But the fact that the actors with their calibre make you believe in their performances and also make you immerse in the show is the testimony of a successful casting coupe. He is a zen person, of course, with vices, but still a subtle man with a very low baritone and a face that beams with optimism almost all the time. With a whole lot of things going on, it is anyways difficult to travel the timeline. Gandhi was one of the most fierce women the universe had to offer, and the actor does justice to the part. Charu Shankar gets to play the Former Late PM Of India, Indira Gandhi, and the best part is that she doesn’t mimic her. The writing and dialogues by Kausar Munir with Pannu manage to even delve into the personal lives of the main characters. In the concept by Abhay Koranne and the screenplay by Pannu, a lot is happening. Indira Gandhi had to take over the chair, and with that, a woman reigning had to have the world coming after her position. The nation is still building, and every move is now being monitored by other powerful countries. And when the subjects are the Father Of the Indian Nuclear Programme, the Father Of Indian Space Program, and the ever so optimistic and radiant Dr. So season 2 scales one and a half decades from the early 60s to the mid-70s. Abhay Pannu back to his creator and director seat with Nikhil Advani as co-creator; this time decides not to really replicate what worked in his favour the last time.

However, this season is more about politics, the highs and lows of the trade and assassination attempts.

Thus, when the two do go through the motions of their great breakthroughs and inventions, as well as the failures associated with these breakthroughs, you are pulled into their stories and feel for them in all of the highs and lows. If anything, we have always gotten a fair side of these people and the privileges that they come from.

The makers of Rocket Boys 2 have delicately weaved the narration past key moments in independent India’s pursuit of nuclear power and attempts to create its own space in the global scenario emerging then. The evolution of both characters from seasons 1 to 2 is remarkable and deftly executed. Yes, certain creative liberties have been taken, and certain fictional characters are part of the overall narrative. And then, there is the star cast. Abhay Pannu’s Rocket Boys 2 lifts off from the heights that the last season powered to, and much like a rocket, thrusts forward to its intended orbit. It’s a story of great expectations, masterfully narrated to the palate of the generation that rarely gives the history of this nation the recognition it so deserves.

Series 'Rocket Boys' was a hit for SonyLIV when it began streaming in 2022 and the streamer is expecting to replicate its success with season 2.

Abdul Kalam (Arjun Radhakrishnan), who pioneered modern Indian aerospace and nuclear technology, and would go on to become the President of India, and the then Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru (Rajit Kapur) who supported the scientists. If we are taking the audiences into the 1940s then they are Homi and Vikram. Set during the 1940s-1970s, key players in the series also include Mrinalini Sarabhai (Regina Cassandra), a pillar in Dr.

Finally, the use of powerful videos from the time period adds to the show's realism. Arjun Radhakrishnan, who was barely introduced in the previous season as Dr. The background score complements the drama and enhances its impact. Story: This second season takes us back in time to examine the contributions, determination, and beliefs of two Indian physicists—Dr. There is plenty of drama from the beginning, however, the last two episodes are explosive enough that you don't even have time to blink. Vikram Ambalal Sarabhai (Ishwak Singh)—in transforming India into a nuclear power in the face of imminent global war threats.

The biggest hurrah is for the leads—Sarbh and Singh—who deliver convincing performances as Nehru's 'mad scientists' Homi Bhabha and Vikram Sarabhai.

Rocket Boys 2 is essentially a positive story about India’s scientific evolution, leading up to the sheer determination of Kalam. Set in the sixties and the seventies, Rocket Boys 2 utilises the social interactions of Sarabhai and Bhabha, and the women in their lives to focus on the open-minded and liberal mindsets prevalent then. The CIA was determined to control India’s defence in the post-Independence era. It shows the optimism of a new nation moving forward with scientific leaps, when Doordarshan begins broadcasting Krishi Darshan to India’s villages. Rocket Boys 2 sets up geopolitical tension and tough challenges for its scientists from the first episode, which starts with May 18, 1974 when The Buddha ‘smiled’ and India tested its first nuclear bomb. His marriage to Mrinalini Sarabhai (Regina Cassandra) is a sullen affair of unfinished conversations and unaddressed hurt.

In its second season, the Sony LIV show remains committed to depicting that geniuses too can be upstaged by the intimate and the personal.

That said, Rocket Boys remains as prestigious and graceful as they come, a show that attracts the curiosity of the deep reader without depriving the casual viewer of his dosage of love, thrill and cerebral intrigue. This is ultimately, as the second season nearly spells out for you, the story of a country as seen through the life of two, committed and competent men. There might still be an argument around inauthenticity, given cardboard boxes beam with red and green lights at one point like a stagey skit, but then the science of it all is not the story. There is a change of tempo here, but then the shadow of landmark events, the caveat of conspiracies, make this second season a lot less personal than the first one. Enmeshed with global political intrigue, a nation on the cusp of social and scientific epiphanies, Rocket Boys has remained committed to the fact that no genius can live without being somewhat upstaged by the intimate and the personal. That last bit is pivotal, the kind of creative red-herring that can, for better or worse, be interpreted as an act of conspiratorial self-identification.

SonyLIV's Rocket Boys, about Indian scientists Dr. Homi J. Bhabha and Dr. Vikram Sarabhai, was one of the most popular web series in India last year.

“There are new generations of scientists, and the story of our nuclear and space programmes could be extended all the way through to contemporary times.” Roy Kapur and Advani also say that a third season of Rocket Boys is a possibility. “The first season told the story of the birth of India as a nation and a gave a sense of how precarious it was in those early days of Independence and the debate around becoming a nuclear power. Roy Kapur Films is also working on an as-yet-unannounced series for SonyLIV about the period of Indian history from 1930 to 1950. Although Advani says that both seasons of the show use some poetic licence and introduce fictional characters, all the major events in India’s history – including Operation Smiling Buddha, the country’s first successful nuclear bomb test, which is depicted in Season 2 – are portrayed pretty much as they happened. With Season 2 launching today (March 16), Advani and Roy Kapur talked to Deadline about how the story has been taken forward and how India’s recent history has become a hot new topic in local drama.

The Rocket Boys Season 2 also feels a bit slow at points. Rocket Boys Season 2 revolves around Homi J Bhabha (Jim Sarbh) and Vikram Sarabhai (Ishwak Singh) as they battle the odds to fulfill their dreams at a time when the country is going through political turmoil. They do a good job of highlighting the vulnerable side of these characters. Similarly, in a particularly moving scene, Homi J Bhabha and Jawaharlal Nehru (Rajit Kapur) discuss the importance of passing on one’s legacy. Its second season lives up to the standards set by the first one and proves to be a highly watchable affair despite minor shortcomings. Jim Sarbh and Ishwak Singh’s earnest performances do justice to the inherently engaging plot, says our review.
