Should the launch simulation

be successful today,

the review committee
can proceed with locking

the Chandrayaan-3 profile.

I will push forward
the budget request

so that on February 1st,

when the Finance Minister
announces the budget,

we can show the world

that India will be the first country

to reach the lunar south pole.

Come on, Dr. Ramaiah.

Let's go to the Moon.

Trajectory check complete.

All parameters within tolerance.

Proceeding with final countdown.

Initiating launch simulation.

Five.

Four.

Three.

Two.

One.

Thrust nominal.

Stage one burn proceeding
as planned.

Guidance stable.

Pitch program on nominal trajectory.

Telemetry steady.

All sensors reporting
nominal values.

Flight director, thrust profile
not meeting nominal acceleration.

Trajectory deviation detected.

Overall velocity low.

What's wrong?

Checking.

Payload weight
higher than expected.

Ascends lower than planned.

What's going on?

Telemetry confirms
increased mass.

Telemetry confirms
overcapacity issues.

- What?
- Because of the modifications

made after the failure,

Chandrayaan's weight increased, sir.

But how? There isn't even
an orbiter this time.

The legs and joints of Vikram
have been strengthened.

And...

we've also added some components.

Uh...

It's the weight of a guarantee.

- How much?
- 450 kilograms, sir.

Wow!

Our genius scientists

have failed the launch
just to guarantee a landing.

It is just a simulation.

The whole point of it is
to spot unseen errors.

And what's the point
of my coming here?

To see these errors?

You've put in a ₹75 crore demand
for the design, haven't you?

You'll get that

only when the review committee
approves the mission.

The simulation has failed.

How am I supposed to get
the budget approved?

Reduce the weight.

Otherwise, just sit at home
and watch Russia get to the Moon

while singing "Ra-Ra-Rasputin."

What is the current weight
of the rover?

Approximately 26 kilos, sir.

And what about
the rover's ancillary stuff?

I mean, what's the weight
for putting it in the lander?

600 kilos, sir. But why?

Can we do away with Pragyan?

But, sir, the rover
was the heart of the mission.

Why should we give up
a major discovery

just to win the landing race, sir?

It's not about discovery, Yamini.

It's about geopolitics!

- As the chief, I have to--
- But, sir, first it was Arjun

and now you're asking
to remove the rover.

This is not the right solution.

Do you have another solution?

If you don't have one, don't take
the moral high ground here.

Please.

Now, it's time to be realists,

not scientists.

What's the status
of the resignation?

Just sending the resignation
wasn't enough, Madhu.

I'll have to go
and explain in person

why I don't want to be
a scientist at ISRO.

Arjun.

You sure you don't want
to wear your jacket?

I'll put it on.

Listen.

They're your college friends.

They won't grill you
about the landing.

So, just cheer up, okay?
And enjoy the party.

Hmm?

Hey, so you finally
found the time, scientist!

Hey, Rohan.

- The place looks amazing!
- Oh, thank you.

I'm so glad you could come.

- How are you? Great to meet you!
- Hi. All well.

Same here.
And congratulations, it's beautiful.

Thank you so much.

I've been calling him for so long.

But he kept putting it off
because of his project!

What happened finally?

The project failed.

Come on, man. I'm just kidding.

- Yeah.
- Come.

I wanted to introduce you

- to my friends.
- Yeah, of course.

Guys, this is Arjun, Madhvi.

- Hi.
- This is Meenal.

She's getting worn out
in consulting.

This is Awais.

- Hi, Awais.
- Founder of Pixxel.

- Hello.
- It's a space tech company

that's building a constellation
of imaging satellites

around the Earth.

And this here is my friend, Arjun.

He's absolutely rocking it
at ISRO as a scientist.

ISRO? Very nice.

Seems like we're both
sending stuff to space.

Say what you want,

but the real deep-tech work
is being done

by your friend Arjun and Pixxel.

All right, man. If you say so.

You okay?

Don't worry.

Even you will imagine a future
after ISRO. For sure.

There was so much to achieve.

I was an idiot
for wanting to be a scientist.

It's good that I resigned.

- I'll get a drink.
- Let's get some stronger drinks.

- Yeah.
- Yeah, please.

After you.

Rohit.

- Madhvi, he's resigned?
- Hmm?

Well, totally understandable.

They probably made it tough for him
after the Chandrayaan failure.

Anyhow...

You tell me.

How are you?
What have you been up to?

Nothing fancy.
Same old stuff.

Shaping the worldview
of seventh and eighth graders.

Some want to become founders
like you and make money,

while others want
to serve the nation.

You don't have to spend
your whole life

in government offices
to serve the nation.

Start-ups create huge wealth
for the employees. Am I right?

Absolutely right.

I've been telling you forever

to move on
from these government jobs.

Russia, Europe
and other space agencies

are way ahead of where we are.

