Space.com however, has a review of a recently released Bollywood film about India's rocket to Mars and those who worked to get it done, including the women with families who had to balance their families and their jobs.
yes, it's a fictionalized plot, not a documentary.
and did I mention, like most Bollywood films, it does include a dance sequence.
"Mission Mangal" also shows what life is like for the MOM scientists at home, which, while it doesn't accurately reflect the mission's real-life team, adds depth to the characters and shows how life for an Indian woman could conflict with life as a scientist.
