Plot

The series is an intriguing tale of four female scientists who through their brilliance and dedication chart the journey of Indian Space Agency's Mars Orbiter Mission. [5] Mission Over Mars begins with a disappointing moment as ISRO's namesake ISA fails in its Chandravimaan mission and the entire blame falls on the shoulders of Moushmi Ghosh. It touches a nerve given Chandrayaan-2's Vikram lander losing control after it landed on the Moon's South Pole. Moushmi shines through as she plays a hot-headed scientist, forced to work with her ex-husband, a fellow scientist at the same space centre. Clad in crisp cotton saris, Moushmi Ghosh is dedicated to her dream but forgets to remember her only daughter's birthday. Nandita Hariprasad is her opposite—a calm and quiet mission coordinator who is a helicopter mom to her 18-year-old son.

The series has been criticised for showing men in the workplace as predators. The underlying narrative of the series has been men hating and glorifying women being superior over men. [6]
