The screening was attended by former CBI director DR Karthikeyan, former IG CBI PM Nair, senior government officials, stakeholders from the film industry and the team Rocketry.
The film was applauded by the guests for its script, editing, acting and most importantly the inspiring story of the life of Nambi Narayanan.
Speaking at the special screening, Madhavan stated that the film is a celebration of India’s technological prowess across the space and IT sectors. “The movie is a tribute to the master Mr Nambi Narayanan whose Vikas engine never failed. It also conveyed the message of India’s soft power skill sets to the world with regard to human resource expertise and scientific excellence,” he added.
I and B Secretary, Apurva Chandra said that the film is not only gripping but also touches the heart of the audience. “The film pays tribute to the thousands of scientists, including Nambi Narayanan, who have dedicated their entire life to the achievements of India’s space programme,” Chandra said.
