Antariksham 9000 KMPH (2018) Movie Script
1
- Bride hunting again, huh?
- Yeah, as usual!
- What happened now?
- It's Mihira satellite
- It was fine, what now?
- Don't know
Technical or battery issue
- When did you get to know?
- 20 minutes
In this crucial time, imagine!
- Is sir aware of this?
- He'll be here at any moment
I've initiated Mihira satellite
battery usage, 60 seconds to go
- If it fails what is the situation?
- This is an old satellite, Mohan
Already NASA Deep Space
network has a back up
So telecommunication
not being affected
- Our worry is considerably lessened
- True
If zero emotional attachment
no need to worry at all!
60 seconds over
Only old coordinates showing up
Why isn't it showing the position?
Very important to know
the satellite's location
'Anand, try this'
Get information from
the nearby satellites
With the help of their path trackers
trace Mihira satellite's current position
Okay, sir
'The entire online navigation
and guidance system has failed'
'Redundant systems are
not responding either'
This is the most prestigious project
with Russian coordination
'Manned mission'
Matter of immense pride
1st time Indians are being sent to space
4 astronauts from India
If we don't bring Mihira under our control
this project can turn into a disaster
We can't let that happen
Sir, we need an expert
to set our telemetry settings
Connect our astronauts undergoing
training in Russia on a video call
Quick...!
'Convoy, this is Control'
'Proceed with Crew Egress, over'
'Checking configuration'
Karan, you guys have a call
from Indian Space Centre
'Copy'
- Hi
- 'Hello, sir'
- Adithya or Karan?
- It's Adithya
Karan has gone for simulation test
and Sanjay will also join us
We have Riya
Sir, even we got to know only now
We are all really shocked!
We don't have enough time
You must return to India at once
But Adithya and Karan's
simulation test is in 2 days
'1st you have to come, Riya
We can bring them back later'
We are expecting you
back here tomorrow, okay?
Yes, sir
- Grandma
- Riya
4 years have gone by
Why have you lost so much weight?
You always say this, grandma
Refresh yourself
and come eat, dear
I have to leave, grandma
You just got here
If you don't even rest for a day-
No time, grandma
Actually...
...it's very urgent
What is so urgent, dear?
I'll tell you after I get back, okay?
I still remember the headlines then
Mihira Satellite Lives In Sky
It was such a proud moment for our country
That satellite was launched 12 years ago
Missing its position
isn't a big surprise!
We...we really should
have been more careful
Welcome, Riya
Good to see you
Mihira satellite is
travelling at 2000 kmph
In its orbit
Every 24 hours...
...it falls short of
a distance of 2 km
'Since it is drifting...'
'...in almost 45 days'
...it may collide with
IMS-1 satellite in the lower orbit
Loss from this collision is
not for our satellite alone, sir
This debris moves at a speed
of 2000 kmph in space
That debris will hit the satellites
of neighboring countries
'...which in turn will hit
other satellites'
The fault in our Space Centre may cause
a black-out in the world's communication
Sir, it's a COD systems failure
We configured Mihira satellite system
with the old code
After that when the last scientist
Sharath Singh in the team retired...
...knowledge transfer was done to Dev
Sharath Singh died of
cardiac arrest 2 weeks later
Now we don't have anyone
qualified to modify the code
The necessity to teach anyone didn't arise
Tell me one good news, Mohan, please
- There is one, sir
- What is it?
We can ask Dev to transfer knowledge
to 1 of these astronauts
As soon as he enters space
he should be able to fix Mihira
5 years since Dev left!
He isn't even in touch with us
I know where Dev is, sir
But it's difficult to bring him here
I'll convince him, sir
I feel it's my responsibility
I suppose you know why Dev quit?
5 years back when
a similar situation came up...
...we failed, Riya
History should not repeat itself!
Yes, sir
'Area 407'
'We are setting it up'
'Ready to test in 5 minutes'
What...?
Emotions, huh?
Should be, Mohan
Shouldn't come here
with mere knowledge
This Space Centre's history
began with sacrifices
I mean this...
...this is my baby!
- What's so funny?
- No emotions for this call, huh?
1 week since my call was answered
Will I reciprocate so easily?
Not like that
Quite often the scientist and
lover in you have a tug of war, eh?
You should see your face then
I mean that anger
Like a rocket ready for launch!
That's enough
What's the status?
Everything is fine
T&C Subsystem inspection is scheduled
Team from Bangalore has been deployed
Inspection isn't over?
- Who is doing it?
- Ground team
We'll get the report in few hours
Telemetry and command subsystem
not receiving any signal
'Status is negative, sir'
Urgently need an engineer
System isn't receiving any signal
No...no...we don't have time
Send an expert immediately
We need someone extraordinary
on board right now, immediately
What the hell is this, Mohan?
You know T&C Subsystem plays a crucial role
between ground control and spacecraft, eh?
How can that be messed?
Because of this, status, configuration,
balance parameters will be affected
How did you send it
without checking in the 1st place?
You overlooked it, Mohan
Dev, didn't I tell you
Bangalore team prepared it?
Everything will be alright
'Hardly any time left for the launch'
Everything will be alright
'Hardly any time left for the launch'
Vishal, what's the status?
Sir, this is not responding
Try again with final position
- Connect it, come on, quick
- Sure, sir
Sir, still not responding
Thank you
Hi...Riya
Came here to troubleshoot T&C Subsystem
You look very young
Shall I come back after 10 years?
I...I'm Mohan
Technical Department
T&C Subsystem not generating signal
No reception even after restart
Okay, let me check
Equipment or control unit?
1st I must check the system settings
- Follow me
- Yeah
We'll report about the status
of T&C Subsystem
Thank you
If door mat is in, it's 'pull'
If it's out, it's 'push'!
Basic interview question
What?
New intern, huh?
Dev, I'm sorry
This is Riya
Our new Systems Engineer
Come to inspect T&C Subsystem
Why is she here when unit
is near the launch pad?
Why test the software
to assemble hardware?
Any issue 1st system settings
should be checked
It's a simple interview question?!
- Where's the system?
- This way
Fresher, huh?
Can she do it?
She looks tense
First time, huh?
No, I've been tense
many times before!
Hey, what the-
Riya, do you need support staff?
Do you need help handling this?
No...no...I can do this myself
As of now I'm overwriting the manual
This isn't the time for experimenting
Everything will be fine
if I do the simulation test
What does 'fine' mean?
You should be giving your best here
I find it difficult
to focus if you're here
Please can you give me some space?
Dev, you go...go
Can't believe this!
We should check
T&C Subsystem now
- Shall we go?
- Sure
If it doesn't work now, international
Space Centres will defame us
Don't worry
I'm sure it will work
If a person is given the respect
he or she duly deserves...
...the task can be completed properly
That's common sense
Please don't misunderstand Dev
He's a gem and this is
his 1st satellite launch
Anyone in his position
will behave the same way
He also underwent
astronaut training in Russia
Don't mistake pride for arrogance
This is a fully redundant unit
So in 2000 b/s data rate-
You need any help?
No...no...I'm just checking
a few parameters
'Temperatures'
Frame synchronization
'16-bit error detection code'
Spacecraft identification
It's done!
Good, let's go
You go back
You come here
Okay
Satellite is really important in our life
Be it the weather forecast
Or functioning of TV and radio
Or GPS working perfectly
...we depend on these satellites
So if we have to progress
along with the world
- What do we need?
- Communication
Without communication...
...we won't know any information
from anywhere or anyone
Thanks to these satellites...
...conversation between 2 people
...messages and calls can transpire
If communication is not proper...
...sometimes messages won't
be replied nor calls answered
Students
What's the name of the satellite
sent now to orbit the moon?
- Viprayaan
- Good
But by orbiting the moon
what does Viprayaan do, teacher?
Viprayaan will study the availability
of water in moon
Why check in moon when we have
plenty of water here?
We do, but the question here
is not about water
It's about our nation's pride
Thinking we talk directly to one another
if Graham Bell hadn't invented the telephone
...will we have cell phones today?
Thinking we talk directly to one another
if Graham Bell hadn't invented the telephone
...will we have cell phones today?
Similarly if this moon mission
is carried out...
...we will lay the foundation
for many future inventions
Why go now for something
which will happen many years later?
Once this was a jungle, but now?
This Space Centre is here
Unless someone takes the 1st step
how will any journey begin?
Children, remember this
Even a journey of 1000 steps
begins with a single toddler step
Whatever happens, the responsibility to
provide the future generation their needs
is ours...yes or no?
Yes, sir
So, if Viprayaan satellite succeeds...
...we will be the 1st in the world to
discover the presence of water in moon
What if it fails?
Come here
Do you know the story of
kings, wars and soldiers?
Yes, I do
Soldiers who fight in wars
never think about defeat
They want to win at any cost
No other option
Same with Viprayaan
This satellite is also like a soldier
Never ask if it will fail
Think only of how it can succeed
So remember, kids
Failure is not an option
- What are we looking for?
- Water
- Where?
- Moon
Good
Wait...wait
Stand in a queue
- Shall we meet the director?
- Yeah
'Keep quiet, kids'
Follow the teacher
- Hey Paru
- My students are here
Rekha...I will be back
It's all right, madam
Hey, Dev
I am sorry
I'm feeling hungry
Shall we go out?
- Bunking with the teacher, huh?
- Of course!
Dad, actually-
Change of plans again?
My daughter eats healthy food
- Don't feed her junk food
- Sir
I have a home too
Okay, carry on
Thanks, sir
To your place again, huh?
'The Nectarous Night'
- Food's ready
- Do you call this food?
- Huh?
- Okay, give
- Dev, please
- No
- I'm hungry
- No
Kiss me and I'll give you
Give me the plate I'll comply
I didn't mean food, kiss first
Waiting!
Cheating! Like how a Math teacher
usurps a 'Games' period?
Kiss properly
Hey, hold this
- Hello?
- 'Dev'
- Mohan, what's the status?
- 'It's working'
'That new girl Riya solved it'
Okay, I'll be there
Hmm...kiss now
Is the teacher angry now?
Want to punish me?
Should I stand up on the bench?
If you make the teacher cry
you'll lose your eyesight!
When the satellite launch photo
is published in the papers tomorrow...
...1st to get emotional will be
...your teacher!
Anyone else can only follow!
Anyone else?
I have no one else
to care for me other than you
Tomorrow when we have
a baby of our own...
...I need to practice now!
Eat
Replay of my own TLC, huh?
You always win, I give in
You win and I'll celebrate your victory
"Hands of the clock"
"Why rush headlong?
Stop your tick-tock"
"O' time precious"
"Give us a chance please
to cherish more moments of peace"
"At a point in time
when hands clasped sublime"
"A journey divined
where eyes intertwined"
"A purely magical state
when breaths mingled in haste"
"Happy moments many
with colors of harmony"
"Each second and minute of every day"
"O' moment, don't tick away"
"Suffused in sweet flavor
as 2 hearts merge as 1 forever"
"Don't let go, listen and savor"
Hey! 1 second
- Okay
- Thanks
Sorry, made you wait
It's okay
Nothing wrong in waiting for miracles
Viprayaan is not only your dream
It is our dream
"I ponder in wide eyed wonder
if the moon in the sky has traces of water"
"I can't see now however"
"But tears of joy from the face
of this moon on earth's surface"
"I keep seeing always"
"My equal half she is
My whole world of bliss"
"When swinging in rhapsody
in many notes of melody"
"7 worlds and 6 phases of time"
"When those stars open their doors divine"
"When happiness abounds
When sweetness surrounds"
"Don't let the promise of this dream disperse
into emptiness for better or worse"
Hey Paru, why do you love me so much?
I thought of this very often
I couldn't come up with the right reason
A love for no reason
is a feeling beyond comparison
"O' moment, don't tick away"
"Suffused in sweet flavor
as 2 hearts merge as 1 forever"
"Don't let go, listen and savor"
'Thunder storm anvil is within
19 km of the flight path'
'Fly through a debris cloud for 10 minutes'
Dev, very little time
left for the launch
We can abort this mission now
I mean wind currents
are not in our favor
If anything goes wrong
it will be big shame
'Wind speed is 32 knots'
'Cloud gathering 1100 meters'
Sir, we are ready to launch Viprayaan
Dev...!
Don't worry
It won't go wrong
It's my baby
'T minus 10'
'9...8...7'
'6...5...4'
'3...2...1...'
'Zero...'
'We have a lift off'
'Namaste, madam'
Where is house 18B,
opposite Lord Ganesha temple?
What do you want?
Dev
- Oh! Dev sir, huh?
- Yes
That is his house
'Isn't it 10 o'clock now?'
'You'll find him in the school'
- School?
- Govt school
Go to the main road
Anyone there will direct you
Okay, thank you
'Atmospheric pressure is caused'
'...by the gravitational
attraction of the planet'
Note it down
Pure water boils at 100C
It will rain today
- Air pressure
- Low
Pressure is directly proportional to the-
Where is Dev sir?
- 6 A
- No, 6th B
- Where...that side?
- Yes
- Okay, thank you
- 'Welcome'
'When the sun heats the ground
and warm air rises...'
As the air rises, it cools down
Water vapour condenses to form clouds
So when the condensation point is reached
...large cumulonimbus clouds are formed
Hence heavy rainstorms occur
- This is called as
- Convectional rainfall
I need a favor
We are in a real difficult situation
Are you still working there?
No one takes up
a job there to leave it!
We are all on national duty
Even coming here in search of you
I am on national duty
- What's that?
- Mihira Sat
That satellite was sent long ago
- You are here for that?
