Nuclear weapons and Star Wars...
Parmanu: The Story of Pokhran
Directed by Abhishek Sharma, Parmanu: The Story of Pokhran is based on the nuclear bomb test explosions conducted by the Indian Army at Pokhran in 1998 under the leadership of India’s future President Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam during the time of PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s tenure. John Abraham plays the lead member of the Pokhran Nuclear test team.
Inspiration galore
This is the first time we got to see what happened in 1998. Such movies inspire our minds. After watching such films one respects the Indian Armed Forces and recognises its worth. Bhagat Singh with his son Siddharth
More the merrier
This is a brilliant movie. Mostly, John Abraham produces great films that relate with Indian masses and this film’s theme is good too. More of such films should be made. I’ll give it four stars. — Askshdeep Sharma, businessperson, with his wife Sarah Sharma
Nationalist spirit
Such films make us feel proud to be Indians and John Abraham’s acted really well. — Lavanya, student

The good and bad
It was a good movie, but it could have been a little better. It was a little boring in parts. — Angad, student
