C A R G O For the cutest astronaut ever played by Shweta Tripathi just watch this exciting and encouraging Mythological-Sci-Fi film. She is supported equally brilliantly by Vikrant Massey who plays her senior. The story revolves around these two main characters.

Absolutely brilliantly designed space ship by Mayur Sharma is made even more believable by the atmosphere and ambiance created with a great sound design by Anish John.

Having grown up on 'Star Trek', ' Star Wars', 'Alien', 'Lost in Space', 'The Twilight Zone' and many other Sci-Fi tv shows and films, to watch an Indian Sci-Fi film brought me great delight and pleasure.

The filmmakers of this film should be congratulated for making this super risk of a film that it would have been for the Indian audiences. Hopefully it will inspire the Indian filmmakers to explore the realms of narrative universe or 'Brahmand' as we call it in Indian culture just like Starship Enterprise did. This film is a perfect example of how Sci-Fi genre can be merged with Indian stories and sensibilities and made palatable for the Indian audiences. We can have our quirky 'space chudails' and 'Daayans' and 'Rakshasa' and 'Daatiyas' and 'Daanavs' and 'Asuras'. The scope is endless. All we need is a cocktail of little inspiration and some imagination.

This film is one small step for India and a one giant leap for Indian cinema. My ratings: 6 (for the slow pacing) + 2 (1 each for the concept and the music in end credits!)

So..... 8/10 ******** WATCH IT!