- That isn't the problem
We are unable to control it
Mihira and IMS-1 are
on a collision course
It can cause a black-out
on world communication
God forbid if that happens...
...program of sending astronauts
into space will be affected, Dev
It's not my headache
Listen, if you come
it will be of great help
Riya, I'm no longer
considered fit for the job
I'm sorry
It was my mistake on that day
and I'm really sorry
- Don't rake up the past
- That's why I am here
I need yo-
I'm sorry
Your presence is very
very important for us, Dev
But not for me
Whatever happened has happened
Can't turn back the clock
What can I do after 5 years?
Listen, please
At least save whatever is
under your control
It is not related to you and me
or to those few in the Space Centre
This concerns our nation, Dev
Please
Okay, but I can't come
I'll email the commands
To understand them, get trained
and to execute them
...depends on the talent of
'your' Space Centre
Students have their exams tomorrow
So if you can please leave
Dev
There are 3 types of people
in the world
1st, who don't know
what to accomplish
2nd, they know what to accomplish
but give up when a problem arises
3rd, accomplish at any cost
You know a few weeks back...
...NASA traced Viprayaan's location?
You used to proudly say then
'it's my baby'!
That's why I passed on
this information to you
Hello...Mohan?
'Dev said he won't come'
He is willing to email the commands
'Dev has changed very much, Mohan'
'To such an extent'
...he refers to our Space Centre
as 'your' Space Centre!
'Okay, see you soon'
'We sincerely thank NASA'
'...for finding the lost Viprayaan'
'We are indebted to them'
'But Viprayaan by now
is as good as a dead object'
'Mohan, emergency in Viprayaan's
position in the lunar orbit'
'It's ADCS error'
Dev, we'll burst crackers
in our wedding too
Wedding is celebration
Not pollution!
You have absolutely no taste
Hmm...I know!
Then I won't marry you, get lost!
Today is the happiest day of my life
Viprayaan will collect data today
And in a short while transmit data
Finally you agreed to marry me
I will have a family of my own
Like a rocket kissing the sky
Paru, 1 second
From my office
Hello...?
Hey...be careful
- Like this
- Paru
I got some work to do
in my office, it's urgent
Hey Lakshmi, keep an eye
Dev, I'll come with you
- No need, Paru
- Dev, please
Let me just come with you in the car
Don't want to be away from you
even for a minute
Okay, get in
'Current coordinates of Viprayaan
are not retrievable'
Dev will be here in 10 minutes
Let's wait for Dev
Don't have that much time
Connect him over phone
Dev, nothing will go wrong
Don't be so tense
Hello, Dev is driving
He will be there
- Almost there
- Paru
- In 10 minutes
- Turn on the speaker
Riya, what's the problem?
Dev, it's an ADCS error
Viprayaan's coordinates are missing
In 300 seconds we are
going to lose everything
Tell me the pre execution
values of ADCS
Roll 8
Pitch 4
Yaw negative 10
Okay, change Roll to 10
- Pitch to 5
- Okay
And mean orbital velocity
to 0.8 km per second
Yeah
'Riya, execute'
It's...it's not responding
'Dev, orientation is changing
with your values completely'
'It will make Viprayaan
get closer to North pole'
'Moon's gravity is weak over there'
- We are going to lose everything
- Riya, calm down
Dev knows what he is saying
He may know what he is saying
but what will be the repercussion?
He really doesn't know
'Dev, are you there?'
'Only 200 seconds left'
'Tell some other option'
Change Roll to 15
Pitch to 10
And MO to 12 km per second
It's not working
Showing error
'Need to reconfigure
orbital inclination'
Riya, just enter the values I said
Change the maneuvering
prograde motion settings
Riya, just attempt it
Don't delay
Dev!!
Dev...Dev, are you still there?
Dev
What did Dev say?
- Riya...?
- He is not responding
- Paru?
- Dev
Paru, you will be fine
Nothing will happen to me
You...your dream
Viprayaan
- Nothing will happen to you
- Dev, don't let it go
- You'll be fine when I am here for you
- Don't let go
Paru...Paru!
Dev
Check this once
We didn't even get
Viprayaan's coordinates
- We lost it completely
- Not possible
There must be something
Last position
Last received data
Dev, you are very disturbed
I don't know how to tell you
You need to take a break, Dev
There was no response
to the values given by us
Damn!
ADCS, why were
the settings not changed?
Dev...?
Dev, look at me
Viprayaan is no more
It's dead
What the hell is this, sir?
Can't we bring it back?
Can you bring my daughter back again?
This is Paru's last wish
Whatever happened
because of you is enough
"Talktalk to me now"
"Speak up, my life, my love"
"Decide where to bend
Which turn to take and when"
"Destiny again due?
Is this another journey for you?"
"Look! Stories of yesterday
and the day before on display"
"Herefor a bright future; to show the way
lamps of tomorrow and day after in array"
"There or herewhich way ahead?
Where do these rose-petal feet tread?"
"Pulling towards the burden of a bond?"
"Or pushing towards the distance beyond?"
"Or on safe shores friendly and fond?"
"Towards shores beckoning a bond"
"Only on shores friendly and fond"
Do you remember Dev?
I'm not to blame
in that issue, grandma
I know
Eat please
Why did you think of that now?
I didn't trust Dev
when I should have
I have no faith
he'll come back now
Yeah?
Dev?
Can't believe my eyes
- Almost 5 years
- Yeah
So good to see you
I believe Viprayaan was found
True, it has been traced
but nothing can be done about it
Do you know Viprayaan has recorded data?
But bad luck
We couldn't retrieve that data
But that's old story
We are moving forward now
We are sending 4 astronauts into space
Our best Indian astronauts
trained in Russia
72 revolutions around the earth for 2 days
I want to meet the director
Yeah, sure
He'll definitely be
very happy to see you
Yes, of course
Excuse me
I'll call you back
- How are you?
- Same as you!
Still single?
No one else is my world
other than her, sir
She shares even my solitude
'In every student's smile
I can only see her face'
I am alone
But I am not lonely
Are you aware of the task
you have to do on priority basis now?
We have run out of time
We have a big problem
That's why I'm here
with a solution
Tell me
What is it?
Send me, sir
I'll fix Mihira, directly
Send you...where?
To space
I'll correct the code
manually using wired protocols
We don't have time
to listen to your jokes!
I'm not in the mood to joke
Do you think this is
taking a P.T class in school?
- That's impossible, Dev
- In that case I'm sorry
I can't train someone
in this short a time
Dev, be reasonable
How is this possible?
At least this time
try to be a team member
Don't behave like a dictator!
Do you realize how serious this is?
I do, that's why I'm asking you
You have no other option
Sir, you know
I'm a trained astronaut
I can do this
Dev, listen to me once
Stop making a fool out of yourself
People respected you a lot here
Don't wipe that out
There's no bigger disgrace than
losing without trying, Mohan
Trust me on this
We have no other option
Don't experiment on it
No instructions on
the command module manual
Trust me, Karan, it works
Dev, they are the astronauts
who got trained in Russia
Do you know Riya also
got trained along with them
4 years of training
Must be really hard, right?
Not really
We are born for this
We both shared this ambition
from our childhood
It isn't our dream
to travel into space
It's our life
And we are meant to do this together
- Nice
- And you are...?
'He is Dev'
He needs no introduction
He has successfully coded
so many satellites
You inspire me, Dev
'He's Sanjay
Also trained from Russia'
He's here to help you
with Mihira if necessary
Oh great!
We are in good hands then
This space ship is called 'Jatayu'
Its parts have been
manufactured in India
Our country's 1st indigenous space flight
- Good to know
- Gentlemen
You must be tired after your travel
You guys need rest
Mohan, take care of them
Come on
Let's go
See you later, Dev
Hello, sir
- Please give me few minutes, sir
- Okay
We've been trained for 4 years
with utmost dedication
This mission for those twins-
It's an emotional attachment
No one will be willing to give
their space to you or support you
'Dev'
- What?
- As long as I support you
...didn't I tell you
no one can hinder your dream?
Proud of you, my boy
I feel like I am hugging
the moon close to my heart
Love you
What is this?
Forever obsessed with the moon!
Why are you so mad
about the moon?
Do you know the moon's speciality?
It can't delete darkness
With its tiny glow it can change
even darkness into a thing of beauty
Like your smile
is a joy forever
That's why I love the moon
as much as I love you
And I love you
as much as I love the moon
Hearing you say this
...I don't want to be away
from you even for a minute
Okay, I'll help Dev
How much longer with that beard?
Astronauts can't sport that thick a beard
I know everything
You deserve to be an astronaut
'Silence!'
'4 of our astronauts will be carried
into space by this space ship Jatayu'
'It is named after a legendary bird'
'...which showed the way
for a goal to be achieved'
'The astronauts travelling in this
will revolve the earth 72 times'
'So far no country in the world has
achieved this goal in such a low budget'
In life, you know what is
the height of disappointment?
'Not spending time with
our children when they are kids'
Son or daughter?
Daughter
4 years since I saw her
I started my training
right after her 1st birthday
She hadn't even learnt
to call me 'dad'
You must have missed her a lot, right?
From holding her hands to walk
to hearing her 1st baby-talk
I missed everything
Children grow up so fast, Dev
Don't know why
they are in such a hurry
Not realizing when we are in that phase
and realizing its child-like nature later
That's childhood
Not possible to add
an extra chair for you
1 of the 4 astronauts
should drop out for you to go
Maximum speed of
a space flight is 7000 kmph
If we exceed that we'll face major problems
and airlock life status will turn to red
'Excuse me, Mohan'
What about-
Dev, explain trajectory diversion also
I'll do it later
Mohan, continue
Dev, we are running out of time
When is 'later'?
Adithya, I got some other work
Let's do it later
Who are all going?
- 4 astronauts
- I didn't ask how many
I asked you the names
I don't know
Dev
We need to debug
velocity controller of Mihira
We can schedule that later
Karan
Aadhi?
Hasn't the coding session
with Dev been scheduled?
What are you doing here?
He postponed it
He is also reviewing the flight controls
I don't know what's happening
'This is from the director
of Indian Space Centre'
'To all other Space Centres' directors'
'Listen to me, although we've planned
our manned mission after 40 days'
'...we are sending our astronauts
in the next 10 days to rectify the damage'
'Mr Chandrakanth
I want you to understand this'
'IMS-1 satellite and Mihira satellite
are in collision course'
'This debris will collide into
the satellites of other countries'
'Causing a chain reaction'
'This will lead to worldwide
communication black-out '
'And your country will be
responsible for that'
'If this is bound to happen...'
'...then we have to take
required measures'
'Your 1 mistake can put
all the other countries in trouble'
'And we can't let this happen'
Yes, sir
Dev is stubborn
He refuses to part with the code to Adithya
We have just 2 days
for our flight launch
Sir, Dev is fit to be an astronaut
Upon detailed review
I don't see any complications
He has already been trained once
He was certified as one of the best, sir
Yes, sir
I think he can handle it
I know the complications
of Mihira satellite
Only Dev can fix that
If Dev has to be sent instead of me
...I'm willing to stay back
2 flight controllers are
compulsory in command module
Karan and you should be there
Dev doesn't know flight controlling
And Riya must be there for fixing Mihira
Sir, on the oxygen purge system
Mohan, turn on the simulation test
Okay
Excuse me
4 years back
this plan was designed
While we shed blood
and sweat for our country...
...how can you barge in all of a sudden?
Okay, I agree
You are a very successful man
But mental condition is also
important for an astronaut
Patience, decision making,
calmness, composure
I don't think you have any of these
He couldn't even control his car
A life was lost
If such a man is taken on-
Karan, stop it
I need you to answer this, Mohan
The 4 of us struggled for
the same dream for 4 years
How can you add someone
not even trained now?
- Adithya, listen to me
- Negotiation?
This isn't for you and me
Entire nation will be affected you know?
- Exactly
- What 'exactly'?
Mihira's knowledge is transferred to you
Now do that to me
I will fix it
That's not possible
When you can travel
in such a short time
...why can't knowledge
be transferred to me?
After sharing space
in our mother's womb...
...this space mission is
our combined dream
I am not talking about goal
but about rights
Nurturing love for something for few years
Dreaming about it
day and night
Finally losing it because of
someone else's fault
- Do you know how it feels?
- Yes
I know the sharp stab of that pain
more than you or everyone here
'This is not just about
communication satellite alone'
If I tell you straight
you can't understand
It's about our country
You won't understand
I can't transfer knowledge
of Mihira to you
'We have no other option'
You may think I'm selfish
or foolish or anything else
But I must go
If the tarnished pride
of our space centre
...should raise its head again
I have to go
I understood
- Do as you wish
- Adhi!

Sir, we have a deviation
They are not on the expected path
Jatayu 1, it shows stage 4 shut down
Sanjay, your path is not correct
'Discrepancy seen in the travel codes'
Copy...checking
Listen
Your space module has deviated
'...by 18 from the pre programmed path'
'Check a new course
Trajectory path once'
'Initiating trajectory check'
Oh no! They are not on a circular orbit
- They are in elliptical orbit
- What?
- Then correct the path at once
- Insufficient time
Path correction will take
minimum 40 minutes
1st we have to fix Mihira
- Karan, check Mihira's path
- Yeah
We will be closest to Mihira
in the next 15 minutes
After reaching we have
2 minutes 50 seconds of sync travelling
After that, the distance between
the 2 orbits will keep increasing and-
Then Mihira will drift farther from us
Your orbit at the moment
is not on its circular path
It is on an elliptical path
Only for 2 minutes 50 seconds
you will be closest to Mihira
'Afterwards the distance between
Mihira's orbit and your orbit
'...will keep increasing'
Can't we get closer
after half rotation?
