Yaanam

About This Movie

Yaanam, a 2022 documentary, dives into India’s ambitious Mars Orbiter Mission, known as Mangalyaan. What’s really striking here is that it’s the first science documentary ever made in Sanskrit, which adds a unique cultural layer to an already fascinating subject. The film offers a glimpse into the intricate workings of ISRO and showcases the brilliant minds behind this monumental achievement. The pacing is thoughtful, allowing viewers to absorb the complexity of space exploration without feeling rushed. It’s not just about numbers and rockets; it captures the human spirit behind the science, blending history with contemporary achievement. The visuals are compelling, though traditional documentary style—it's more about the narrative than flashy effects, which I find refreshing.