Come work for me.

- Yeah.
- What do you mean?

Our work culture is quite positive.

No blame games at all.

And you have a solid background.

You'll get all the glory
in the office

for your experience
as an ML scientist.

Rohan, I...

I have no experience
in your line of work.

Oh, come on.

I figured out your talent ages ago
while copying your assignments.

I'll connect you with my CTO.

You'll be up to speed in no time.

- The CTO already?
- Yes.

Just think about it.

We've raised a lot of funds.

Your CTC will be in crores.

10x.

- It's huge, right?
- Yeah.

You two should discuss it.

Tell me in a week.

A week.

Cheers!

New recruits!
ISRO is known for doing big things.

In 2017,

we broke the world record
by launching 104 satellites at once.

But now we're counting on you,

the next generation,
who will take it forward.

Hi. I'm Jairam Shetty.

I'm a government hardware engineer.

And I designed the Pragyan rover
for Chandrayaan.

Thank you, thank you.

I look forward
to learning from you as well.

Now, before we start,
I want to ask you a question.

In Chandrayaan, what role

does the Pragyan rover play?
Anybody?

Erm...

Yes?

Sir, the rover could have
left the Vikram lander

and explored the Moon's surface
for Lithium and Helium-3.

It could have even produced
rocket fuel,

aiding progress in space.

Great answer.

Just one small change.

Not, "could have."

Say, "It will."

Even on the mission
with Chandrayaan-3.

Putting past failures behind them,

they are fully engaged in preparing
for Chandrayaan-3.

But the key question is,
will the government

show faith and release funds
in the budget,

or will it just make them wait?

And if that happens,

Russia is almost certain
to reach the Moon before India.

Hmm.

Did you track ISRO news all day

or think about what to do next?

Why even think?

Rohan even sent
the offer letter to me.

- What?
- Hmm.

Are you serious?

You sure you want to do this?

Of course.

This 2 BHK, a small car,
petty blame games...

How long?

I mean, I can do better
than all of this.

Right?

I'll have a big house, a big car,

a life like Rohan,
and you'll finally be proud of me.

What?

What do you mean?

What are you saying, Arjun?

I've always been proud of you.

Besides, you always say
Rohan is a phony.

He keeps trying to poach you
all the time.

But the offer is real, right?

He wasn't simply rambling
at the party.

He really wants me, Madhu.

Yeah, but is this
what you really want?

Or is it just the money
that he's offering?

I just don't get
why you're against all of this.

- Against? I--
- You know everything.

You know what I'm going through.

Arjun, Yamini ma'am
personally called and clarified

that your name not being on the list
was a genuine mistake.

Forget about it. Let it go.

Let it go?

Ever since the C2 failure,

everyone's been on my case
about my mistakes.

What about that, Madhu?

I'm sure the work and work culture
at this start-up

will be better than here.

If this start-up
really mattered to you,

you'd be reading up on it
rather than watching ISRO news.

So, don't fool me.

I know where your heart is.

My heart is where I'm respected
as a scientist, Madhu.

All right.

Jairam has been
calling continuously.

Please just call him back.

Sir.

Sir, you know we are not doing
the right thing by removing Pragyan.

Sometimes, what's more important
than doing the right thing is

doing things right.

Sir, during Chandrayaan-1,

Doctor sahab had
encouraged a young scientist

to pursue the discovery of water
on the Moon.

That discovery made him
the VSSC chief.

And today, he's the chief of ISRO.

Why is he not doing the same thing
for other scientists, sir?

A scientist's true glory lies
in their discoveries, right?

Enough, Yamini.

We can't keep discussing
the same thing every day.

Unless you find a solution,

the rover will have to be removed.

In that case,
challenge accepted, sir.

I will get it done
by the review meeting.

I hope you do, Yamini.

I really hope so.

Hey, watch out!

Okay. Next team, get ready.

Yes, sir.

Our sounding rocket
went up just like that.

Sir, you're here?

Sorry, I couldn't meet you
for the past two weeks.

Been a bit tied up.

The resignation process here
is so paperwork-heavy,

I could retire
before it even gets approved.

- May I?
- Sure.

Some really interesting ideas here.

How much weight reduction
is possible?

Sir, around 100 kilograms.

- 100.
- But what good are these ideas, sir?

The scientist who could
execute them is leaving.

What time is
the review meeting tomorrow?

Sir, it's at 2:00 p.m. tomorrow.

When is your exit interview?

At 11 o'clock in the morning.

Shall we hang out later
in the evening?

No, sir.

Orientation's happening tomorrow.

You gave a speech last time.

You inspired people
to become scientists

and now you're moving on.

Okay! Tara!

- Your team!
- Yes, sir.

Sir, we've designed the nose cone
of this sounding rocket

with improved aerodynamics.