Karan, now Mihira is heading towards
our communication satellite IMS-1
...at a speed of 2000 kmph
'If not fixed immediately...'
'...in 20 minutes
the 2 satellites will collide'
Karan, this is not the time to worry
Dev, what do you suggest?
Let's do this
'What does that mean?'
'How can we fix it
in 2 minutes 50 seconds'
- We are approaching Mihira
- 'Copy'
Mihira is 40 to our left
We are closing in 1 minute
'Copy that'
'Opening hatch to Service modules'
'Copy'
'Preparing for extravehicular activity'
Riya, outside temperature is fluctuating
from -200C to -150C
- Careful
- 'Copy'

Good
Now you're at the closest point
'Copy'
'- Opening the hatch

'Riya, you have only 10 seconds'
'We are deviating
Riya, quick'
'I have to change the slot
That's what I am trying'
'Jatayu 1 to Ground control'
'We failed to upgrade Mihira'
- Dev
- Riya, calm down
It's okay
Don't delve on what you could not do
Think only about what is doable
Slot didn't work
which I inserted now
I had to insert
into another slot but-
Power panel was behind the satellite
In another 12 minutes
Mihira will enter into IMS-1 orbit
And within 2 minutes 20 seconds
collision is unavoidable
You got a call from
Chinese Space Director
'This is from the Chinese Space Centre'
'We saw a failure in your attempt'
'We have to initiate
the missile launch'
We still have another chance
We are going to make the 2nd attempt!
'It's impossible!'
'You cannot do it in less than 2 minutes'
I'm telling you again
India is not going to lose this
Sanjay
- Increase speed towards Mihira
- Okay
What is he doing?
'Riya, how long will it take to reach?'
'4 minutes 24 seconds'
'What is the time left
to maintain path's same distance?'
'Jatayu speed is very high'
'So this time
just 1 minute 45 seconds'
'Means 65 seconds
less than our last attempt'
I'm really sorry
Next maneuvering
...I won't miss it
Not you
We...!
'Karan, I'll change
the settings and reboot'
You execute after the link-up
Why are you telling me?
'Dev...?'
What the hell!
'Dev, careful'
- Use thrusters
- Copy
- You check the deviation
- Yes
First it has to stabilize
After that maneuver
Take me as the reference point
- Adjust your maneuvering
- Copy
'1 minute 36 seconds'
'Copy'
Dev, don't panic
'You are in control'
'Just focus'
'Dev, careful'
My God!
Dev, watch it!
Take the support of the edges
'I need something to hold on'
'Dev!'
'That's it!'
Now hold and move
'I'm detaching the cable'
Careful
What is he doing?
Why is he detaching the cable?
He needs to go to
the back of the satellite
Distance is more
That's why

'You are bound to receive an impact'
Dev, oh my!
'Careful, Dev'
'Dev, your cable has got detached'
'Hold me immediately'
Yes, I am coming
'Dev, focus'
'Come tangentially to me'
'Take my coordinate and come'
'Come as accurately as you can'
- Yeah, I am coming
- 'Dev, just listen to me'
'- Can you see my visual?
- Yes, I can see you'
'Riya, I'm unable to control it'
'You are just 10 meters away'
I am trying
You are drifting
'Take the help of booster, Dev'
'Okay'
'Dev, you are just 10 meters away'
'Dev, almost there'
'Holding'
'Well done, Riya'
'Good job, Dev'
Jatayu 1 to Ground control
Dev and Riya have reached
the command module safely
Setting on course
with trajectory correction
'Copy
We are proud of you'
'Correcting the trajectory path
I'll execute the mission as planned'
'Yeah'
'Even our 2 day mission
in space should be successful'
'I am wondering
when I'll see my daughter'
'You'll see her soon'
'Her name is Kinnera, right?'
'She must be waiting eagerly to see you'
Coffee?
No, it's all right
- Sir?
- Okay
'Dev, you called me?'
- These are Viprayaan files?
- Yes
We must fix Viprayaan
and retrieve its data
- How can we do it?
- I have a plan
I need your help
Viprayaan was 5 years ago
Why rake it up?
Listen, Mohan
I have to do this
If I have your support
I can do a good job
And you owe me this!
You'll do it even if I don't support you
Power supply will be less in
a space flight, what will you do?
Why are the program alarms beeping?
Mohan?
Er...could be a power issue
Please check once
Jatayu 1, we notice a power issue
'Report status'
'Copy'
'Low power warning'
'Copy'
How is it possible?
Riya, check
'Whatever is happening is not good'
'Flight guidance'
'Alarms keep beeping'
Abort further stay and return
- Copy
- Sir
We need power to return
and it is dangerously low
Sir, he is correct
ISS is nearby to
dock for power back up
'It's impossible'
'ISS is moving at
a speed of 28100 kmph'
'We are only at 7000 kmph speed'
'We can't catch that speed
to dock from behind'
'If we try to dock from front
we'll be on a collision course'
Sir, we can do it by
vertical trajectory shift mechanism
- Vertical trajectory shift?
- Yeah
Yes, let's do it vertically
Taking a 90 degrees rotation...
...dock when the 2 positions sync
- Yeah
- It's too dangerous
Is it more dangerous
than dying here without power?
Let's do it
Okay, fix it
- Connect them to ISS
- Okay, sir
'Jatayu, this is Ground control
Permission granted
'- You may connect to ISS
- Copy'
'Do or die situation, Sanjay'
'Even if dock position changes by 1
we'll be stuck in space'
'- Focus, we are not dying in space'
- I am on it'
We are docked
No noticeable oscillations
'Everything smooth'
Inform me after back up
Why are the meter readings not changing?
We still have a problem
Actually we have no problem
- What?
- Yes
We never had a problem
We are going there!
Mohan?
You knew about this earlier, right?
Why are you looking at me?
No way, Sanjay
I haven't been trained for this
Even I don't think this is right, Dev
Is this a share auto to ask
the driver to stop wherever you fancy?
We are not ready for this
Dev, your proposal will
not be honored by Space Centre
- This is very dangerous
- Dev, listen
Flight controllers follow an important rule
If you don't know what to do
don't do it, period!
You have to convince him
Dev, your plan won't work
I will tell you what the hell
we are doing when it happens
- Riya, pass the water packet
- What?
Riya, give me the water packet
Lunar trajectory has steps
to be performed manually
1st step is to move
out of the earth's orbit
And next few steps
'To adjust to the moon's path'
And the final 2 steps
To enter the lunar orbit
Whatever we consider as rocket science
is truly rocket science indeed
But we studied and absorbed facts
only to face challenges
Not to take the easy way out and escape
If we don't fix Viprayaan now...
...it will be ruined soon
trapped in moon's gravity
'This is our one and only opportunity'
Come what may
I intend fixing Viprayaan
I'll return to earth
only after collecting its data
In this matter
...nobody can bloody stop me
Thank you, sir
I really appreciate
your support from ISS
- Yes, Kunal?
- Sir
- Back up over?
- Sir, Dev wants to go into moon's orbit
Tell him we'll plan next year
Sir, actually we never had a power issue
'It's a fake program
He has other intentions'
Does he think this is a fairy tale?
'Our only goal now is Viprayaan satellite'
'We are retrieving it at any cost'
Did he say Viprayaan?
Is he mad or what?
I should have realized this earlier
Turn on the speaker
Dev, this is the 1st and last warning!
Abort the mission and return immediately
Why are you being childish?
We are not equipped for this
We need a lot more resources
to accomplish your plan
'All of us will be in trouble'
Nobody knows that route and procedure
Riya, knowing the problem
is solving it 90%
'Balance only 10% is the execution'
Viprayaan is our nation's pride
Don't we have concern over a satellite
sent from our Telugu motherland?
How can we abandon it
in that quiet and dark space?
Dev, Viprayaan is dead
It is no longer important
'It is enough if we understand
our limits and follow instructions'
'That is our nation's pride'
Sir, Viprayaan is not a dead object
'Our excellence lies
in pushing our limits'
If you were part of
an administrative team
...and writing only parts of a rocket
would you be Mission Control director?
Sir, if I really had an option...
I won't be taking this step
Being detached
and disinterested is...
...not an option sir
- Escapism!
- Dev
Stop arguing and return at once
'If we don't retrieve Viprayaan now...'
...we will never be able to do so
If we can't fix, even after
our neighboring country finds it...
...we will be condemned
in the history of future generations
We are the best team with
the best flight in ground crew
If we are determined
we can make this happen
'Sanjay, abort the mission and return'
Viprayaan gave Indian Space Centre
an identity in the world
'Now that's at stake'
Sanjay, abort the mission
'That's my final order'
There won't be any further
discussions on this
If you support me in this issue, we can
restore the pride of our Space Centre
'Dev, you are out of your mind'
We are not plants
to stay stationary
'We are astronauts'
If we lose face
in world's eyes...
...how can we proclaim our victory?
Then how will we hold our head high?
Instead of feeling proud
like every Indian looking at our flag...
I don't like to bow my head in shame
We believed in ourselves and
we ascended so far into space
But why shouldn't we take
another step further?
Sir
I don't have a strong reason
to disapprove of this
Oh God!
We are wasting so much of our time
'There is no route
to take us to Viprayaan'
We need to focus only on
what is under our control
'Dev, listen, so far we have never sent
any human beyond our earth's orbit'
We don't even know whether we can
compute a lunar injection maneuver
'We have to match the orbit speed
of Viprayaan accurately'
'Supposing it is matched
when nearing Viprayaan...'
'...you can be caught in the moon's
gravitational force and never return'
Highly dangerous
Not just 1 or 2
You'll face countless problems
Sir, you have pointed out
all the problems
We studied and achieved so much
We have come this far
Can't we solve that
by brainstorming for an hour?
Sir, NASA has 36% Indian scientists
'Success rate amongst them is 90%'
Can't we add the 10% required effort?
We don't even know if this can
be done by boosters' guidance or not
Convert to auto pilot
and bring them back
Okay, sir
For the sake of personal pride
...you're sacrificing the integrity
of our Space Centre
Sir, Dev has executed some program
I'm unable to override
'Hey idiot! If any problem crops up,
you'll be caught in the moon's orbit'
You can't come out
In that case, we'll be
the 1st citizens on the moon!
Dev, this is not possible
Too many risks involved
Risk?
There isn't even a calculated risk, Riya
Exactly...life is beyond calculations
After coming here, I understood
how much we don't know
'How did we live this long
without knowing anything!'
If we die, it's our fate
We have to accept it
If anything happens to us, there won't be
delay in the next step, progress is assured
'We have to take back
Viprayaan's data'
Riya
There are 3 types
of people in this world
'1st type don't know
what to accomplish'
2nd type want to do
something somehow
'3rd, accomplish at any cost'
Between aspiration and achievement...
...effort is the only existing distance
After having come this far
...is it correct to step back?
Not correct, Dev
I can't believe myself
I feel I should support you in this
What? Don't you envisage
any problem in this?
Only problem I can anticipate is...
...we have to spend
extra 2 days in space!
Food may or may not be sufficient
What mad plan is this, huh?
Even in extreme emergency levels
we ensure minimum safety measure
You want to go to the moon
without minimum planning?
We will merge with darkness
One needs darkness to
see some bright spots!
If we plan, only the process gets done
Not miracles
Listen, Dev
If we go back to earth now
we will be hailed as heroes
We go by your plan
even our bodies won't be found!
Smallest mistake, we are out!
You may not have anyone, Dev
But we have families waiting for us
Suppose we die?
'Allow visitors'
Daddy
Hi daddy
Mummy, look
Nana
'Daddy'
Kinnera...hey!
How are you, nana?
My daughter...Kinnera
Listen, daddy
They are saying
you won't come home on Monday
Tell me, nana
Remember, the other day when you
refused to eat, what did I promise you?
The moon!
If I have to get the moon for you
shouldn't I go there?
Daddy is going up to the moon
They don't know its value, dear
They'll take it if they know
But if you go near the moon...
...this uncle says
you may fall down
So he says you may not come back
What do you think, Kinnu?
My nana is a super hero!
He'll bring me the moon definitely
True, uncle
I love my daddy more than this world
After bringing the moon back for me
...he'll comb my hair daily for me
He'll pack my lunch box for me
He'll drop me at school
He'll read many stories
to me at bedtime
Mummy told me
Right, daddy?
Won't you be back?
Yes, Kinnu
Whatever happens, whatever people
may say, daddy will go near the moon
I'll complete the mission
and return in 4 days
After I get back home...
...I'll make you and
the entire nation proud
I promise you, Kinnu
Daddy is a super hero
That means, tonight
I'll also see you from here
'By the side of the moon'
I'll see you too
from up here, moppet
Take care, daddy
Bye bye
I love you
Bye, Kinnu
I love you
Just like your plan
my tears don't hold back either
1st time, my daughter
has wished for something
Moon!
For 1 daughter
this is the 1st request
For another daughter
'...this was her last request!'
Slogged day and night
'Took many tough decisions'
Solved many problems
Enough of applauding other countries
'Now it's our turn'
For this mission to succeed
Follow my orders
'If anything goes wrong...'
