Hold on, Mathur.

Hold on.

Okay. Now.

Insert the fuel element, Atulya.

The fuel element is being
inserted in position P5.

Pull up the control rods.

The reactor is critical.

Send the invitation to bhai.

Sir!

Sir, Bhabha has sent
a telegram from Bombay.

Send the inauguration invitation
to West Bankura's MP Raza Mehdi, quickly.

His presence is of utmost importance.

Okay, sir.

You?

How did you come inside?

Who let you inside?

I have heard your Cyclotron
has failed once again.

How does it concern you?

But I must say...

...you defeated Panditji at the
Lok Sabha so wonderfully.

But did you gain anything?

I don't want to talk
to you about all these things.

Who are you? Get out!

How did you come inside...

Security!

Security!

Security!

Who let him come inside?

- Security!
- All of them have left.

Shankar.

Dibyendu.

Isn't that your security guards' names?

And what is your assistant's name?

Kaustubh.

Everybody has left.
Only both of us remain.

Don't be afraid of me.

I am your friend.

I want to help you.

I can get you the funds that
can help you complete your research.

Why?

What will you gain?

You will find out when the time comes.

For now it's important
for you to know that your enemy...

...Homi Bhabha is our enemy too.

What do you mean by 'our'?

You ask too many questions.

Just do one thing for me.

When Panditji calls
you to Bombay, say yes.

Why will Panditji call me to Bombay?

Perfect timing.

Pick up the phone and say yes.

I will tell you the
rest of the things later.

Hello.

'Sir, PMO had called.'

What does he want?

'Sir, on the 4th of next month,'

'he wants you in Bombay.'

'He has sent you an invitation,'

'for the inauguration of the
nuclear reactor in Trombay.'

Sir, an applicant has
come for an interview.

Govind, if he is like your other
applicants, then I am not interested.

Sir, meet him once.
He seems quite interesting.

He has come from far. From South.

Ramanathan, do you have some time?

I have a meeting to attend at CSIR.

A.P.J. Abdul Kalam.

The list of institutes
that have rejected you...

...is as big as your name.

Who mentions rejections in his resume?

That's a bit eccentric even for me.

Sir. I have heard
so much about you, sir.

Anyway, you would have
come to know about it.

How would I have come to know about it,
my friend?

Sir, you know everybody everywhere.

I appreciate the honesty, Kalam...

...but your grades are rather low.

You don't have the dean's
recommendation letter.

Leave alone the dean, you don't have...

...anybody's recommendation letter.

It says that your dream
was to join the IAF...

...but you couldn't get through.

So tell me, my friend,
why should I hire you?

Sir, it doesn't mention that
there were only eight seats in IAF.

And I stood 9th.

Sir, on paper my record is ordinary.

But in college I had
built my own glider, sir.

India's first glider.

Despite building India's first glider...

...nobody gave you
a recommendation letter?

Sir, CV Raman sir took you in IISc...

...because you had
a recommendation letter...

...or because you had the potential...

...to perform India's first
balloon experiment?

Vikram, it's Homi's call.

It's urgent.

We will continue this interview.

Yeah.

Kalam.

Where are you going?

Sir, I cannot join PRL.

You covered a long journey
from Madras to Ahmedabad.

You completed 25 formalities.

You waited the whole day to meet me.

And now, you are saying you
don't want to join the institute?

Sir, you are not working
on your rocket program now, right?

Well, not currently.

Sir. Sir, I respect you a lot.

Because of your lectures,
your papers and your vision...

...I mustered the courage
to come here, sir.

But, sir, here I am seeing
that like everybody else...

...you have also taken
your dream project...

...and put it in one box and shut it.

Sir. I will take your leave, sir.

There will be one more
rejected centre in my resume.

But no problem, sir.

Mr. Kalam.

You are still here.

I thought you must have boarded...

...the train to Madras by now.

No, sir. The train is in the evening.

Evening.

Sir, I am also thinking where to go next.

Go somewhere in the west.

Sit. Sit.

Sit.

Lot of space programs picking up.

I was also thinking of
starting a certain program.

Something of a scientific
committee sorts.

What program, sir?

India's first space program.

Really?

Ya.

I thought I will hire
some young scientists...

