Given the theme of courage, the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne will host the officially Australian premiere of the film on Independence Day at HOYTS Chadstone in Melbourne which will incidentally be the first festival premiere for the film.

The sci-fi is a celebration of indomitable human spirit, woman power and patriotic fervour, all rolled in one. Akshay, himself, has gone on record to call it the most moving film of his career. Loosely based on the story of the scientists at the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), who contributed to the Mars Orbiter Mission in 2014, the film is making waves already before release. The stellar cast headlined by Akshay Kumar and Vidya Balan also stars Taapsee Pannu, Sonakshi Sinha, Nithya Menon and Sharman Joshi. Designed as a commercial potboiler, the film is an inspiring story that will resonate with the Indian audiences overseas.
It is unusual for a commercial film of this scale to premiere at a festival on the eve of its domestic release but IFFM was steadfast in their commitment to bringing heartwarming stories to the Australian audience.