Whatever issues arise
...I'll take up the entire responsibility
Okay, all flight controllers
Listen now
In Indian history
We will achieve something
for the first time
We are reaching the moon
Dev, from now on consult me
before taking any decision
And override automatic control
'Yes, sir'
Today is the day
We will be heading towards the moon
at a speed of 7000 kmph today
And the name of our mission
Mission Kinnera
"Journey through space to transcend
Mind struggles within unaware of the end"
"Journey through space to transcend
Mind tussles within unaware of the end"
"In the vast space ahead endless
In the heart an unsettled distress"
"Searching for an unknown bond
A journey into an empty sea and beyond"
"A journey into an empty sea and the unknown"
"Journey through space to transcend"
"Journey through space to ascend"
"Journey through space to spearhead"
"Journey through space to forge ahead"
"Eternal sky clashing for generations
with man's efforts and expectations"
"At the tip of the sky's finger
questions as star-lit festoons glitter"
"The glow on the moon mocks with a smile
for moon being called 'cool' all this while"
"Why this warfare against space?"
"When did this debt of gratitude surface?"
"Unaware of this secret
our heartbeat won't rest"
"Journey through space to transcend
Mind struggles within unaware of the end"
"Mind tussles within unaware of the end"
"Journey through space to ascend"
"Journey through space to spearhead"
They call this 'food', huh?
Dev, I'm really sorry
You faced so much loss
in your life because of me
I feel scared and worried at the same time
Why rake up the past now?
If you are wrong in ignoring
my commands when you are tense
...then I am to be blamed too
for allowing Paru to come with me
We should not be thinking of that now
I need your support on this
We won't get a chance to set back
the clock and set things right
We have that golden chance
for Viprayaan
Only opportunity to rectify
both our mistakes
I need you by my side
If you support me, we can
achieve our goal together
It's our baby
After this burn
they must take a sleep break
Guys, you need some sleep
Sleep?
I don't have that kind of luxury
'I won't sleep'
'Till this mission is accomplished
I just cannot sleep'
Right from childhood he's like this
He won't sleep
till he ticks his wish list!
His stubborn nature
sticks to him even in space!
Tell them we are not losing them
They must catch up on some sleep
Hey! Good to see you
Want to talk to Karan?
I'm so proud he has gone that far
How much longer should the engines burn?
Till they reach moon's gravity
Around 7 hours 40 minutes?
7 hours 40-
Any of you need a break right now?
If they don't sleep
we won't sleep either
Viprayaan's speed
around the moon is 805 kmph
'To reach Viprayaan'
'...we must travel in the closest orbit
with a matching velocity'
We get a 3 minute consistency
at the spot where both orbits match
We should maneuver in that time frame
and retrieve data from Viprayaan
What are the challenges?
We must figure out
the speed match point
If mismatched we will
have to rotate once more
Besides power and time issues
...any disturbance in extra rotation
...we will be pulled into
the moon's gravity
So theoretically, Viprayaan moves
only at 778 feet per second
'And according to your calculation'
...if we use 305 seconds
specific impulse with 5 kg thrusters
1016 kg propellant should be given
Yes
If we have to reach Viprayaan
at that specified time
...we must travel at a speed of 9000 kmph
9000 kmph?
Impossible
Jatayu 1 has not been designed for that
And theoretically
we lose control over the flight
Karan, if we don't go at that speed
we will miss Viprayaan
If our mission should succeed
we need 2 mid-course corrections
1st is the exact spot
the velocities match
And the specific time to initiate it
And to get that exact time
we should travel at the speed of...
9000 kmph
'7500'
'7700'
'7900'
'8000'
'8200'
'8400'
'8500'
'8600'
'8700'
'8800'
'8900'
'9000!'
'Congratulations!'
'Jatayu is moving at 9000 kmph'
'Ground control'
'Ground control, we have a problem'
- What happened?
- Sanjay, not getting Jatayu's visuals
'We have a Bus B under volt'
What is the airlock status?
Red indicated on the port panels
We are checking
I need the report a.s.a.p, send it
Is it main Bus B?
Yes
'Computers are restarting'
I'll reconfigure the terminal
- What happened?
- Service module is impacted
Open the log files
of service modules
Sir, we have a serious problem
Service module hatch has opened
'Line up the visitors'
What's the data telling you now?
Power units' readings not showing, sir
- Check manually
- Sir
They have only 60 hours
of power back up, sir
Listen
You will take 25 minutes
to go up to Viprayaan
Then you need 72 hours
to travel back to earth
'Understand? You have
only 60 hours of power supply'
'Service modules are all burnt'
'Your exit is closed'
'If the hatch is opened
command module will blast'
'Attempt a sling shot from lunar orbit
Return to earth before oxygen depletes'
Dev...?
We are very close to Viprayaan
We almost reached it
Dev...Dev, we tried
We are all very proud of you
Please return immediately
'Our exit option is closed'
'Prepare to bring them back'
Dev, I'm sorry
I'm switching on to auto pilot
There's a way to check
if they can go out or not
Must check if service module
or outer chamber is burnt
Just give me a minute
Karan, open temperature
and pressure panels
Values are almost steady
Fluctuating near 30 range
Good, so it means the chamber connecting
the service module isn't burnt, it's safe
It can serve as your exit
Adhi, it is an analog system
What if the indicator gets stuck?
Okay, open service module log once
'Likewise turn on
the power input to BUS B'
'Any changes in
the log file readings?'
No
'Increase input voltage
Same power to BUS C'
- Shows the same 30
- Fantastic!
Chamber connecting service module and
command module isn't burnt, it is safe
'They can exit from there'
'Adithya, in case
your procedure is wrong'
'...we will lose all of them'
'Sir, trust me, it works'
I trust you guys
Other than main application
turn off rest of the power
'Ground control'
'Main applications power restored'
'When I was a kid I never ate
unless I saw the moon'
'But now when I'm nearing the moon
this food just isn't enough!'
'We are entering
the lunar sphere of influence'
'Congratulations!'
'We are now under
moon's gravitational pull'
Copy
Dev, keep this in mind
'If you decide on a slingshot
maintain current orbital distance'
Viprayaan is now at 806 kmph
'Your flight speed is low now'
That means you will have only 8 minutes
If you take longer...
...we cannot bring you back!
You are on suicidal
'Copy, sir'
'We are almost there'
Karan
This plan has to work
come what may
You have oxygen supply
only for 7 and 1/2 minutes
Don't wait for me, as soon as
you receive the data attempt a slingshot
'Waiting for EVA permission for Dev'
Dev, you are in
Director has permitted extra
vehicular activity to capture Viprayaan
'Okay...we are good to go'
Okay
Dev...?
Go safely
Not 'Go safely'
Say, 'Come back safe'
When we travel under the moon's shadow
'...it is said the stars shine 10 times
more beautiful than seen from our earth'
Maybe it will look more beautiful
than Tilak's 'The Nectarous Night'!
Waiting eagerly to see it
- Check your signal frequently, Dev
- 'Yes, Sanjay, copy'
Good luck, Dev
I am checking the signals
You are very close to the moon
We are working on it, Mohan
Just hold on
Copy
'When we go behind the moon,
you will lose signal for few seconds'
Copy
'60 seconds'
'You will hear what we speak
only after 60 seconds'
Copy
Remember we are not
going to lose you guys
'We have moved farther from Viprayaan'
What...?
I don't think so
System shows it
Are we maintaining that distance?
Dev, control your breath
You are tethered
Cable is stuck
Not enough to reach Viprayaan
'This is the maximum limit'
No, Sanjay
Maneuver it closer
You can't get closer than this, Dev
Then how will Dev reach Viprayaan?
Cable is attached to him
This plan isn't feasible
- I must go for plan B
- 'What other plan?'
What?
We have a serious situation
Dev has detached the cable
and attempted the slingshot
'You can't get closer than this, Dev'
'Then how will Dev reach Viprayaan?'
'Cable is attached to him'
'This plan isn't feasible'
'- I must go for plan B
- What other plan?'
What other plan?
Don't know, sir
'Dev, do you copy?'
I repeat, Dev, do you copy?
Give me your position, Dev
'Can you see us?'
'Dev, do you copy?'
'Repeat, do you copy?'
'We lost your position, Dev'
Give me your position
Dev, respond
Dev, report
'Give me your position, Dev'
'Can you see us?'
'Dev, do you copy?'
'I repeat, Dev, do you copy?'
'We have lost your visual'
'Your suit is getting depressurized'
'We have only 4 minutes for slingshot'
'Do you copy?'
I am on mark
We got to go...go...go
Come on
I have just reached Viprayaan
Riya, antenna orientation has to be set
Dev, we have 3 minutes and 40 seconds
After that we need to get
the hell out of here
Copy that
Riya, do you copy?
- Opening the power panel door
- 'Copy'
When you read system signals, you can
view Viprayaan's data, confirm it
Not receiving data
'IMU is up'
Copy that
- Uplink telemetry to axiom
- 'Copy'
Is it being processed?
Data reception confirmed
Yes, we did it!
'Data transmission has stopped'
What...?
Not getting data?
'It is negative
Not receiving signals'
Dev, we have 2 minutes
30 seconds to get out of there
Quick!
'Data is loading'
Dev, your oxygen level
is very, very low
'Why are you using back up power
from jet propulsion?'
'Oxygen in your suit will deplete
in a second, don't do it, Dev'
'Data loading interrupted, Dev'
'It is working
Receiving data'
'Come back, Dev'
What is the status?
'20%'
'Dev, you come back'
Dev...?
Dev, data is getting transmitted
You have to come
'60%'
'70%'
Tell me when data is 100% transferred
'Dev, your oxygen level
is dangerously low'
'90%...'
'Dev, come back'
'100%'
Dev, come back
We have incoming data
We have incoming data!
'Give me your position'
'Report, Dev'
Control your breathing
Dev, do you copy?
Turn on your light
Please, Dev
Yes...yes, I copy
'Turn on your light'
I will
Turned it on
Can you see it?
'No, still no visual'
I am waving the torch
Confirm if you can see
Confirm the visual
Dev, what happened?
Where are you?
Confirm visual
Negative, no visual
'Dev, your suit has
only 5% oxygen'
Dev, you are inaudible
'You're inhaling CO2 now'
'Control your breathing'
Dev is drifting away
Communication is totally cut
Dev...please
Dev, please
Sanjay, do you copy?
Negative, there is no confirmation
- They are coming back, sir
- Okay
- Go ahead with retrofire
- Yes, sir
Retro booster 1
Fired
Autopilot is on
We are up for the slingshot
Dev hasn't come
We have to stop
- We have to stop
- Ground control, we lost Dev
I repeat we lost Dev
Stop slingshot
If it takes them 1 minute to receive
our message, same for us too
Total 2 minutes
We can't stop this
Entire control is from the ground
'Retro booster 2'
Retro booster 3
Fired
All fired
'Ground control'
'We lost Dev
I repeat we lost Dev'
'Stop slingshot'
'I repeat we lost Dev'
'Stop slingshot'
Whaaat...?
Dev hasn't come back?
Sir, we can't do anything now
'After retrofire
if we override manually'
'...Jatayu will go out of control!'
For having fixed Viprayaan...
...Dev will feel very proud
Yeah
Sanjay
Do you see the chamber's temperature
and pressure values are changing?
Dev
'De-pressure the suit'
'Karan, check the oxygen values'
'Hurry up!'
'Riya, fill the oxygen tank'
'We are losing Dev, quick!'
'Riya, I'm talking to you'
'Oxygen, quick'
'Dev'
'We are not losing you'
Dev
Dev...?
Dev
'Dev, you did it'
'You did it!'
'Ground control, we have Dev'
'I repeat we have Dev'
'Ground control, we have Dev'
'I repeat we have Dev'
We have him
We have him!
Everybody on board
Mission Kinnera accomplished!
Okay...okay, guys
Congratulations to you all!
You guys are awesome
Now relax
Relax...relax
'Ladies and gentlemen'
'An enormous lava tube has been found
in the Marius Hill region of the moon'
'It could offer a readymade shielded site'
'Within which
human structures can be built'
'We concluded this could've happened due to
a blow-out from a volcano in the moon'
'In case this hypothesis
is proved to be true...'
'...then definitely'
'...there will be water molecules on moon'
'And as a result'
'...human inhabitation
is likely over there!'
'Space centres have chosen Mars
to be the centre for research'
'To conduct tests on Mars...'
'...journey will take 300 days!'
'But if it is moon...'
'...we can go in just 3 days!'
'That will be the next mission
of Indian space centre'
'In another 3 years...'
'...India's mission to send people
to the moon will be accomplished'
'So, friends...'
'...Viprayaan is undoubtedly a wonder'
'And a pride of India!'
- Nana!
- Kinnu
- Daddy, did you bring me the moon?
- Couldn't bring it
If you study well
you can go there one day
Thanks, bro
You made it happen
What does it matter
you or me?
We are proud of you both
In the next mission
try to send both of us
Okay, we'll see
"Mother earth! We flew into space
with courage and conviction in place"
"Mother, we descended safe
in your warm embrace"
"If you can't believe me so easily
ask that silver moon above you see"
"If she witnessed our Mission Kinnera
ask her to endorse; it isn't a chimera"
subtitled by rekhs
assisted by gowri, harini, krish&venky
A.P.International, Chennai
"Though we beckoned the moon above
she was unwilling to leave her abode"
"Fine, we decided we'll meet her
in the infinite space yonder"
"We went on a royal mission to space"
"Garlanded by lightning flashes"
"The eternal sky in wonderment
rejoiced with joyful enjoyment"
"Will the distance never decrease
between borderless skies & boundless seas?"
"Did this thought-wave follow
in our heart and mind to ebb and flow?"
"Won't it be a bridge to space
to bridge the gap always?"
"If you travel to the world's end
with unshakeable faith as your friend"
"Clear as crystal you can see
Your dream come true in reality"
- Bride hunting again, huh?