...who have the hunger and drive...

...who want to do something new...

...who land up at their dream
interview and then reject it themselves.

Do you know any such insane person?

Sir, now you are pulling my leg.

Sir, I will be honoured to join you.

Can I offer you a position?

Sir.

Mr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam.

Welcome to India's first space program.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you so much.

Gentlemen, welcome to Trombay.

Welcome to the AEE.

On this historic day, India...

I am sorry.

Welcome to Asia's first
nuclear reactor's launch.

Sir.

- Yes.
- It means...

...now electricity will also be produced.

No. It's a research reactor.

The path from nuclear
reactor to electricity...

...is a bit longer than your expectation.

But you can say that the
successful launch of this...

...swimming pool reactor
will be the first step towards...

...energy independence.

And we will be far
ahead of other countries.

Yes.

Sir, as per my research,
it's a highly unstable reaction.

Are you prepared for any untoward events?

Apart from irreversible
radiation poisoning...

...I think you should be fine.

I am joking.

- Or am I?
- Sorry.

I am joking, gentlemen.

Everything will be a 100% safe...

...except maybe for this gentleman.

Rest of the questions after the launch.

Thank you.

- There is a small problem.
- What problem?

Mathur, we ourselves checked
everything in the morning.

Perhaps we shouldn't have done that.

What do you mean by control
rods are not detecting fuel heating?

- Why? What happened?
- I don't know, Homi.

Seems like something
is wrong with the testing.

We are trying to figure it out.

We are unable to control
the power of the reactor.

I don't think we can turn it on.

We will have to check the core grid.

The core grid is inside
a 10 meter deep pool.

Yeah.

Yeah. It means,
it will take hours to empty it...

...check it and refill it.

Look, we have an idea.

What if we start at 100 KW?

No, full capacity.

Homi, please be practical.

We can operate without
the control rods...

- ...by inserting one fuel element.
- No. Full capacity.

If it doesn't work at full capacity...

...it's better that it
at least starts at limited capacity.

Do you get Cherenkov glow
at 100 KW capacity, Mathur?

Obviously not.

But that's just a fucking
presentation, Homi.

And that fucking presentation, Mathur...

...that fucking glow is everything.

In a swimming pool reactor
that doesn't actually give power.

Do you think the reporters
or Raza will ignore...

...the big 1 MW button?

What do we do?

We will have to operate
the rods manually.

What?

- Wait, Homi.
- Sir.

Hold on.

- Are you mad?
- No, not yet.

You know that's not possible, Homi.

Why? Why isn't it possible?

That's because we will have
to perfectly coordinate the teams.

- We will do it.
- And even if the miracle does take place...

...all control rods'
sensors are not damaged, right?

- Mr. Mathur.
- Hold on.

- It's very important.
- This is also very important.

Look. If we operate it manually...

...and if a sensor
functions automatically...

...all the calculations will go wrong.

It's not possible.

- Then there is only one way.
- What are you doing, Homi?

- Homi sir.
- No, Homi, no.

- Homi sir.
- What is it?

Sir, Panditji has entered Trombay...

...and Raza sir has also come with him.

Go home. You are fired.

Mathur, handle it.

Actually, wait.
Wait. Wait. You get me a screwdriver.

- Yes, sir.
- Atulya, I need...

Mathur!

Mathur!

Don't forget the garlands.

- Atulya.
- Yes, sir.

- The hydraulic mechanism...
- Yes, sir.

...for the control grids.

Make sure it's off.

I don't want them coming
on for the next 10 minutes.

Give it to Mr. Raza.

Enough. Enough.

Give him more.

- He is like kin.
- Enough.

- Give him some more.
- Enough. Enough.

- Very good. Very good.
- Hey!

Panditji, Homi is just a bit occupied.

He might just be a tad bit late.

Just routine checks.

Aren't five years enough, Mr. Mathur?

You know how he is, Panditji.

Yes. Always the perfectionist.

Thank you. Panditji, let's go.

Sir. Sir, this is really dangerous, sir.

Do you doubt my technical
abilities or my swimming?

- Sir, please. Just think with a calm mind.
- We just need to remove the sensors.

- Yes, sir.
- It's easy. It's very easy.

Sir.

You wanted the screwdriver.

