Indias Most Underrated Show
Yes literally its the most indias most Underrated Show Whenever I ask about this show and their reaction is like 🤔,but sometimes I feed sad for this show what sony liv's marketing team doing they have indias one of the best show.
'Rocket Boys' tells the story of two
legendary physicists, and Dr. Homi Jehangir Bhabha-colloquially known as "Father of the Indian Nuclear Program" Dr. Vikram Ambalal Sarabhai- internationally regarded as the "Father of the Indian Space Program"
'This biographical fictionalised drama, created by Nikhil Advani, Roy Kapur Films, and Emmay Entertainment, is captivating from the start, successfully recreating iconic moments from the past, particularly those that occurred in the pre and post Independence era. The concept by Abhay Koranne is both intense and inspiring for the viewers while narrating the real-life incidents of these scientists and their efforts to propel the newly independent and struggling country forward in the technology path.
The later episodes also shed light on a budding scientist, none other than Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam -internationally known as the "Missile Man of India" (essayed by Arjun Radhakrishnan) himself, who worked closely with Sarabhai on the first rocket launch into space. It also captures the role that former Prime Minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru (essayed by Rajit Kapoor) played in furthering India's nuclear program. Additionally, the screenplay includes historical clippings that run alongside the narrative to substantiate the events that occurred between the early 1940s and the 1960s.
Fact- Dr APJ Abdul kalam entry gives you goosebumps in the show
This series is going to be a treat for those who love science or have been following india's developement in the field of science. You know very well what this series or rather, whom this series is based upon so let me jump to the positive points:-
The performance by Jim Sarbh and Ishwak singh is top class. Many might question why Ishwak singh's Vikram doesnt age at all with time. The fact is Sarabhai really looked young even at later stages of his life. Jim Sarbh as Homi Bhaba is one step further. His charm and subtle humor that his character possesses is a treat to watch.
Addition of 35 mm reels from the 1950s is another masterstroke. Good detailing has also gone into the sets making sure we are aware in which time we are.
And Last but not least "Music" What a masterpiece, Salute to Achinit thakar who gives the music of this show, First Scam 1992 and now in this they working well Especially Intro music of this show truly masterpiece I never Skipped Intro in 16 Episodes
Yes, The Show has 2 season's with 16 Episodes 40 min of each average but its 100% worth watching, Its avaliable on Sony Liv.
Obviously The Show had some negative points
The Show has based on true events but not 100% for engaging audiences the show has Creative freedom so in some episodes that have much drama
It is ok to show the personal lives of the two scientists but for literally 5 episodes? Their love lives are given meaty screen space and that dissapointed me as the series could have focussed more on science rather than love. The love angle could have been chopped off a bit.
So thats it for today guys
At the end, Overall, a must watch series. Definitely not for "Pushpa, KGF" audience so choose wisely and you wont be dissapointed. One thing you will realize that Homi was more like a "Netaji Shubash" while Sarabhai had more of a "Mahatma Gandhi" kind of mindet.