This could also increase
the launch capacity.

Its shape
reduces drag significantly,

which improves fuel efficiency.

The materials used
are also composite.

Light-weight, but extremely durable.

Scientific advisor
Dr. Mohanty held a meeting

with the Finance Minister.

Is ISRO going to receive the budget
for Chandrayaan-3 this year?

We'll find out in the next 48 hours.

I'm sorry. I'm late, Arjun.

Oh, I just...

I'll get it.

I'm sorry, Arjun.
I haven't slept all night.

In a failed effort to save
the Pragyan rover.

Yet, it was of no use.

Did you learn Russian
during your notice period?

I was just looking at
the pointed nose cone rocket.

What's this for?

Seeing the Russian agency's
arrogance,

I was wondering
when we will have an agency

that gets an unlimited budget.

Let's start!

Jairam, let's not wait.
Just start.

The proposal suggests taking

the Pragyan rover off
the Chandrayaan-3 mission.

Sir, without Pragyan,

Chandrayaan-3
will be 600 kilograms lighter

and 5% cheaper.

In this situation, this option
is in the nation's best interest.

Sorry, sir, but the nation's
interest will be served

only if Pragyan goes to the Moon
and makes a scientific discovery.

Dr. Ramaiah,
this is your project director.

What is she saying?

Yamini, the proposal itself
is without the rover.

As per your permission,

I have found another solution
to reduce the weight.

What permission?

What solution?

The fix is to take out
the 5th engine

from the Vikram lander.

Sir, that alone
will reduce 300 kilograms.

But by turning off the four engines

and starting the fifth engine,

only then will a soft landing
be possible.

If I use only four engines
and run these two engines

at half capacity,
like a coffee machine,

we can achieve a soft landing.

Sir, this regulatory mechanism

has already been demonstrated
in the debris manoeuvre.

Even then,
it only cuts 300 kilograms.

Sir, we can cut 100 kilograms
in cabling as well.

I conducted a new study
together with the trainees.

Dr. Ramaiah.

What game are you playing
by passing these files around?

That still only
reduces 400 kilograms.

That's 200 kilograms
less than before.

If you and your team
don't have a solution,

then maybe we should just give up

and take the rover out.

This is the only way
to outmanoeuvre Russia

and win at geopolitics.

This is the only solution!

There's another solution, sir.

What?

The new design is similar
to this one.

The rocket's capacity can increase
from 200 to 300 kilograms.

Sir, this is the new
"nose cone" design.

Jairam has also prepared
an experimental report on this.

Even Russia has been using this type
of design in their rockets.

Our American vendors
are ready to supply the materials.

How much is that?

600 kilograms.

If we're lucky, 700, sir.

Dr. Mohanty.

Looks like

my scientists just aren't sold

on taking the rover out.

Because my team
believes in discovery.

And you'll agree with me, sir.

A scientist's true glory

lies in their discoveries.

And in a scientist's glory,

lies the nation's glory.

So, we shall lock
the Chandrayaan-3 mission profile

with Pragyan.

Still want an approval
on your resignation? Hmm?

Well done, Yamini.

Today, you have not just succeeded

as a scientist,
but also as a leader.

I know this is a bit last-minute,
but if possible,

you should give

the speech this evening.

Good job, Arjun.

When I was as young as my daughter,

I loved

to stay late in the library
to read books.

One night, I was so lost in my book

that I came home very late.

It was very dark

and my bicycle crashed into a ditch.

I was hurt pretty badly.

My mom got scared
just by looking at me.

She said that
there wasn't any need

to repair the bicycle.
Get rid of it.

And Dad told me to stop going
to the library from then on.

I didn't let
Mom and Dad's fear get to me.

In fact, I went to the library
to look for solutions.

One day,
I came across a physics book

that explained how moving a magnet
around a coil of wire

can generate electricity.

I thought,

what if I apply this
scientific principle

of Michael Faraday

to the bicycle's motion?

That was it!

I joined the dynamo
to the bicycle's wheel,

and as I started pedalling,
a small flickering light

started showing me
the way home from the library.

As scientists,

your bicycles will break loads
of times in your journey.

And it will leave you disappointed.

But you have to learn
to take it in your stride.

Because every unfortunate incident

shows you a new opportunity.

It pushes you
to discover new knowledge,

to unlock new wisdom,

and to stay curious.

Isn't it why we became scientists?

To light paths of humanity

with bulbs of wisdom.

Yamini,

mission profile
has been submitted to the FM.

An important announcement.

In the past week,

the speed at which this pandemic
has spread across the world

is now making its presence felt
in our country as well.

Taking note of this,

the Government of India

has decided to halt
all activities and work

across the nation.

We urge everyone to stay at home,

take good care of your own health

and the health of your loved ones.

For this nationwide restriction,

the government
has also given a name...

Lockdown!
