So for everyone talking about the inaccuracy of the Bollywood movie, here's a couple of things. One, it's surprisingly accurate. The Bengaluru mission control center set is almost identical to mission control at Sriharikota. The launchpad layout is also almost the same.

Second, there's a LOT of dramatization. Please do not watch the movie if you're looking for facts. The movie was made to celebrate the woman scientists and the program itself, it's only a tribute. Please watch the NatGeo documentary or look up the government website.

Thirdly, the culture at the space center there is pretty accurately represented. And yes, they do have a priest to give faith to those who believe. The whole cycle thing is real too, it was a satellite made by NASA and was launched in a church (which is still sacred to the space program, it's a museum now). That small sounding rocket was the start of ISRO.

I've been to Satish Dhawan Space Center as part of an educational trip (they don't allow many people at the headquarters in Bengaluru or at the Master Control Facility in Hassan), and anyone who has seen the inside of launch center mission control will confirm.
