Read this piece by @radhabharadwaj on #SpaceMOMs, the first feature film inspired by the women of #Mangalyaan. #Bollywood wanted her to dumb down her script with silly made-up stories about the ISRO engineers. Radha said no. theprint.in/opinion/with-m… via @ThePrintIndia
@radhabharadwaj @ThePrintIndia #SpaceMOMs accurately portrays the women of #Mangalyaan as people who respect the traditions of their Indic culture. #Bollywood didn't like that. In order to stay true to these women, Radha took her script and made #SpaceMOMs independently, mortgaging her house to fund it.
#SpaceMOMs is an underfunded underdog of a film, just like #Mangalyaan was an underfunded underdog of a mission. But the women of Mangalyaan proved underdogs can triumph over impossible odds. And the public wants a Mangalyaan film that is heartfelt, dignified, sincere, authentic.
It's fitting that #SpaceMOMs is a scrappy, independent film. Trying to tell an underdog story like #Mangalyaan with a glossy, big budget star vehicle would be like Goliath masquerading as David; like NASA pretending to be @isro.
