This film is inspired by the India Mars orbiter mission. It centers on the lives of two women who lead the program. One was a very strict no nonsense worker, while the other smiled all the time and focused on team work. There was no faux internal conflict as in Hollywood films. This film was for India what "Hidden Figures" was for the US.
Most of the film was in English and subtitles were used when it was not. There were numerous issues involved with the launch, but nothing the women could not overcome.
Plot summary
Inspired by the true story of the women engineers behind India's 2014 Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM),Space MOMs tells the story of normal, middle class working moms who also happen to be rocket scientists working on a very important mission. As the "Space Moms" struggle to pull off an unprecedented feat against impossible odds, they have to balance their brutal work schedules with their family lives. As the "Space Moms" strive to make India the first nation to place a spacecraft into Mars' orbit on the very first try-and on a budget less than what Hollywood spent making the space movie Gravity-many things can and do go wrong. The film also follows the parallel stories of young girls from impoverished backgrounds who begin following the work of the "Space Moms," and who become inspired to believe that they too can reach for the stars. Space MOMs is an inspirational story not only for Indians, but for people of all backgrounds who can connect to the universal themes of love, hard work, family, dreaming big, persistence, and rooting for the underdog. Space MOMs will inspire young girls--and young boys--around the world to pursue their education, especially in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. The "Space Moms" prove that not all heroes wear capes: Some heroes wear saris.

The girl who plays with planets
Amateur, insulting, sloppy, and comical
Full marks for trying to show Hindu values in good light. But the movie is painfully amateur, even to a normal viewer who is unfamiliar with the complexity of space missions. It's insulting not only to one's intellect but also to Hindu tradition, space scientists, and India. Dialogue and action were poor. The lead actors (space moms) were the silver lining.
Great movie on shoestring budget
Its a great movie on minimal budget. Very authentic and presents the true story in an interesting manner devoid of masala. A must watch.