- Yeah, as usual!
- What happened now?
- It's Mihira satellite
- It was fine, what now?
- Don't know
Technical or battery issue
- When did you get to know?
- 20 minutes
In this crucial time, imagine!
- Is sir aware of this?
- He'll be here at any moment
I've initiated Mihira satellite
battery usage, 60 seconds to go
- If it fails what is the situation?
- This is an old satellite, Mohan
Already NASA Deep Space
network has a back up
So telecommunication
not being affected
- Our worry is considerably lessened
- True
If zero emotional attachment
no need to worry at all!
60 seconds over
Only old coordinates showing up
Why isn't it showing the position?
Very important to know
the satellite's location
'Anand, try this'
Get information from
the nearby satellites
With the help of their path trackers
trace Mihira satellite's current position
Okay, sir
'The entire online navigation
and guidance system has failed'
'Redundant systems are
not responding either'
This is the most prestigious project
with Russian coordination
'Manned mission'
Matter of immense pride
1st time Indians are being sent to space
4 astronauts from India
If we don't bring Mihira under our control
this project can turn into a disaster
We can't let that happen
Sir, we need an expert
to set our telemetry settings
Connect our astronauts undergoing
training in Russia on a video call
Quick...!
'Convoy, this is Control'
'Proceed with Crew Egress, over'
'Checking configuration'
Karan, you guys have a call
from Indian Space Centre
'Copy'
- Hi
- 'Hello, sir'
- Adithya or Karan?
- It's Adithya
Karan has gone for simulation test
and Sanjay will also join us
We have Riya
Sir, even we got to know only now
We are all really shocked!
We don't have enough time
You must return to India at once
But Adithya and Karan's
simulation test is in 2 days
'1st you have to come, Riya
We can bring them back later'
We are expecting you
back here tomorrow, okay?
Yes, sir
- Grandma
- Riya
4 years have gone by
Why have you lost so much weight?
You always say this, grandma
Refresh yourself
and come eat, dear
I have to leave, grandma
You just got here
If you don't even rest for a day-
No time, grandma
Actually...
...it's very urgent
What is so urgent, dear?
I'll tell you after I get back, okay?
I still remember the headlines then
Mihira Satellite Lives In Sky
It was such a proud moment for our country
That satellite was launched 12 years ago
Missing its position
isn't a big surprise!
We...we really should
have been more careful
Welcome, Riya
Good to see you
Mihira satellite is
travelling at 2000 kmph
In its orbit
Every 24 hours...
...it falls short of
a distance of 2 km
'Since it is drifting...'
'...in almost 45 days'
...it may collide with
IMS-1 satellite in the lower orbit
Loss from this collision is
not for our satellite alone, sir
This debris moves at a speed
of 2000 kmph in space
That debris will hit the satellites
of neighboring countries
'...which in turn will hit
other satellites'
The fault in our Space Centre may cause
a black-out in the world's communication
Sir, it's a COD systems failure
We configured Mihira satellite system
with the old code
After that when the last scientist
Sharath Singh in the team retired...
...knowledge transfer was done to Dev
Sharath Singh died of
cardiac arrest 2 weeks later
Now we don't have anyone
qualified to modify the code
The necessity to teach anyone didn't arise
Tell me one good news, Mohan, please
- There is one, sir
- What is it?
We can ask Dev to transfer knowledge
to 1 of these astronauts
As soon as he enters space
he should be able to fix Mihira
5 years since Dev left!
He isn't even in touch with us
I know where Dev is, sir
But it's difficult to bring him here
I'll convince him, sir
I feel it's my responsibility
I suppose you know why Dev quit?
5 years back when
a similar situation came up...
...we failed, Riya
History should not repeat itself!
Yes, sir
'Area 407'
'We are setting it up'
'Ready to test in 5 minutes'
What...?
Emotions, huh?
Should be, Mohan
Shouldn't come here
with mere knowledge
This Space Centre's history
began with sacrifices
I mean this...
...this is my baby!
- What's so funny?
- No emotions for this call, huh?
1 week since my call was answered
Will I reciprocate so easily?
Not like that
Quite often the scientist and
lover in you have a tug of war, eh?
You should see your face then
I mean that anger
Like a rocket ready for launch!
That's enough
What's the status?
Everything is fine
T&C Subsystem inspection is scheduled
Team from Bangalore has been deployed
Inspection isn't over?
- Who is doing it?
- Ground team
We'll get the report in few hours
Telemetry and command subsystem
not receiving any signal
'Status is negative, sir'
Urgently need an engineer
System isn't receiving any signal
No...no...we don't have time
Send an expert immediately
We need someone extraordinary
on board right now, immediately
What the hell is this, Mohan?
You know T&C Subsystem plays a crucial role
between ground control and spacecraft, eh?
How can that be messed?
Because of this, status, configuration,
balance parameters will be affected
How did you send it
without checking in the 1st place?
You overlooked it, Mohan
Dev, didn't I tell you
Bangalore team prepared it?
Everything will be alright
'Hardly any time left for the launch'
Everything will be alright
'Hardly any time left for the launch'
Vishal, what's the status?
Sir, this is not responding
Try again with final position
- Connect it, come on, quick
- Sure, sir
Sir, still not responding
Thank you
Hi...Riya
Came here to troubleshoot T&C Subsystem
You look very young
Shall I come back after 10 years?
I...I'm Mohan
Technical Department
T&C Subsystem not generating signal
No reception even after restart
Okay, let me check
Equipment or control unit?
1st I must check the system settings
- Follow me
- Yeah
We'll report about the status
of T&C Subsystem
Thank you
If door mat is in, it's 'pull'
If it's out, it's 'push'!
Basic interview question
What?
New intern, huh?
Dev, I'm sorry
This is Riya
Our new Systems Engineer
Come to inspect T&C Subsystem
Why is she here when unit
is near the launch pad?
Why test the software
to assemble hardware?
Any issue 1st system settings
should be checked
It's a simple interview question?!
- Where's the system?
- This way
Fresher, huh?
Can she do it?
She looks tense
First time, huh?
No, I've been tense
many times before!
Hey, what the-
Riya, do you need support staff?
Do you need help handling this?
No...no...I can do this myself
As of now I'm overwriting the manual
This isn't the time for experimenting
Everything will be fine
if I do the simulation test
What does 'fine' mean?
You should be giving your best here
I find it difficult
to focus if you're here
Please can you give me some space?
Dev, you go...go
Can't believe this!
We should check
T&C Subsystem now
- Shall we go?
- Sure
If it doesn't work now, international
Space Centres will defame us
Don't worry
I'm sure it will work
If a person is given the respect
he or she duly deserves...
...the task can be completed properly
That's common sense
Please don't misunderstand Dev
He's a gem and this is
his 1st satellite launch
Anyone in his position
will behave the same way
He also underwent
astronaut training in Russia
Don't mistake pride for arrogance
This is a fully redundant unit
So in 2000 b/s data rate-
You need any help?
No...no...I'm just checking
a few parameters
'Temperatures'
Frame synchronization
'16-bit error detection code'
Spacecraft identification
It's done!
Good, let's go
You go back
You come here
Okay
Satellite is really important in our life
Be it the weather forecast
Or functioning of TV and radio
Or GPS working perfectly
...we depend on these satellites
So if we have to progress
along with the world
- What do we need?
- Communication
Without communication...
...we won't know any information
from anywhere or anyone
Thanks to these satellites...
...conversation between 2 people
...messages and calls can transpire
If communication is not proper...
...sometimes messages won't
be replied nor calls answered
Students
What's the name of the satellite
sent now to orbit the moon?
- Viprayaan
- Good
But by orbiting the moon
what does Viprayaan do, teacher?
Viprayaan will study the availability
of water in moon
Why check in moon when we have
plenty of water here?
We do, but the question here
is not about water
It's about our nation's pride
Thinking we talk directly to one another
if Graham Bell hadn't invented the telephone
...will we have cell phones today?
Thinking we talk directly to one another
if Graham Bell hadn't invented the telephone
...will we have cell phones today?
Similarly if this moon mission
is carried out...
...we will lay the foundation
for many future inventions
Why go now for something
which will happen many years later?
Once this was a jungle, but now?
This Space Centre is here
Unless someone takes the 1st step
how will any journey begin?
Children, remember this
Even a journey of 1000 steps
begins with a single toddler step
Whatever happens, the responsibility to
provide the future generation their needs
is ours...yes or no?
Yes, sir
So, if Viprayaan satellite succeeds...
...we will be the 1st in the world to
discover the presence of water in moon
What if it fails?
Come here
Do you know the story of
kings, wars and soldiers?
Yes, I do
Soldiers who fight in wars
never think about defeat
They want to win at any cost
No other option
Same with Viprayaan
This satellite is also like a soldier
Never ask if it will fail
Think only of how it can succeed
So remember, kids
Failure is not an option
- What are we looking for?
- Water
- Where?
- Moon
Good
Wait...wait
Stand in a queue
- Shall we meet the director?
- Yeah
'Keep quiet, kids'
Follow the teacher
- Hey Paru
- My students are here
Rekha...I will be back
It's all right, madam
Hey, Dev
I am sorry
I'm feeling hungry
Shall we go out?
- Bunking with the teacher, huh?
- Of course!
Dad, actually-
Change of plans again?
My daughter eats healthy food
- Don't feed her junk food
- Sir
I have a home too
Okay, carry on
Thanks, sir
To your place again, huh?
'The Nectarous Night'
- Food's ready
- Do you call this food?
- Huh?
- Okay, give
- Dev, please
- No
- I'm hungry
- No
Kiss me and I'll give you
Give me the plate I'll comply
I didn't mean food, kiss first
Waiting!
Cheating! Like how a Math teacher
usurps a 'Games' period?
Kiss properly
Hey, hold this
- Hello?
- 'Dev'
- Mohan, what's the status?
- 'It's working'
'That new girl Riya solved it'
Okay, I'll be there
Hmm...kiss now
Is the teacher angry now?
Want to punish me?
Should I stand up on the bench?
If you make the teacher cry
you'll lose your eyesight!
When the satellite launch photo
is published in the papers tomorrow...
...1st to get emotional will be
...your teacher!
Anyone else can only follow!
Anyone else?
I have no one else
to care for me other than you
Tomorrow when we have
a baby of our own...
...I need to practice now!
Eat
Replay of my own TLC, huh?
You always win, I give in
You win and I'll celebrate your victory
"Hands of the clock"
"Why rush headlong?
Stop your tick-tock"
"O' time precious"
"Give us a chance please
to cherish more moments of peace"
"At a point in time
when hands clasped sublime"
"A journey divined

"O' moment, don't tick away"
"Suffused in sweet flavor

"Don't let go, listen and savor"
Hey! 1 second
- Okay
- Thanks
Sorry, made you wait
It's okay
Nothing wrong in waiting for miracles
Viprayaan is not only your dream
It is our dream
"I ponder in wide eyed wonder
if the moon in the sky has traces of water"
"I can't see now however"
"But tears of joy from the face
of this moon on earth's surface"
"I keep seeing always"
"My equal half she is
My whole world of bliss"
"When swinging in rhapsody
in many notes of melody"
"7 worlds and 6 phases of time"
"When those stars open their doors divine"
"When happiness abounds
When sweetness surrounds"
"Don't let the promise of this dream disperse
into emptiness for better or worse"
Hey Paru, why do you love me so much?
I thought of this very often
I couldn't come up with the right reason
A love for no reason
is a feeling beyond comparison
"O' moment, don't tick away"
"Suffused in sweet flavor
as 2 hearts merge as 1 forever"
"Don't let go, listen and savor"
'Thunder storm anvil is within
19 km of the flight path'
'Fly through a debris cloud for 10 minutes'
Dev, very little time
left for the launch
We can abort this mission now
I mean wind currents
are not in our favor
If anything goes wrong
it will be big shame
'Wind speed is 32 knots'
'Cloud gathering 1100 meters'
Sir, we are ready to launch Viprayaan
Dev...!
Don't worry
It won't go wrong
It's my baby
'T minus 10'
'9...8...7'
'6...5...4'
'3...2...1...'
'Zero...'
'We have a lift off'
'Namaste, madam'
Where is house 18B,
opposite Lord Ganesha temple?
What do you want?
Dev
- Oh! Dev sir, huh?
- Yes
That is his house
'Isn't it 10 o'clock now?'
'You'll find him in the school'
- School?
- Govt school
Go to the main road
Anyone there will direct you
Okay, thank you
'Atmospheric pressure is caused'
'...by the gravitational
attraction of the planet'
Note it down
Pure water boils at 100C
It will rain today
- Air pressure
- Low
Pressure is directly proportional to the-
Where is Dev sir?
- 6 A
- No, 6th B
- Where...that side?
- Yes
- Okay, thank you
- 'Welcome'
'When the sun heats the ground
and warm air rises...'
As the air rises, it cools down
Water vapour condenses to form clouds
So when the condensation point is reached
...large cumulonimbus clouds are formed
Hence heavy rainstorms occur
- This is called as
- Convectional rainfall
I need a favor
We are in a real difficult situation
Are you still working there?
No one takes up
a job there to leave it!
We are all on national duty
Even coming here in search of you
I am on national duty
- What's that?
- Mihira Sat
That satellite was sent long ago
- You are here for that?
- That isn't the problem
We are unable to control it
Mihira and IMS-1 are
on a collision course
It can cause a black-out
on world communication
God forbid if that happens...
