    Well directed and interesting...

    The movie is basically a biographical on ISRO scientist Nambi Narayan and his struggle to introduce the cryogenic engine in Indian Space science.. he was falsely accused of espionage and the movie is about the brilliance behind Nambi's efforts.. Definitely take your kids to theatre to watch this movie...

    EVERY INDIAN PERSON MUST WATCH THIS!!!!!! 🙏🏻

    First of all thanks to R Madhavan for making this movie. A story that needs to be told. We as a country failed to protect our genius scientists and true patriot like Nambi Narayan Sir. And we owe people like him a big apology and should stand by him to fight against this injustice and prevent and protect future Nambi Narayan's from facing this. 🙏🏻 Every patriotic Indian should watch this movie to know Nambi Narayan Sir's contributions and sacrifices of many scientists like him to bring India to a place that we are in today which would have otherwise taken many many decades to achieve and lastly to be aware of how terribly a great scientist was treated by us as a nation so that we can prevent this from happening to anyone else ever again. 🙏🏻

    Masterpiece....Must watch....

    Masterpiece.... Must watch movie..... Madhvan has given this movie every single bit of him... heart touching movie which depicts how an innocent can be blamed for all his life..

    Madhvan deserves to get National Award for this movie.... Mast watch movie..

    Every Indian should watch & get inspired

    First and foremost I didn't even know about Nambi Narayanan until movie was announced. What a shame. We need to seriously look at what we have been learning at schools and academics.

    This movie is a must watch for all Indians to know how a true patriotic has been stripped off all the achievements just on the basis of fake case. Madhvan is absolute brilliant and honest with his performance and so does the supporting cast. They have tried to inculcate all the major happenings of his life and journey and the setback.

    Kudos to entire team who have a winner in their hand. This movie should be encouraged and youth should get inspired to serve the country. Had Nambi sir didn't face those fake cases he would have been enjoying the same reputation as Dr Kalam.

    A man who is no less than a James Bond and did all this for the country and its people. Hail Nambi Sir!

    Brilliant!!! A movie Par Excellence

    The film making is world class. Madhavan has hit the ball out of the park with his first directorial. A story to be told with such conviction is really commendable.

    Best Biopic this country has ever produced.

    Hats off to Madhavan and his team dedication 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

    • Trivia
      Even though the film had the same cast across the Hindi and Tamil versions with 2 different stars (Shah Rukh Khan in Hindi & Suriya in Tamil), the climaxes in both the Hindi and Tamil versions are slightly different when the real Nambi Narayanan conveys his final thoughts to the anchor. In the Hindi climax, Nambi Narayanan's dialogue is voiced over by Madhavan himself despite Narayanan's hindi lip-sync being correct. However in the Tamil climax, Narayanan speaks the same dialogue for himself in Tamil.

      Another notable difference is that in the Hindi version, once Narayanan ends the interview with "Jai Hind" (translation: Victory to India) Shah Rukh Khan conveys the same in return while wiping away his tears. In the Tamil version though, Suriya conveys his silence while being astonished by Narayanan's last words.