You are rehired.

Sir, the positions
of the control rods are...

I5, 11 and 14.

- See you soon.
- Yes, sir.

Hopefully.

Mr. Shastri, please have tea.

Have you invited us for tea, Mathur?

Panditji, any moment now.

Just...

40 seconds.
Why isn't he coming up?

90 seconds.

Panditji...

...I admit I have never made a reactor.

But what could be the
final check of something...

...that can be started with a switch?

The switch must have got damaged.

I feel bad to see you waiting like that.

- I will go with Mathur and see...
- Homi.

Bhai

Sorry for the delay, gentlemen.

- All fine?
- Still alive.

If you would follow me, gentlemen.

Shall we go, Mr. Raza?

Seems like the switch
has started working.

This is the main control panel on deck.

But actually, the magic
is happening in that room.

The pool is about eight meters deep.

Do you see the core
grid there, at the centre?

This way, brother.

Will you do the honours?

Atulya sir.

- Yeah!
- Yeah!

Yes! Yes!

'Double good. Good one. Good one'.

'Boys'.

Brother.

'We have done it'.

'Brilliant'.

'Yeah'.

Yes!

This is a historic day for our country...

...because we have taken an important
step towards self-reliance.

'Wow'.

'Yeah'.

And this glowing reactor
made in India will be called...

...Apsara.

Do you want to take a dip, Homi?

It's very dangerous.

It's beautiful.

Really impressive.

Thank you, Raza.

So finally, you did it.

I didn't have much expectation from you.

Come. Sit.

- No. No.
- Do you want a drink?

- Do you drink?
- No. No. No.

I just felt like seeing it again.
So I came here.

I knew, I would find you here.

Today is your day.

Your day. Homi.

Cherish the moment.

I will see you soon.

And honestly congratulations.

Raza, why...why do we do this?

- What?
- This...it's been 15 years.

15 years is a long time.

AEC board needs you.

We could use your expertise.

Is some radiation leaking?

B*****d.

Actually, I came this close.

I thought so.

Think about it.

The country's best scientific
minds should all work together.

Country's best scientific minds.

And AEC wants to work with me.

We need you.

- What are you drinking?
- Whiskey.

Do you want?

Why not?

Ice?

No ice.

Thank you.

Cheers.

To Apsara.

To Apsara.

To Apsara.

She looks really happy.

- She does, doesn't she?
- Yes.

Come sit.

I will just come.

Where did he go?

The ceremony is just beginning.

These boys I tell you.

Mrinalini, I have always told you...

...you are much too good
to be with a rocket scientist.

Hello, Kamla.

Hello, Vikram.

I knew you would be here.

I don't know.
Perhaps I shouldn't have come.

Why? Why do you think like that?

Please don't feel that way.

You are a part of the family and...

...I am really glad you are here.

Homi didn't come?

He said he will come.

But...I don't know.

This ceremony is called
'Warding off the evil eye'.

The groom's mother wards
off the evil eye on the bride.

It's to ward off the evil.

Now they are going to break eggs.

I can't stand the smell of eggs.

Drink up.

Don't feel that way.

Kamla!?

What a pleasant surprise!

I didn't know you were
going to be here today.

Mrinalini...

Yes, I was just..to.

Kamla is here for some work.

The traders' association meeting.

She was here for that.

So I invited her for the wedding.

Will you also make Kamla like yourself?

Come. Let's enjoy the wedding.

No, I am really fine over here.

Come. You are like family. Come.

After this they will
throw rice at each other.

The one who throws
first will rule the house.

Homi.

What's happening?

Is someone getting married?

I am glad you came.

She looks familiar.

She does make for a pretty bride,
doesn't she?

That she does.

Honestly how are you feeling?

I am great.

I love weddings.

Why didn't you tell her?

There was always enough to
make me keep coming back to her.

Not quite enough to make her stay.

Well, I guess the poets
aren't right after all.

It's not all about love.

'Sputnik 1.
The first artificial earth satellite...'

'...was launched into an
elliptical low earth orbit.'

'A wondrous achievement for mankind.'

Did you hear?

'The news came in just now
in a broadcast by Moscow radio.'

'And it confirms that they
have successfully launched...'

'...the world's first earth satellite.'

