Mission Mangal is a stirring drama-sci-fi film that chronicles the inspiring true story of the Indian Space Research Organisation’s (ISRO) Mars Orbiter Mission (Mangalyaan). Directed by Jagan Shakti and penned by R. Balki, Shakti, Nidhi Singh Dharma, and Saketh Kondiparthi, it follows a ragtag team of Indian scientists led by Rakesh Dhawan (Akshay Kumar) and Tara Shinde (Vidya Balan), who—despite failure, underdog status, budget constraints, and skepticism—come together to accomplish what was deemed impossible: sending India’s first interplanetary mission to Mars. Produced by Cape of Good Films, Hope Productions, Fox Star Studios, Aruna Bhatia, and Anil Naidu, the film delivered both critical acclaim and commercial success, earning nearly ₹291 crore worldwide.
