I assume we don't want to disclose ISRO's operational capabilities, so the movie took some cinematic liberties and brought in the DRDO kid. But I was puzzled by the disdain shown towards DRDO, seemed uncalled for.

And the men in blue created more history today: a 2-1 ODI series win following the 2-1 test series win against Australia in Australia.
Also, Dhoni with a third consecutive half-century and second consecutive victory-fetching performance has effectively guaranteed his spot for the world cup.

First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, and then you win.
It's interesting that the ones that laugh loudest is often one's own (or ex-own). I wonder if this phenomenon happens in the Chinese diaspora and their think tank articles.
