Drama154 min
Framed by a television interview, the film follows Indian rocket scientist Nambi Narayanan from his student days at Princeton to his work at ISRO, where his contributions to liquid-fuel propulsion are overtaken by a false espionage accusation. Madhavan is Narayanan, tracing the path from ambitious engineer to public suspect as a national scandal gathers around him. Simran appears alongside him in the family sphere, while Shah Rukh Khan turns up as the TV host drawing out Narayanan’s account. The story moves between research labs, official scrutiny, and the personal cost of being branded a traitor.