'Sputnik 1.'

'Which in Russian
means fellow traveler.'

'It reached an elliptical
low earth orbit.'

'This is indeed a wondrous
achievement for mankind.'

'As we finally venture into space.'

'Opening a bright new
chapter in mankind's conquest...'

'...of the natural environment.'

What, sir?

First time.

It happens.

- Good morning, brother.
- Good morning, sir.

My mad scientists.

And who is this young man?

Sir, that's A.P.J. Abdul Kalam.

One of the brightest
minds of his generation.

That's exactly what
he had told me about you.

We tend to exaggerate when
we want something, brother.

Homi.

What is it that you want now?

We need a quick approval.

Vikram has got a proposal.

India's space program, sir.

That's enough of jokes now...

...but let's get down
to some serious talks.

Brother, we are serious.

Panditji, India needs
its own indigenous space program.

Currently our needs
are something else, Vikram.

There are real problems
that we are fighting.

And the solution...

Is in space exploration?

- Yes.
- Perhaps, not immediately.

But definitely in the long term, sir.

Telecommunications.

Satellite navigations.

Weather mapping. Meteorology.

All of this will be possible.

Our telecommunications and satellites...

...are not for entertainment.

It will be used to provide information...

...to farmers in famine areas.

It will be a big boon for
the agricultural industry, sir.

We have also identified
an ideal site for this, sir.

It's a small fishing
village called Thumba...

...very close to Trivandrum.

It's also right on the magnetic equator.

We won't be able to justify
this ambitious project, gentlemen.

Neither in parliament
nor on behalf of the people.

Homi, you know that.

Sir...can we justify it in
the name of national security?

What do you mean?

Sir, maybe parliament has no
interest in predicting weather patterns.

But they will be interested in
strengthening the country's military.

Search and rescue operations.

Navigation and data analysis.

Missile development.

It's all linked to space research, sir.

"Indian National Committee for..."

For Space Research.

INCOSPAR.

I can only give you a recommendation,
gentlemen.

But...the proposal must
go through the CSIR.

- Certainly.
- Certainly, sir.

Unlike the Russians, we are a democracy.

- Absolutely.
- And let me tell you...

...the odds are still against us, Vikram.

Mr. Kalam.

That's a risk we are
willing to take, sir.

After all, we are your mad scientists.

Now it's time to match
steps with the world.

Now sky cannot be our limit.

It must only be our beginning.

At least today you should
have cut your hair, Kalam.

Sir, I was thinking of growing
it a little longer.

So what news of Panditji?

Sir, I got a call from Delhi.

He might not be able to come.

And Homi?

He is not coming.

I thought you knew.

I am sure he has a pretty
good reason to miss this.

Sir, I have bad news.

Today in the morning the Chinese...

...have crossed the LoC.

We are at war.

- Hello.
- 'Sarabhai.'

Hi, Homi.

'I need you in Bombay.

Why? What happened?

'We are at war.'

What happened, sir?

'As per the latest news,
the Chinese army...'

'...has attacked the Indian army.'

'The attacks took place
at Aksai Chin Valley...'

'...and Namka Chu river simultaneously.'

'China attacked the
Gurkha Rifle Regiment...'

'...moving northwards
and even open fired on them.'

The Indian posts of Dhola and
Khinzemane along the McMahon line...

...in the NEFA have fallen
to the Chinese yesterday.

What are you saying, Homi?

What is all this?

Gentlemen, it's the proposal
to make India's first 'atom bomb'.

As members of the country's
most respected scientific council...

...no doubt, we should contribute to
war efforts in every way possible.

Yes.

But while staying within
the limits of peace policies...

...not by building an atom bomb.

We can end this war.

And we can stop any other country
from ever even thinking of...

...attacking us again.

But for that, I need all of you.

Done enough.

'Homi, how can you in
good conscience do this?'

You may not trust me,
but I trust you.

Please trust me.

What you're doing isn't right.

The consequences will be very ugly.

I hope you remember this.

You're blind, Vikram.

We are at war.

Do you know what they call a
soldier who deserts their battalion?

Fugitive!

Traitor!

So be it, Homi.

But I won't join hands
with you to destroy our country.

Consider this my
resignation from AEC.
