Now, the question arises whether Rocket Boys season 2 is based on true story or real story or not. The answer is Yes. Rocket Boys season 2 is based on true story of operation smiling buddha initiated during Indira Gandhi’s rule. Rocket Boys season 2 is a real story of India's first successful nuclear bomb test that took place on 18 May 1974. From the trailer of Rocket Boys 2, it is somewhere clear that the story revolves around Dr. Vikram Sarabhai and Dr. Homi J. Bhabha’s contribution in nuclear tests and how some Indian politicians tried to stop it.
Dr. Homi J. Bhabha was known as the founder of the Indian Nuclear Mission, Dr. Vikram Sarabhai was involved in Rocket Satellites sent and Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam was known as the missile man of India. Dr. Vikram Sarabhai and Dr. Homi J. Bhabha were the main scientists involved in India’s first nuclear test. Rocket Boys Season 2 trailer shows how Prime Minister Indira Gandhi dodged America and CIA to carry out the nuclear test at the Pokhran base.
Apart from this, there is a heated argument shown between Dr. Vikram Sarabhai and Dr. Homi J. Bhabha due to the distribution of funds for their department. After Jawahar Lal Nehru’s death, Lal Bahadur Shastri was appointed as the PM who loved peace. To maintain good relations with other countries, he decided to put the nuclear test on hold. Lal Bahadur Shastri stopped funding for their department so that no nuclear tests are carried out. In contrary to this, when Indira Gandhi became the PM, her main aim was to make India nuclear power country. For the same, she cut down funds from Rocket and Satellite department and transferred them for nuclear missions. This created a drift between around Dr. Vikram Sarabhai and Dr. Homi J. Bhabha. At the end, India was successful in carrying out the Nuclear Mission at Pokhran base.
