISRO ticks off #Sriharikota for #Kanniyakumari This shocking treachery of DMK is revealed in Scientist #NambiNarayanan's recent book.