...program of sending astronauts
into space will be affected, Dev
It's not my headache
Listen, if you come
it will be of great help
Riya, I'm no longer
considered fit for the job
I'm sorry
It was my mistake on that day
and I'm really sorry
- Don't rake up the past
- That's why I am here
I need yo-
I'm sorry
Your presence is very
very important for us, Dev
But not for me
Whatever happened has happened
Can't turn back the clock
What can I do after 5 years?
Listen, please
At least save whatever is
under your control
It is not related to you and me
or to those few in the Space Centre
This concerns our nation, Dev
Please
Okay, but I can't come
I'll email the commands
To understand them, get trained
and to execute them
...depends on the talent of
'your' Space Centre
Students have their exams tomorrow
So if you can please leave
Dev
There are 3 types of people
in the world
1st, who don't know
what to accomplish
2nd, they know what to accomplish
but give up when a problem arises
3rd, accomplish at any cost
You know a few weeks back...
...NASA traced Viprayaan's location?
You used to proudly say then
'it's my baby'!
That's why I passed on
this information to you
Hello...Mohan?
'Dev said he won't come'
He is willing to email the commands
'Dev has changed very much, Mohan'
'To such an extent'
...he refers to our Space Centre
as 'your' Space Centre!
'Okay, see you soon'
'We sincerely thank NASA'
'...for finding the lost Viprayaan'
'We are indebted to them'
'But Viprayaan by now
is as good as a dead object'
'Mohan, emergency in Viprayaan's
position in the lunar orbit'
'It's ADCS error'
Dev, we'll burst crackers
in our wedding too
Wedding is celebration
Not pollution!
You have absolutely no taste
Hmm...I know!
Then I won't marry you, get lost!
Today is the happiest day of my life
Viprayaan will collect data today
And in a short while transmit data
Finally you agreed to marry me
I will have a family of my own
Like a rocket kissing the sky
Paru, 1 second
From my office
Hello...?
Hey...be careful
- Like this
- Paru
I got some work to do
in my office, it's urgent
Hey Lakshmi, keep an eye
Dev, I'll come with you
- No need, Paru
- Dev, please
Let me just come with you in the car
Don't want to be away from you
even for a minute
Okay, get in
'Current coordinates of Viprayaan
are not retrievable'
Dev will be here in 10 minutes
Let's wait for Dev
Don't have that much time
Connect him over phone
Dev, nothing will go wrong
Don't be so tense
Hello, Dev is driving
He will be there
- Almost there
- Paru
- In 10 minutes
- Turn on the speaker
Riya, what's the problem?
Dev, it's an ADCS error
Viprayaan's coordinates are missing
In 300 seconds we are
going to lose everything
Tell me the pre execution
values of ADCS
Roll 8
Pitch 4
Yaw negative 10
Okay, change Roll to 10
- Pitch to 5
- Okay
And mean orbital velocity
to 0.8 km per second
Yeah
'Riya, execute'
It's...it's not responding
'Dev, orientation is changing
with your values completely'
'It will make Viprayaan
get closer to North pole'
'Moon's gravity is weak over there'
- We are going to lose everything
- Riya, calm down
Dev knows what he is saying
He may know what he is saying
but what will be the repercussion?
He really doesn't know
'Dev, are you there?'
'Only 200 seconds left'
'Tell some other option'
Change Roll to 15
Pitch to 10
And MO to 12 km per second
It's not working
Showing error
'Need to reconfigure
orbital inclination'
Riya, just enter the values I said
Change the maneuvering
prograde motion settings
Riya, just attempt it
Don't delay
Dev!!
Dev...Dev, are you still there?
Dev
What did Dev say?
- Riya...?
- He is not responding
- Paru?
- Dev
Paru, you will be fine
Nothing will happen to me
You...your dream
Viprayaan
- Nothing will happen to you
- Dev, don't let it go
- You'll be fine when I am here for you
- Don't let go
Paru...Paru!
Dev
Check this once
We didn't even get
Viprayaan's coordinates
- We lost it completely
- Not possible
There must be something
Last position
Last received data
Dev, you are very disturbed
I don't know how to tell you
You need to take a break, Dev
There was no response
to the values given by us
Damn!
ADCS, why were
the settings not changed?
Dev...?
Dev, look at me
Viprayaan is no more
It's dead
What the hell is this, sir?
Can't we bring it back?
Can you bring my daughter back again?
This is Paru's last wish
Whatever happened
because of you is enough
"Talktalk to me now"
"Speak up, my life, my love"
"Decide where to bend
Which turn to take and when"
"Destiny again due?
Is this another journey for you?"
"Look! Stories of yesterday
and the day before on display"
"Herefor a bright future; to show the way
lamps of tomorrow and day after in array"
"There or herewhich way ahead?
Where do these rose-petal feet tread?"
"Pulling towards the burden of a bond?"
"Or pushing towards the distance beyond?"
"Or on safe shores friendly and fond?"
"Towards shores beckoning a bond"
"Only on shores friendly and fond"
Do you remember Dev?
I'm not to blame
in that issue, grandma
I know
Eat please
Why did you think of that now?
I didn't trust Dev
when I should have
I have no faith
he'll come back now
Yeah?
Dev?
Can't believe my eyes
- Almost 5 years
- Yeah
So good to see you
I believe Viprayaan was found
True, it has been traced
but nothing can be done about it
Do you know Viprayaan has recorded data?
But bad luck
We couldn't retrieve that data
But that's old story
We are moving forward now
We are sending 4 astronauts into space
Our best Indian astronauts
trained in Russia
72 revolutions around the earth for 2 days
I want to meet the director
Yeah, sure
He'll definitely be
very happy to see you
Yes, of course
Excuse me
I'll call you back
- How are you?
- Same as you!
Still single?
No one else is my world
other than her, sir
She shares even my solitude
'In every student's smile
I can only see her face'
I am alone
But I am not lonely
Are you aware of the task
you have to do on priority basis now?
We have run out of time
We have a big problem
That's why I'm here
with a solution
Tell me
What is it?
Send me, sir
I'll fix Mihira, directly
Send you...where?
To space
I'll correct the code
manually using wired protocols
We don't have time
to listen to your jokes!
I'm not in the mood to joke
Do you think this is
taking a P.T class in school?
- That's impossible, Dev
- In that case I'm sorry
I can't train someone
in this short a time
Dev, be reasonable
How is this possible?
At least this time
try to be a team member
Don't behave like a dictator!
Do you realize how serious this is?
I do, that's why I'm asking you
You have no other option
Sir, you know
I'm a trained astronaut
I can do this
Dev, listen to me once
Stop making a fool out of yourself
People respected you a lot here
Don't wipe that out
There's no bigger disgrace than
losing without trying, Mohan
Trust me on this
We have no other option
Don't experiment on it
No instructions on
the command module manual
Trust me, Karan, it works
Dev, they are the astronauts
who got trained in Russia
Do you know Riya also
got trained along with them
4 years of training
Must be really hard, right?
Not really
We are born for this
We both shared this ambition
from our childhood
It isn't our dream
to travel into space
It's our life
And we are meant to do this together
- Nice
- And you are...?
'He is Dev'
He needs no introduction
He has successfully coded
so many satellites
You inspire me, Dev
'He's Sanjay
Also trained from Russia'
He's here to help you
with Mihira if necessary
Oh great!
We are in good hands then
This space ship is called 'Jatayu'
Its parts have been
manufactured in India
Our country's 1st indigenous space flight
- Good to know
- Gentlemen
You must be tired after your travel
You guys need rest
Mohan, take care of them
Come on
Let's go
See you later, Dev
Hello, sir
- Please give me few minutes, sir
- Okay
We've been trained for 4 years
with utmost dedication
This mission for those twins-
It's an emotional attachment
No one will be willing to give
their space to you or support you
'Dev'
- What?
- As long as I support you
...didn't I tell you
no one can hinder your dream?
Proud of you, my boy
I feel like I am hugging
the moon close to my heart
Love you
What is this?
Forever obsessed with the moon!
Why are you so mad
about the moon?
Do you know the moon's speciality?
It can't delete darkness
With its tiny glow it can change
even darkness into a thing of beauty
Like your smile
is a joy forever
That's why I love the moon
as much as I love you
And I love you
as much as I love the moon
Hearing you say this
...I don't want to be away
from you even for a minute
Okay, I'll help Dev
How much longer with that beard?
Astronauts can't sport that thick a beard
I know everything
You deserve to be an astronaut
'Silence!'
'4 of our astronauts will be carried
into space by this space ship Jatayu'
'It is named after a legendary bird'
'...which showed the way
for a goal to be achieved'
'The astronauts travelling in this
will revolve the earth 72 times'
'So far no country in the world has
achieved this goal in such a low budget'
In life, you know what is
the height of disappointment?
'Not spending time with
our children when they are kids'
Son or daughter?
Daughter
4 years since I saw her
I started my training
right after her 1st birthday
She hadn't even learnt
to call me 'dad'
You must have missed her a lot, right?
From holding her hands to walk
to hearing her 1st baby-talk
I missed everything
Children grow up so fast, Dev
Don't know why
they are in such a hurry
Not realizing when we are in that phase
and realizing its child-like nature later
That's childhood
Not possible to add
an extra chair for you
1 of the 4 astronauts
should drop out for you to go
Maximum speed of
a space flight is 7000 kmph
If we exceed that we'll face major problems
and airlock life status will turn to red
'Excuse me, Mohan'
What about-
Dev, explain trajectory diversion also
I'll do it later
Mohan, continue
Dev, we are running out of time
When is 'later'?
Adithya, I got some other work
Let's do it later
Who are all going?
- 4 astronauts
- I didn't ask how many
I asked you the names
I don't know
Dev
We need to debug
velocity controller of Mihira
We can schedule that later
Karan
Aadhi?
Hasn't the coding session
with Dev been scheduled?
What are you doing here?
He postponed it
He is also reviewing the flight controls
I don't know what's happening
'This is from the director
of Indian Space Centre'
'To all other Space Centres' directors'
'Listen to me, although we've planned
our manned mission after 40 days'
'...we are sending our astronauts
in the next 10 days to rectify the damage'
'Mr Chandrakanth
I want you to understand this'
'IMS-1 satellite and Mihira satellite
are in collision course'
'This debris will collide into
the satellites of other countries'
'Causing a chain reaction'
'This will lead to worldwide
communication black-out '
'And your country will be
responsible for that'
'If this is bound to happen...'
'...then we have to take
required measures'
'Your 1 mistake can put
all the other countries in trouble'
'And we can't let this happen'
Yes, sir
Dev is stubborn
He refuses to part with the code to Adithya
We have just 2 days
for our flight launch
Sir, Dev is fit to be an astronaut
Upon detailed review
I don't see any complications
He has already been trained once
He was certified as one of the best, sir
Yes, sir
I think he can handle it
I know the complications
of Mihira satellite
Only Dev can fix that
If Dev has to be sent instead of me
...I'm willing to stay back
2 flight controllers are
compulsory in command module
Karan and you should be there
Dev doesn't know flight controlling
And Riya must be there for fixing Mihira
Sir, on the oxygen purge system
Mohan, turn on the simulation test
Okay
Excuse me
4 years back
this plan was designed
While we shed blood
and sweat for our country...
...how can you barge in all of a sudden?
Okay, I agree
You are a very successful man
But mental condition is also
important for an astronaut
Patience, decision making,
calmness, composure
I don't think you have any of these
He couldn't even control his car
A life was lost
If such a man is taken on-
Karan, stop it
I need you to answer this, Mohan
The 4 of us struggled for
the same dream for 4 years
How can you add someone
not even trained now?
- Adithya, listen to me
- Negotiation?
This isn't for you and me
Entire nation will be affected you know?
- Exactly
- What 'exactly'?
Mihira's knowledge is transferred to you
Now do that to me
I will fix it
That's not possible
When you can travel
in such a short time
...why can't knowledge
be transferred to me?
After sharing space
in our mother's womb...
...this space mission is
our combined dream
I am not talking about goal
but about rights
Nurturing love for something for few years
Dreaming about it
day and night
Finally losing it because of
someone else's fault
- Do you know how it feels?
- Yes
I know the sharp stab of that pain
more than you or everyone here
'This is not just about
communication satellite alone'
If I tell you straight
you can't understand
It's about our country
You won't understand
I can't transfer knowledge
of Mihira to you
'We have no other option'
You may think I'm selfish
or foolish or anything else
But I must go
If the tarnished pride
of our space centre
...should raise its head again
I have to go
I understood
- Do as you wish
- Adhi!
'I am going to check of this list, sir'
'Check'

'Copy'
'Go for main engine cut off, over'
Sir, we have a deviation
They are not on the expected path
Jatayu 1, it shows stage 4 shut down
Sanjay, your path is not correct
'Discrepancy seen in the travel codes'
Copy...checking
Listen
Your space module has deviated
'...by 18 from the pre programmed path'
'Check a new course
Trajectory path once'
'Initiating trajectory check'
Oh no! They are not on a circular orbit
- They are in elliptical orbit
- What?
- Then correct the path at once
- Insufficient time
Path correction will take
minimum 40 minutes
1st we have to fix Mihira
- Karan, check Mihira's path
- Yeah
We will be closest to Mihira
in the next 15 minutes
After reaching we have
2 minutes 50 seconds of sync travelling
After that, the distance between
the 2 orbits will keep increasing and-
Then Mihira will drift farther from us
Your orbit at the moment
is not on its circular path
It is on an elliptical path
Only for 2 minutes 50 seconds
you will be closest to Mihira
'Afterwards the distance between
Mihira's orbit and your orbit
'...will keep increasing'
Can't we get closer
after half rotation?
