The movie depicting how, "Shivkar Bapuji Talpade", an Indian scholar who is supposed to have constructed and flown an unmanned air-plane in 1895.

Wiki link for - Shivkar Bapuji Talpade - <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shivkar_Bapuji_Talpade" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Shivkar Bapuji Talpade</a>

I feel very bad when I came to know about this fact (the invention) when I heard the news of movie being released. In the books I read during my schools days, why this description was not given? At least this person's name should have been quoted somewhere!

Let me know if anybody watched it? I am happy with the story, casting but expecting a bit more technical details about the air-plane "Marut-Sakha" invented by Shivkar.

Above all - Feeling proud, being an Indian and sharing a membership of clan, Shivkar was a member of! Salute to this unsung saga of this Hero! 😀

    This was discussed on CrazyEngineers: <a href="https://www.crazyengineers.com/threads/who-made-first-aeroplane.60873">Who Made First Aeroplane ?</a> . The movie, I heard, has done bad job of focusing on love story and keeping the main thing on #2.
