The trailer of Parmanu: The Story of Pokhran hit today and it is brimming with thrills and victory. Here are four reasons the film will be worth your while…

Pride India
On the day when India has completed 20 years of the second Pokhran tests, JA Entertainment has released the long-awaited trailer for the upcoming film, Parmanu: The Story of Pokhran. The film instils a sense of pride in our country’s history as it took its place as a nuclear power among the handful of countries worldwide. While superpowers like America and China had conducted a battery of nuclear tests, India had been denied that freedom.

Secret Operation
The Parmanu mission had to be conducted under wraps, owing to the political and international climate of the time. It was only once it was successfully completed, that India’s victory was announced. The hurdles faced in managing this operation makes for some riveting moments onscreen.

Real life Honour
The film drives home the fact that whoever takes up the job of helping India achieve its nuclear status, would not get any rewards, medals or even designations. The film is a tribute to the unsung heroes, the team of military officers who actually go undercover as officials of the Archaeological Survey of India, to ensure the tests are conducted smoothly. As John himself points out, “Parmanu is an ode to the Army and scientists, who although ordinary people, truly accomplished extraordinary feats in the face of adversity to ensure that India finds its due place on the world nuclear map.”

Truly Heroic
John Abraham is the right mix of brain and brawn to carry this hefty film on his shoulders. As an army officer in the film, who helms the operation, he believes it is time for India to become a nuclear state and quietly declares, “We will no longer stay quiet out of fear; we will do it and sit in peace.” He essays the responsibility of carrying out a covert operation and ensuring its successful completion. Operation Shakti, as it was called, was carried out despite international pressure on India to not go forward with the tests.
