The missile and satellite has been made beautifully with the help of VFX. The makers has given serious thought about the small-small things in this film.

Music, Cinematography And Editing:

Amit Trivedi and Tanishq Bagchi music in this film forgettable. The background score was something that deserves an applause. The Cinematography work by Ravi Varman was brilliant, especially when he introduces every character one by one. The editing of this movie is good enough but it could have been much more tighter. There was no need of a song  especially Dil Mein Mars Hai in this film.

Direction:

1st time director in Bollywood, Jagan Shakti made a wonderful movie. He told the story is a very positive way and it looks soothing in every frame. His research to make this movie needs to be applauded. He made sure to teach us something as difficult as space in simple way.
