The season builds upon their friendship, sacrifice, and great determination and how everything led to India's first rocket launch; its emblematic of the journey of India as the country emerges into a new, post-war world.
Rocket Boys Season2
The story continues from 1964 with Homi Bhabha still hoping to make an atom bomb for India and Dr Vikram Sarabhai still dreaming of flying his rockets to space. However, both of them are faced with challenges from pacifists and auditors threatening budget cuts. Then there is also the CIA who would do anything to make sure India stays in its lane. The series charts the journey of these scientists, and then their men in Pokhran, 1974. A big majority of the second season focuses on the political turmoil in the lobbies of Teen Murti Bhawan, tussle with CIA and Vikram's bad marriage situation. There is rarely any rocket building montages, exciting science tuitions or scenes between Homi and Vikram that gave the first season all its flavour.
The heroes of the show are always human, believably vulnerable to provocations and not impervious to moments of weakness. This isn't an all-boys show. Regina Cassandra as Mrinalini Sarabhai, embodying assertive womanhood at home and in the world, has a significant presence in the plot.
Season 2 follows Bhabha as he tries to build the bomb, all the while trying to keep America at bay and navigating the threats by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), that does not want India to become a nuclear nation. It also follows Sarabhai as he is pushing to send rockets into space, while struggling to get funds approved from a country that is finding it difficult to feed its own people. We also see Indira Gandhi taking on the reigns and her rise to power.
Like the previous season, performances here are top notch, especially from Jim Sarbh and Ishwak Singh. Two imperfect men are laser-focused on their visions - creating a satellite programme to begin television broadcasts, launch a rocket and detonate the nuclear bomb. Sarabhai and Bhabha are friends, yet their personalities can't be poles apart. While Homi is flamboyant, Vikram is much milder. Homi always has a plan and is ready to execute it that very second, and Vikram is very calculative. Jim and Ishwak confidently carry Homi and Vikram on their shoulders, making us root for their friendship even as they don't see eye to eye on many things.
Rocket boys S2 spot the comeback of most of the Starcast of season 1, specially the major artist Jim Sarbh & Ishwak Singh who narrate the role Dr. Homi Jehangir Bhabha and Dr. Vikram Sarabhai, officially.
