Parmanu: The Story of Pokhran

Tone, Script & Story: The story is to carry out nuclear tests secretly by India without the world knowing about it. Script is tight it keeps you engaged. Patriotic tone is executed well.

As john conveyed to press, the movie is 90 percent factual, its majorly so if not accurately. Its nice to come through a general dose of facts. Being a patriotic Indian, facts based on positive aspects of growths of one's country are enough of a recipe for a successful film.

As the movie progressed, it had me like it is more of inspired, rather being accurate. One things for sure it was entertaining. As the movie progresses to end it is portrayed that there are 6 nukes to be tested, in movie it is shown, only one of them is detonated, but whatever is shown have you in your seats.

Direction, Screenplay, Cinematography: One word for the mention three department's 'excellent'. Direction from Abhishek Sharma. Screenplay around the clock. Cinematography, especially when nuke is detonated.

Music: Music was average. Acting: Acting was average as well, from all the leads. John Abraham as a producer has been giving us really cool stuff.

Final Verdict: Patriotic, factual and entertaining treat, one must not miss.

Pros: Based on true events, which undoubtedly is a pride of any sensible Indian Cons: Everything else. Just coz this is based on a true event (especially a proud moment) doesn't automatically makes this movie a good one. Story telling is lazy, character building is lazy. Not one character with whom one can relate or even understand their background except someone saying "he's brilliant, he's awesome". Gimme a break. Dont tell me, SHOW me. That's what movie is about.

Technical aspect of the Pokhran test is so diluted as if it looks like connecting a dynamite using wires and pulling the switch. Nothing about the challenges they've faced is shown except brushing the surface of it.When i read about Pokhran, clearly it's notable that they've missed the basic thing, which is the hard work put in by each one of the team member.

John Abraham and the IB girl- God save their acting. Others acting is passable at best, except Boman Irani, who doesn't have much screen time.

This move, from a story telling point of view, kinda sucks. Just coz I'm Indian, I've given this 5/10.

We would expect a movie inspired with true events ought to keep you engaged throughout.

Alas , it may not be in case of Pokharan.. an event which brought the country to the world map of military power and paved its way to have a stronger role in world politics, the movie might not have been able to build a strong backdrop story line .. a not so strong screenplay, at times lame dialogues and script drags and tries to instill patriotism.. I guess movie was an attempt to stardom, from the factory of recently created patriotism formulae with humor dialogues nd doesn't help, atleast myself.

Again, I still feel we had a great cast nd have watched some great work from JAs production like Madras Cafe.. Diane Pentys role could have been stronger than just making her walk in a uniform ..

Parmanu is thriller movie, which shows how RAW coordinated with IB , Indian Army , ISA to test India's atom bomb along with keeping the mission secret from Pak's ISI and US CIA.

Great acting by lead actors.

Movie misses on mnay science fronts ... Such as people handle open nuclear core without radiation suit... overall not very smart movie
