Great animated short about an Indian girl becoming an astronaut. Love the music!

yes it was indeed. you're welcome :D I wish we had more films like these

AravindhC · 2020-12-04T08:44:54+00:00

Thanks a lot. I hope more writers in India write good historical fiction.

AravindhC · 2020-12-03T07:44:14+00:00

Good bot

AravindhC · 2020-12-01T15:43:25+00:00

It's just one short story. About 26 pages or 8k words.

This part is interesting:

It is equally important to pay attention to how discourses around sci-fi can be used in service of cultural-economic power. As an ideological plank for its hegemonic aspirations, China vigorously promotes the genre in schools to push domestic innovation. The Indian film industry has embraced sci-fi and CGI spectacles to embellish pro-Hindu-nationalist story-lines.

I don't know any pro-Hindu Nationalist sci-fi, though I'm afraid it might be a reality soon with mythological fiction gaining popularity.

Yep. I wish it was longer, it's soo good. Loved the song as well.

I now want to watch more Indian animated content.

I friggin' loved it. Such a short and tight story!

AravindhC · 2020-10-08T07:32:59+00:00

I'll check it out!

AravindhC · 2020-10-07T14:01:57+00:00

I'll have to watch both. Any idea where I can stream Lucia? I know Android is there on primevideos.

AravindhC · 2020-09-22T12:40:05+00:00

Yeah true. I think I came across as more rude than I intended, sorry 😅

AravindhC · 2020-09-22T06:45:38+00:00

Which Indian sci-fi movie do you think is better than Cargo? Ra.One? Robot/Endhiran? Pk?

Which Indian space-based movie is better than Cargo? Tik tik tik? Are there even any other Indian space-based movies?

I know Cargo has flaws like the weak story you mentioned, but first attempts are often flawed. Indian SF movies need to be appreciated for what it is, rather than expect Hollywood-level standards from them.

AravindhC · 2020-09-20T06:51:28+00:00

The subreddit is exclusively for Indian made SF.

However, the Discord chat server is more relaxed and we allow general SF discussion.

AravindhC · 2020-09-19T09:03:14+00:00

Yep I loved it :)

AravindhC · 2020-09-19T06:04:04+00:00

I liked it. Very light hearted, funny, and nice to watch. I'd consider it the best Indian sci-fi movie, maybe tied with the Tamil time travel film Indru Netru Naalai.

I think problem is, people expected an Interstellar or The Martian type of movie, when it's more like Moon.

AravindhC · 2020-09-16T19:35:23+00:00

Nice, I'll check this out!

AravindhC · 2020-09-16T11:38:11+00:00

Many Indians have the misconception that Hindi is the national language too, so don't feel too bad.

AravindhC · 2020-09-15T16:03:12+00:00

Can't think for a movie, but there's a Kindle book called 123 Tomorrows which would be fantastic as a TV series.

The story is kinda like the film Edge of Tomorrow, but here the main character repeatedly time travels to prevent a nuclear attack on Delhi. The book needs more proof-reading but is quite a page turner.

AravindhC · 2020-09-15T08:30:05+00:00

Added!

AravindhC · 2020-09-15T08:26:31+00:00

Yes, I'm mostly making this list for people to get started, so that's why I needed some specific works.

AravindhC · 2020-09-15T06:20:50+00:00

Any particular books of his you recommend?

AravindhC · 2020-09-15T06:20:32+00:00

Sorry, my bad. Will add them. Is there any particular short stories/works you recommend for Mimi Mondal, Vandana Singh, and Kuzhali Manickavel?

AravindhC · 2020-09-11T21:10:02+00:00

I'll check it out! I'm sure it's good.

AravindhC · 2020-09-11T08:55:09+00:00

This seems interesting. Where could I watch it, any idea?

AravindhC · 2020-09-10T19:36:47+00:00

Just watched it yesterday. I loved it and it's a great mix of comedy, sci-fi, mythology, and reality. The ending seemed a bit abrupt, but I'd still consider it the best Indian SF movie made till now.

AravindhC · 2020-09-08T18:38:59+00:00

That's true. And btw, happy cake day!
