To those not familiar with the film, space moms is based on the true story of the women behind India's Mars mission. The movie does a good job of revealing the aspirational nature ISRO (India's Nasa) and their constraints. It provides an fresh and authentic perspective on inclusive nature of ISRO's culture and normal Indian life. The character's are authentic, and real. Wish their was greater opportunity to further develop the characters and the development team dynamic, but it's only 90 mins long.
If your an Indian or have roots from India this is a film you must see. It reflects modern India's aspirations along with it's ancient roots. If your not -- this film provides a fresh and authentic perspective on India. Something that very few films have done.

Authentic and very positive film -- must see
Great movie on shoestring budget
Its a great movie on minimal budget. Very authentic and presents the true story in an interesting manner devoid of masala. A must watch.
The girl who plays with planets
This film is inspired by the India Mars orbiter mission. It centers on the lives of two women who lead the program. One was a very strict no nonsense worker, while the other smiled all the time and focused on team work. There was no faux internal conflict as in Hollywood films. This film was for India what "Hidden Figures" was for the US.
Most of the film was in English and subtitles were used when it was not. There were numerous issues involved with the launch, but nothing the women could not overcome.