Karan, now Mihira is heading towards
our communication satellite IMS-1
...at a speed of 2000 kmph
'If not fixed immediately...'
'...in 20 minutes
the 2 satellites will collide'
Karan, this is not the time to worry
Dev, what do you suggest?
Let's do this
'What does that mean?'
'How can we fix it
in 2 minutes 50 seconds'
- We are approaching Mihira
- 'Copy'
Mihira is 40 to our left
We are closing in 1 minute
'Copy that'
'Opening hatch to Service modules'
'Copy'
'Preparing for extravehicular activity'
Riya, outside temperature is fluctuating
from -200C to -150C
- Careful
- 'Copy'
'Entering service module's outer chamber'
Good
Now you're at the closest point
'Copy'
'- Opening the hatch
- Copy'
'Mihira satellite in sight'
'Approaching'
'- 50 meters
- Copy'
Sanjay, configure Mihira's short range
connection for signal reception
I'm coming up on that now

'Rechecking'
'Request for reboot'
'Riya, you have only 10 seconds'
'We are deviating
Riya, quick'
'I have to change the slot
That's what I am trying'
'Jatayu 1 to Ground control'
'We failed to upgrade Mihira'
- Dev
- Riya, calm down
It's okay
Don't delve on what you could not do
Think only about what is doable
Slot didn't work
which I inserted now
I had to insert
into another slot but-
Power panel was behind the satellite
In another 12 minutes
Mihira will enter into IMS-1 orbit
And within 2 minutes 20 seconds
collision is unavoidable
You got a call from
Chinese Space Director
'This is from the Chinese Space Centre'
'We saw a failure in your attempt'
'We have to initiate
the missile launch'
We still have another chance
We are going to make the 2nd attempt!
'It's impossible!'
'You cannot do it in less than 2 minutes'
I'm telling you again
India is not going to lose this
Sanjay
- Increase speed towards Mihira
- Okay
What is he doing?
'Riya, how long will it take to reach?'
'4 minutes 24 seconds'
'What is the time left
to maintain path's same distance?'
'Jatayu speed is very high'
'So this time
just 1 minute 45 seconds'
'Means 65 seconds
less than our last attempt'
I'm really sorry
Next maneuvering
...I won't miss it
Not you
We...!
'Karan, I'll change
the settings and reboot'
You execute after the link-up
Why are you telling me?
'Dev...?'
What the hell!
'Dev, careful'
- Use thrusters
- Copy
- You check the deviation
- Yes
First it has to stabilize
After that maneuver
Take me as the reference point
- Adjust your maneuvering
- Copy
'1 minute 36 seconds'
'Copy'
Dev, don't panic
'You are in control'
'Just focus'
'Dev, careful'
My God!
Dev, watch it!
Take the support of the edges
'I need something to hold on'
'Dev!'
'That's it!'
Now hold and move
'I'm detaching the cable'
Careful
What is he doing?
Why is he detaching the cable?
He needs to go to
the back of the satellite
Distance is more
That's why
Update the time please
'80 seconds'
'70 seconds'

Inform all the Space Centre directors
Mihira is moving in a vacant orbit
'Dev, IMS-1 is still
in the collision course'
'You are bound to receive an impact'
Dev, oh my!
'Careful, Dev'
'Dev, your cable has got detached'
'Hold me immediately'
Yes, I am coming
'Dev, focus'
'Come tangentially to me'
'Take my coordinate and come'
'Come as accurately as you can'
- Yeah, I am coming
- 'Dev, just listen to me'
'- Can you see my visual?
- Yes, I can see you'
'Riya, I'm unable to control it'
'You are just 10 meters away'
I am trying
You are drifting
'Take the help of booster, Dev'
'Okay'
'Dev, you are just 10 meters away'
'Dev, almost there'
'Holding'
'Well done, Riya'
'Good job, Dev'
Jatayu 1 to Ground control
Dev and Riya have reached
the command module safely
Setting on course
with trajectory correction
'Copy
We are proud of you'
'Correcting the trajectory path
I'll execute the mission as planned'
'Yeah'
'Even our 2 day mission
in space should be successful'
'I am wondering
when I'll see my daughter'
'You'll see her soon'
'Her name is Kinnera, right?'
'She must be waiting eagerly to see you'
Coffee?
No, it's all right
- Sir?
- Okay
'Dev, you called me?'
- These are Viprayaan files?
- Yes
We must fix Viprayaan
and retrieve its data
- How can we do it?
- I have a plan
I need your help
Viprayaan was 5 years ago
Why rake it up?
Listen, Mohan
I have to do this
If I have your support
I can do a good job
And you owe me this!
You'll do it even if I don't support you
Power supply will be less in
a space flight, what will you do?
Why are the program alarms beeping?
Mohan?
Er...could be a power issue
Please check once
Jatayu 1, we notice a power issue
'Report status'
'Copy'
'Low power warning'
'Copy'
How is it possible?
Riya, check
'Whatever is happening is not good'
'Flight guidance'
'Alarms keep beeping'
Abort further stay and return
- Copy
- Sir
We need power to return
and it is dangerously low
Sir, he is correct
ISS is nearby to
dock for power back up
'It's impossible'
'ISS is moving at
a speed of 28100 kmph'
'We are only at 7000 kmph speed'
'We can't catch that speed
to dock from behind'
'If we try to dock from front
we'll be on a collision course'
Sir, we can do it by
vertical trajectory shift mechanism
- Vertical trajectory shift?
- Yeah
Yes, let's do it vertically
Taking a 90 degrees rotation...
...dock when the 2 positions sync
- Yeah
- It's too dangerous
Is it more dangerous
than dying here without power?
Let's do it
Okay, fix it
- Connect them to ISS
- Okay, sir
'Jatayu, this is Ground control
Permission granted
'- You may connect to ISS
- Copy'
'Do or die situation, Sanjay'
'Even if dock position changes by 1
we'll be stuck in space'
'- Focus, we are not dying in space'
- I am on it'
We are docked
No noticeable oscillations
'Everything smooth'
Inform me after back up
Why are the meter readings not changing?
We still have a problem
Actually we have no problem
- What?
- Yes
We never had a problem
We are going there!
Mohan?
You knew about this earlier, right?
Why are you looking at me?
No way, Sanjay
I haven't been trained for this
Even I don't think this is right, Dev
Is this a share auto to ask
the driver to stop wherever you fancy?
We are not ready for this
Dev, your proposal will
not be honored by Space Centre
- This is very dangerous
- Dev, listen
Flight controllers follow an important rule
If you don't know what to do
don't do it, period!
You have to convince him
Dev, your plan won't work
I will tell you what the hell
we are doing when it happens
- Riya, pass the water packet
- What?
Riya, give me the water packet
Lunar trajectory has steps
to be performed manually
1st step is to move
out of the earth's orbit
And next few steps
'To adjust to the moon's path'
And the final 2 steps
To enter the lunar orbit
Whatever we consider as rocket science
is truly rocket science indeed
But we studied and absorbed facts
only to face challenges
Not to take the easy way out and escape
If we don't fix Viprayaan now...
...it will be ruined soon
trapped in moon's gravity
'This is our one and only opportunity'
Come what may
I intend fixing Viprayaan
I'll return to earth
only after collecting its data
In this matter
...nobody can bloody stop me
Thank you, sir
I really appreciate
your support from ISS
- Yes, Kunal?
- Sir
- Back up over?
- Sir, Dev wants to go into moon's orbit
Tell him we'll plan next year
Sir, actually we never had a power issue
'It's a fake program
He has other intentions'
Does he think this is a fairy tale?
'Our only goal now is Viprayaan satellite'
'We are retrieving it at any cost'
Did he say Viprayaan?
Is he mad or what?
I should have realized this earlier
Turn on the speaker
Dev, this is the 1st and last warning!
Abort the mission and return immediately
Why are you being childish?
We are not equipped for this
We need a lot more resources
to accomplish your plan
'All of us will be in trouble'
Nobody knows that route and procedure
Riya, knowing the problem
is solving it 90%
'Balance only 10% is the execution'
Viprayaan is our nation's pride
Don't we have concern over a satellite
sent from our Telugu motherland?
How can we abandon it
in that quiet and dark space?
Dev, Viprayaan is dead
It is no longer important
'It is enough if we understand
our limits and follow instructions'
'That is our nation's pride'
Sir, Viprayaan is not a dead object
'Our excellence lies
in pushing our limits'
If you were part of
an administrative team
...and writing only parts of a rocket
would you be Mission Control director?
Sir, if I really had an option...
I won't be taking this step
Being detached
and disinterested is...
...not an option sir
- Escapism!
- Dev
Stop arguing and return at once
'If we don't retrieve Viprayaan now...'
...we will never be able to do so
If we can't fix, even after
our neighboring country finds it...
...we will be condemned
in the history of future generations
We are the best team with
the best flight in ground crew
If we are determined
we can make this happen
'Sanjay, abort the mission and return'
Viprayaan gave Indian Space Centre
an identity in the world
'Now that's at stake'
Sanjay, abort the mission
'That's my final order'
There won't be any further
discussions on this
If you support me in this issue, we can
restore the pride of our Space Centre
'Dev, you are out of your mind'
We are not plants
to stay stationary
'We are astronauts'
If we lose face
in world's eyes...
...how can we proclaim our victory?
Then how will we hold our head high?
Instead of feeling proud
like every Indian looking at our flag...
I don't like to bow my head in shame
We believed in ourselves and
we ascended so far into space
But why shouldn't we take
another step further?
Sir
I don't have a strong reason
to disapprove of this
Oh God!
We are wasting so much of our time
'There is no route
to take us to Viprayaan'
We need to focus only on
what is under our control
'Dev, listen, so far we have never sent
any human beyond our earth's orbit'
We don't even know whether we can
compute a lunar injection maneuver
'We have to match the orbit speed
of Viprayaan accurately'
'Supposing it is matched
when nearing Viprayaan...'
'...you can be caught in the moon's
gravitational force and never return'
Highly dangerous
Not just 1 or 2
You'll face countless problems
Sir, you have pointed out
all the problems
We studied and achieved so much
We have come this far
Can't we solve that
by brainstorming for an hour?
Sir, NASA has 36% Indian scientists
'Success rate amongst them is 90%'
Can't we add the 10% required effort?
We don't even know if this can
be done by boosters' guidance or not
Convert to auto pilot
and bring them back
Okay, sir
For the sake of personal pride
...you're sacrificing the integrity
of our Space Centre
Sir, Dev has executed some program
I'm unable to override
'Hey idiot! If any problem crops up,
you'll be caught in the moon's orbit'
You can't come out
In that case, we'll be
the 1st citizens on the moon!
Dev, this is not possible
Too many risks involved
Risk?
There isn't even a calculated risk, Riya
Exactly...life is beyond calculations
After coming here, I understood
how much we don't know
'How did we live this long
without knowing anything!'
If we die, it's our fate
We have to accept it
If anything happens to us, there won't be
delay in the next step, progress is assured
'We have to take back
Viprayaan's data'
Riya
There are 3 types
of people in this world
'1st type don't know
what to accomplish'
2nd type want to do
something somehow
'3rd, accomplish at any cost'
Between aspiration and achievement...
...effort is the only existing distance
After having come this far
...is it correct to step back?
Not correct, Dev
I can't believe myself
I feel I should support you in this
What? Don't you envisage
any problem in this?
Only problem I can anticipate is...
...we have to spend
extra 2 days in space!
Food may or may not be sufficient
What mad plan is this, huh?
Even in extreme emergency levels
we ensure minimum safety measure
You want to go to the moon
without minimum planning?
We will merge with darkness
One needs darkness to
see some bright spots!
If we plan, only the process gets done
Not miracles
Listen, Dev
If we go back to earth now
we will be hailed as heroes
We go by your plan
even our bodies won't be found!
Smallest mistake, we are out!
You may not have anyone, Dev
But we have families waiting for us
Suppose we die?
'Allow visitors'
Daddy
Hi daddy
Mummy, look
Nana
'Daddy'
Kinnera...hey!
How are you, nana?
My daughter...Kinnera
Listen, daddy
They are saying
you won't come home on Monday
Tell me, nana
Remember, the other day when you
refused to eat, what did I promise you?
The moon!
If I have to get the moon for you
shouldn't I go there?
Daddy is going up to the moon
They don't know its value, dear
They'll take it if they know
But if you go near the moon...
...this uncle says
you may fall down
So he says you may not come back
What do you think, Kinnu?
My nana is a super hero!
He'll bring me the moon definitely
True, uncle
I love my daddy more than this world
After bringing the moon back for me
...he'll comb my hair daily for me
He'll pack my lunch box for me
He'll drop me at school
He'll read many stories
to me at bedtime
Mummy told me
Right, daddy?
Won't you be back?
Yes, Kinnu
Whatever happens, whatever people
may say, daddy will go near the moon
I'll complete the mission
and return in 4 days
After I get back home...
...I'll make you and
the entire nation proud
I promise you, Kinnu
Daddy is a super hero
That means, tonight
I'll also see you from here
'By the side of the moon'
I'll see you too
from up here, moppet
Take care, daddy
Bye bye
I love you
Bye, Kinnu
I love you
Just like your plan
my tears don't hold back either
1st time, my daughter
has wished for something
Moon!
For 1 daughter
this is the 1st request
For another daughter
'...this was her last request!'
Slogged day and night
'Took many tough decisions'
Solved many problems
Enough of applauding other countries
'Now it's our turn'
For this mission to succeed
Follow my orders
'If anything goes wrong...'
