Mission Mangal
After the failure of GSLV-F06 on 25 December 2010, due to a small mistake by Project Director Tara Shinde, Rakesh Dhawan, a fellow scientist working with her, takes the blame on her. The MoM (Mars Orbiter Mission) is regarded as an impossible mission by his co-workers due to its aim of reaching Mars with its tight budget. Eventually, the MoM satellite is finally launched on PSLV on 5 November 2013, and is named Mangalyaan and is successfully inserted into Earth's orbit.

This 2018 space adventure movie revolves around a satellite moving into the darker side of moon, and the crisis that one of the Indian satellites, Mihira has lost connection with the Space Station and is losing its speed. The system codes to make any repairs are known only to Dev (Varun Tej) - a passionate scientist at the station. Dev had quit the Space station five years ago - and this story forms a flashback.
Chand Par Chadayee
After landing on the Moon, the astronaut Anand and his associate Bhagu face off against many warriors and monsters from another planet. Chand Par Chadayee was directed by T. P.
