Rocket Boys 2 review: When the sky isn't the limit!!
What: Rocket Boys 2 – enlightening, entertaining, the incredibly overwhelming experience felt in season 1 of Rocket Boys last year gets more depth and meaning. The amazing story of India’s stand out genius scientist – Dr Homi Bhabha and Dr Vikram Sarabhai
Rocket Boys S2 synopsis
Rocket Boys 2 continues from where it ended. Dr Homi Bhabha (Jim Sarbh) and Dr Vikram Sarabhai (Ishwak Singh) the two extraordinary scientist having dreams that seems impossible for a country like India.
Homi wants India to have the nuclear technology to make that powerful weapon and not to fall prey to the hypocrisy of the developed nations controlled by America.
Vikram who advocates peace wants Indian satellite roaming in space.
Today, India has the above powers; India is a global force to reckon with.
The second season of Rocket Boys essays the trials, turbulences and triumph of these scientist, their nation – India, political scenario during that era (60’s 70’s) and how the personal life’s of Dr. Homi Bhabha and Dr. Vikram Sarabhai got affected.
Sony LIV's Rocket Boys 2, Produced by Siddharth Roy Kapur, Nikhil Advani (also the creator), Monisha Advani and Madhu Bhojwani and scripted and directed by Abhay Pannu, is another triumph and a strong contender for the year’s OTT awards, especially technical.
Meticulously crafted, brilliantly mounted and absolutely loyal to the theme, its characters and the era. A remarkable example of facts (those raw footages) and fiction having the winning effect on the audience. Rocket Boys 2 has more politics and personal battles and its range is wider than Rocket Boys 1.
The magic of science, the genius of a human, the power of self believe and the boons of determination Rocket Boys 2 finds firm footage.
And it’s not only about Homi and Vikram, it’s also about Mrinalini Sarabhai (Regina), the young APJ Abdul Kalam (Arjun Radhakrishnan), Jawaharlal Nehru ( Rajit Kapoor), and Indira Gandhi (Charu Shankar).
The eight episode series is thoroughly engaging, having enough drama twined by suspense and dose of thrills when required to keep the audience on constant hook.
Jim Sarbh is incredible once again.
Ishwak Singh is nuanced and controlled dobaara.
Regina Cassandra stands out.
Dibyendu Bhattacharya is outstanding.
Saba Azad is fabulous.
Namit Das is good.
Rajit Kapoor is fantastic.
K.C. Shankar is very good.
Arjun Radhakrishnan as A. P. J. Abdul Kalam is very impressive.
Charu Shankar as Indira Gandhi is brilliant.
Dibyendu Bhattacharya is a marvelous actor but his fictional character Raza gets unnecessary beating. More of APJ Abdul Kalam was needed.
Rocket Boys Season 2 is an eminently well-made account of India’s two great legends in science and space technology. Dr. Homi Bhabha and Dr Vikram Sarabhai. How India became the sixth nuclear power in the world, how we laid the foundation of Chandrayan and Mangalyan and how we got our television telecast through satellite, you will witness the story behind all the above mentioned miracles in Rocket Boys 2.
Rocket Boys 2 is streaming on SonyLIV.
