How is it that India’s Moon mission costs less than the budget of Interstellar movie?

The reason why the cost of India’s lunar mission is lower than the budget of Interstellar is actually not surprising at all, except for the fact that this news is causing amazement and being hyped by news channels. The real issue here is our inability to comprehend the level to which the film industry has evolved. The film industry is no longer an area that advances with the remnants of technology but, on the contrary, is a field that shapes #technology.

For years, the world’s leading companies have been competing with each other to produce powerful machines, software, and technologies to meet the needs of the film industry. The remnants of technology developed for the film industry now find their way into our mobile phones, laptops, smartwatches, and other devices.

In a #sciencefiction movie, there are thousands of people involved, including numerous concept designers, engineers, hundreds of visual effects artists, camera crews, lighting, costume designers, art directors, and the list goes on. I’m not even mentioning actor costs.

In short, as much qualified human resources are needed for India’s lunar mission, the same goes for a science fiction film in terms of qualified personnel, technology, and, most importantly, societal demand. There is nothing surprising in this news.

Of course, India’s achievement in this mission is remarkable, and the budget for it is truly impressive; I have no objection to that. But let’s not forget that Interstellar also accomplished an extraordinary feat with a relatively low budget compared to otherhigh budget hollywood movies.

I’m attaching some of the work done just for the black hole scene. Once again, I congratulate India.