Whatever issues arise
...I'll take up the entire responsibility
Okay, all flight controllers
Listen now
In Indian history
We will achieve something
for the first time
We are reaching the moon
Dev, from now on consult me
before taking any decision
And override automatic control
'Yes, sir'
Today is the day
We will be heading towards the moon
at a speed of 7000 kmph today
And the name of our mission
Mission Kinnera
"Journey through space to transcend
Mind struggles within unaware of the end"
"Journey through space to transcend
Mind tussles within unaware of the end"
"In the vast space ahead endless
In the heart an unsettled distress"
"Searching for an unknown bond
A journey into an empty sea and beyond"
"A journey into an empty sea and the unknown"
"Journey through space to transcend"
"Journey through space to ascend"
"Journey through space to spearhead"
"Journey through space to forge ahead"
"Eternal sky clashing for generations
with man's efforts and expectations"
"At the tip of the sky's finger
questions as star-lit festoons glitter"
"The glow on the moon mocks with a smile
for moon being called 'cool' all this while"
"Why this warfare against space?"
"When did this debt of gratitude surface?"
"Unaware of this secret
our heartbeat won't rest"
"Journey through space to transcend
Mind struggles within unaware of the end"
"Mind tussles within unaware of the end"
"Journey through space to ascend"
"Journey through space to spearhead"
They call this 'food', huh?
Dev, I'm really sorry
You faced so much loss
in your life because of me
I feel scared and worried at the same time
Why rake up the past now?
If you are wrong in ignoring
my commands when you are tense
...then I am to be blamed too
for allowing Paru to come with me
We should not be thinking of that now
I need your support on this
We won't get a chance to set back
the clock and set things right
We have that golden chance
for Viprayaan
Only opportunity to rectify
both our mistakes
I need you by my side
If you support me, we can
achieve our goal together
It's our baby
After this burn
they must take a sleep break
Guys, you need some sleep
Sleep?
I don't have that kind of luxury
'I won't sleep'
'Till this mission is accomplished
I just cannot sleep'
Right from childhood he's like this
He won't sleep
till he ticks his wish list!
His stubborn nature
sticks to him even in space!
Tell them we are not losing them
They must catch up on some sleep
Hey! Good to see you
Want to talk to Karan?
I'm so proud he has gone that far
How much longer should the engines burn?
Till they reach moon's gravity
Around 7 hours 40 minutes?
7 hours 40-
Any of you need a break right now?
If they don't sleep
we won't sleep either
Viprayaan's speed
around the moon is 805 kmph
'To reach Viprayaan'
'...we must travel in the closest orbit
with a matching velocity'
We get a 3 minute consistency
at the spot where both orbits match
We should maneuver in that time frame
and retrieve data from Viprayaan
What are the challenges?
We must figure out
the speed match point
If mismatched we will
have to rotate once more
Besides power and time issues
...any disturbance in extra rotation
...we will be pulled into
the moon's gravity
So theoretically, Viprayaan moves
only at 778 feet per second
'And according to your calculation'
...if we use 305 seconds
specific impulse with 5 kg thrusters
1016 kg propellant should be given
Yes
If we have to reach Viprayaan
at that specified time
...we must travel at a speed of 9000 kmph
9000 kmph?
Impossible
Jatayu 1 has not been designed for that
And theoretically
we lose control over the flight
Karan, if we don't go at that speed
we will miss Viprayaan
If our mission should succeed
we need 2 mid-course corrections
1st is the exact spot
the velocities match
And the specific time to initiate it
And to get that exact time
we should travel at the speed of...
9000 kmph
'7500'
'7700'
'7900'
'8000'
'8200'
'8400'
'8500'
'8600'
'8700'
'8800'
'8900'
'9000!'
'Congratulations!'
'Jatayu is moving at 9000 kmph'
'Ground control'
'Ground control, we have a problem'
- What happened?
- Sanjay, not getting Jatayu's visuals
'We have a Bus B under volt'
What is the airlock status?
Red indicated on the port panels
We are checking
I need the report a.s.a.p, send it
Is it main Bus B?
Yes
'Computers are restarting'
I'll reconfigure the terminal
- What happened?
- Service module is impacted
Open the log files
of service modules
Sir, we have a serious problem
Service module hatch has opened
'Line up the visitors'
What's the data telling you now?
Power units' readings not showing, sir
- Check manually
- Sir
They have only 60 hours
of power back up, sir
Listen
You will take 25 minutes
to go up to Viprayaan
Then you need 72 hours
to travel back to earth
'Understand? You have
only 60 hours of power supply'
'Service modules are all burnt'
'Your exit is closed'
'If the hatch is opened
command module will blast'
'Attempt a sling shot from lunar orbit
Return to earth before oxygen depletes'
Dev...?
We are very close to Viprayaan
We almost reached it
Dev...Dev, we tried
We are all very proud of you
Please return immediately
'Our exit option is closed'
'Prepare to bring them back'
Dev, I'm sorry
I'm switching on to auto pilot
There's a way to check
if they can go out or not
Must check if service module
or outer chamber is burnt
Just give me a minute
Karan, open temperature
and pressure panels
Values are almost steady
Fluctuating near 30 range
Good, so it means the chamber connecting
the service module isn't burnt, it's safe
It can serve as your exit
Adhi, it is an analog system
What if the indicator gets stuck?
Okay, open service module log once
'Likewise turn on
the power input to BUS B'
'Any changes in
the log file readings?'
No
'Increase input voltage
Same power to BUS C'
- Shows the same 30
- Fantastic!
Chamber connecting service module and
command module isn't burnt, it is safe
'They can exit from there'
'Adithya, in case
your procedure is wrong'
'...we will lose all of them'
'Sir, trust me, it works'
I trust you guys
Other than main application
turn off rest of the power
'Ground control'
'Main applications power restored'
'When I was a kid I never ate
unless I saw the moon'
'But now when I'm nearing the moon
this food just isn't enough!'
'We are entering
the lunar sphere of influence'
'Congratulations!'
'We are now under
moon's gravitational pull'
Copy
Dev, keep this in mind
'If you decide on a slingshot
maintain current orbital distance'
Viprayaan is now at 806 kmph
'Your flight speed is low now'
That means you will have only 8 minutes
If you take longer...
...we cannot bring you back!
You are on suicidal
'Copy, sir'
'We are almost there'
Karan
This plan has to work
come what may
You have oxygen supply
only for 7 and 1/2 minutes
Don't wait for me, as soon as
you receive the data attempt a slingshot
'Waiting for EVA permission for Dev'
Dev, you are in
Director has permitted extra
vehicular activity to capture Viprayaan
'Okay...we are good to go'
Okay
Dev...?
Go safely
Not 'Go safely'
Say, 'Come back safe'
When we travel under the moon's shadow
'...it is said the stars shine 10 times
more beautiful than seen from our earth'
Maybe it will look more beautiful
than Tilak's 'The Nectarous Night'!
Waiting eagerly to see it
- Check your signal frequently, Dev
- 'Yes, Sanjay, copy'
Good luck, Dev
I am checking the signals
You are very close to the moon
We are working on it, Mohan
Just hold on
Copy
'When we go behind the moon,
you will lose signal for few seconds'
Copy
'60 seconds'
'You will hear what we speak
only after 60 seconds'
Copy
Remember we are not
going to lose you guys
'We have moved farther from Viprayaan'
What...?
I don't think so
System shows it
Are we maintaining that distance?
Dev, control your breath
You are tethered
Cable is stuck
Not enough to reach Viprayaan
'This is the maximum limit'
No, Sanjay
Maneuver it closer
You can't get closer than this, Dev
Then how will Dev reach Viprayaan?
Cable is attached to him
This plan isn't feasible
- I must go for plan B
- 'What other plan?'
What?
We have a serious situation
Dev has detached the cable
and attempted the slingshot
'You can't get closer than this, Dev'
'Then how will Dev reach Viprayaan?'
'Cable is attached to him'
'This plan isn't feasible'
'- I must go for plan B
- What other plan?'
What other plan?
Don't know, sir
'Dev, do you copy?'
I repeat, Dev, do you copy?
Give me your position, Dev
'Can you see us?'
'Dev, do you copy?'
'Repeat, do you copy?'
'We lost your position, Dev'
Give me your position
Dev, respond
Dev, report
'Give me your position, Dev'
'Can you see us?'
'Dev, do you copy?'
'I repeat, Dev, do you copy?'
'We have lost your visual'
'Your suit is getting depressurized'
'We have only 4 minutes for slingshot'
'Do you copy?'
I am on mark
We got to go...go...go
Come on
I have just reached Viprayaan
Riya, antenna orientation has to be set
Dev, we have 3 minutes and 40 seconds
After that we need to get
the hell out of here
Copy that
Riya, do you copy?
- Opening the power panel door
- 'Copy'
When you read system signals, you can
view Viprayaan's data, confirm it
Not receiving data
'IMU is up'
Copy that
- Uplink telemetry to axiom
- 'Copy'
Is it being processed?
Data reception confirmed
Yes, we did it!
'Data transmission has stopped'
What...?
Not getting data?
'It is negative
Not receiving signals'
Dev, we have 2 minutes
30 seconds to get out of there
Quick!
'Data is loading'
Dev, your oxygen level
is very, very low
'Why are you using back up power
from jet propulsion?'
'Oxygen in your suit will deplete
in a second, don't do it, Dev'
'Data loading interrupted, Dev'
'It is working
Receiving data'
'Come back, Dev'
What is the status?
'20%'
'Dev, you come back'
Dev...?
Dev, data is getting transmitted
You have to come
'60%'
'70%'
Tell me when data is 100% transferred
'Dev, your oxygen level
is dangerously low'
'90%...'
'Dev, come back'
'100%'
Dev, come back
We have incoming data
We have incoming data!
'Give me your position'
'Report, Dev'
Control your breathing
Dev, do you copy?
Turn on your light
Please, Dev
Yes...yes, I copy
'Turn on your light'
I will
Turned it on
Can you see it?
'No, still no visual'
I am waving the torch
Confirm if you can see
Confirm the visual
Dev, what happened?
Where are you?
Confirm visual
Negative, no visual
'Dev, your suit has
only 5% oxygen'
Dev, you are inaudible
'You're inhaling CO2 now'
'Control your breathing'
Dev is drifting away
Communication is totally cut
Dev...please
Dev, please
Sanjay, do you copy?
Negative, there is no confirmation
- They are coming back, sir
- Okay
- Go ahead with retrofire
- Yes, sir
Retro booster 1
Fired
Autopilot is on
We are up for the slingshot
Dev hasn't come
We have to stop
- We have to stop
- Ground control, we lost Dev
I repeat we lost Dev
Stop slingshot
If it takes them 1 minute to receive
our message, same for us too
Total 2 minutes
We can't stop this
Entire control is from the ground
'Retro booster 2'
Retro booster 3
Fired
All fired
'Ground control'
'We lost Dev
I repeat we lost Dev'
'Stop slingshot'
'I repeat we lost Dev'
'Stop slingshot'
Whaaat...?
Dev hasn't come back?
Sir, we can't do anything now
'After retrofire
if we override manually'
'...Jatayu will go out of control!'
For having fixed Viprayaan...
...Dev will feel very proud
Yeah
Sanjay
Do you see the chamber's temperature
and pressure values are changing?
Dev
'De-pressure the suit'
'Karan, check the oxygen values'
'Hurry up!'
'Riya, fill the oxygen tank'
'We are losing Dev, quick!'
'Riya, I'm talking to you'
'Oxygen, quick'
'Dev'
'We are not losing you'
Dev
Dev...?
Dev
'Dev, you did it'
'You did it!'
'Ground control, we have Dev'
'I repeat we have Dev'
'Ground control, we have Dev'
'I repeat we have Dev'
We have him
We have him!
Everybody on board
Mission Kinnera accomplished!
Okay...okay, guys
Congratulations to you all!
You guys are awesome
Now relax
Relax...relax
'Ladies and gentlemen'
'An enormous lava tube has been found
in the Marius Hill region of the moon'
'It could offer a readymade shielded site'
'Within which
human structures can be built'
'We concluded this could've happened due to
a blow-out from a volcano in the moon'
'In case this hypothesis
is proved to be true...'
'...then definitely'
'...there will be water molecules on moon'
'And as a result'
'...human inhabitation
is likely over there!'
'Space centres have chosen Mars
to be the centre for research'
'To conduct tests on Mars...'
'...journey will take 300 days!'
'But if it is moon...'
'...we can go in just 3 days!'
'That will be the next mission
of Indian space centre'
'In another 3 years...'
'...India's mission to send people
to the moon will be accomplished'
'So, friends...'
'...Viprayaan is undoubtedly a wonder'
'And a pride of India!'
- Nana!
- Kinnu
- Daddy, did you bring me the moon?
- Couldn't bring it
If you study well
you can go there one day
Thanks, bro
You made it happen
What does it matter
you or me?
We are proud of you both
In the next mission
try to send both of us
Okay, we'll see
"Mother earth! We flew into space
with courage and conviction in place"
"Mother, we descended safe
in your warm embrace"
"If you can't believe me so easily
ask that silver moon above you see"
"If she witnessed our Mission Kinnera
ask her to endorse; it isn't a chimera"

"Though we beckoned the moon above
she was unwilling to leave her abode"
"Fine, we decided we'll meet her
in the infinite space yonder"
"We went on a royal mission to space"
"Garlanded by lightning flashes"
"The eternal sky in wonderment
rejoiced with joyful enjoyment"
"Will the distance never decrease
between borderless skies & boundless seas?"
"Did this thought-wave follow
in our heart and mind to ebb and flow?"
