Actor Imran Khan’s first directorial venture, a short film Mission Mars: Keep Walking India released today on the video streaming website YouTube. The film is based on India’s historic achievement of sending a spacecraft to the red planet Mars on September 24, 2014, and is a tribute to India’s highly successful and applause-worthy Mars Orbiter Mission.
The short film stars Abhishek Saha, Prakash Belawadi and Sonali Sachdev in the lead roles. It is produced by Karan Johar under his Dharma Productions banner. The film is a part of Johnnie Walker The Journey campaign. The film is gripping and taut and keeps the audience’s attention in its grasp. Imran’s direction is concise, clear and lucid and the film does not disappoint.
The actors have all done a commendable job depicting their excitement as well as anxious feelings with such a difficult and important mission. At a time when there are numerous non-sensical films releasing by the dozen in Bollywood, Mission Mars: Keep Walking India comes as a brave and welcome change. If only the filmmakers and the audience take heed and change accordingly. With this film, Imran has proved that if he keeps at it he might just turn out to be a better director than an actor.
