Barmano tells the story of a complex covert operation carried out by India to test the nuclear weapon away from the eyes of the CIA, which monitors everything on our planet, but failed miserably in India.
The movie "parmanu" has received millions of hits and earned about 900 million Indian rupees.
The film was due to be released in December 2017, but was postponed and launched on the Netflix site in the summer of 2018.
The film was directed by Abhishek Sharma, starring John Abraham, Diana Pinti, Iranian Poman and Anuga Sat, and three authors contributed to scriptwriting.
Beginning of the story
The film begins with the presentation of the word "India 1998", the year New Delhi saw five nuclear tests, announcing its entry into the nuclear club.
The film, he says, is inspired by real events, but with many modifications, for military and other reasons for making it suitable for Bollywood cinema.
The film begins in 1995 with the nuclear engineer, whose role is John, plans to speed up a military nuclear test to stand up to powerful neighbors such as Pakistan and China, especially as the latter has completed more than 40 nuclear explosions.
The nuclear engineer was met with a kind of scorn and ridicule by the ministers, but an official later gave him another chance, giving him the green light to start the project.
Indeed, things went as planned, but US intervention spoiled everything when satellites spotted the test preparation, issued a stern warning, and the project collapsed.
After that failure, government officials were looking for a scapegoat to drive the engineer out of his job. In 1998, the Indian government changed and a new prime minister gave the engineer another chance.
Here the film began to accelerate, to put the Indians plan to cross the club and bypass the surveillance of the US intelligence, via satellite espionage, they prepared for the implementation of the nuclear test, at times when the moon does not pass over India, the "blind hours."
When the Americans became suspicious of the movements of the Indian army, they began to operate two observation satellites, and despite the difficulty of the mission, the Indians found a solution.
The Indian solution, represented in misleading the United States, triggered a crisis with Pakistan, where India has mobilized its troops towards the border with Pakistan in Kashmir, to erupt a major political crisis between the two countries, made the US intelligence directed its satellites that were monitoring the nuclear test to the Kashmir region where the Indian conflict Pakistan.
India did not lose the opportunity after the international community took the crisis to launch and complete its experiment, away from the eyes of the United States, to surprise the world by entering the nuclear club.
The failure of the CIA to predict India's nuclear tests was a "huge failure", not only because of satellite weakness, but also because of the failure to analyze images and the lack of secret sources inside India.
A project of decades
India began its nuclear project in the middle of the last century. India established the Nuclear Energy Authority in 1954, after paving the way for steps that began in 1948, one year after independence.
India established the first nuclear reactor in 1955 and New Delhi carried out the first bombing in 1974. It then said that for peaceful purposes it would then continue to develop its nuclear capabilities, but India's crucial nuclear history was in the mid-1990s.
Nuclear weapons appeared to be an indispensable tool in the face of powerful neighbors such as China and Pakistan.
Although the United States has contributed to supporting the peaceful nuclear program, it has been quick to impose sanctions on New Delhi following the nuclear tests.
Criticism
It may be one of the few Indian films in which Americans appear, but what is taking on the film is that it used footage from the news archive showing then-President Bill Clinton, and did not ask the film crew to hire an American actor to play the role of filmmaker, critics say.
The language of the film is full of national terms, in order to consolidate the image of the nuclear achievement that the Indians express their pride in, but critics, according to critics, focus on the Indian politicians and military in the nineties of the last century, the birthplace of great efforts began 40 years ago.
