It's never been easy to recreate past since directors must not only get the event or incident right, but also the periods and environment in which it occurred. Rocket Boys, the latest show from SonyLIV Originals, takes a deep plunge into narrative and brings India's scientific voyage to life, with Dr. Homi Bhabha and Dr. vikram Sarabhai at its centre. jim sarbh plays Homi Bhabha, the creator of India's nuke program, and Ishwak Singh plays Sarabhai, the founder of India's space programme.
Rocket Boys is a film directed and written by Abhay Pannu that spans over three decades, beginning in 1942 when a young Sarabhai is transported back to india from the united kingdom owing to the war. A optimistic Sarabhai joins Homi Bhabha's atomic research group with the goal of one day sending a rocket into space. From there, a careful exploration of chemistry, astronomy, and energy production begins.
Their unique journeys, hardships, and will to succeed have all been extensively recorded. What sticks out, nevertheless, is their camaraderie, which keeps us committed throughout the eight episodes despite their polar opposite personalities. jim sarbh and Ishwak Singh each bring legendary indian figures to life in their own unique ways that never feel off-putting. In the second half of the series, rajit kapoor portrays a bright Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, whereas arjun Radhakrishnan smoothly portrays a youthful APJ Abdul Kalam.
Despite the fact that it is a male-dominated society, the existence of women characters in Bhabha and Sarabhai's life is not overlooked. Mrinalini is played by Regina Cassandra, who has an old school elegance, while Pipsy the attorney is played by Saba Azad, who has a feisty temperament. Overall, this is an excellent account of India's actual path, which is reinforced by emotions, human desires, and significant landmarks. One such adventure is one that modern india could enjoy revisiting.
