Mangal Ho
Mangal Ho (transl: Let there be Mars!) is an upcoming Indian sci-fi comedy film. It is the second Hindi feature film of Pritish Chakraborty as writer – director, and will mark his Hindi film debut as an actor.[1] Mangal Ho is a story about the first Indian civilization on the planet Mars.[2] The title of the film is a pun on the well-meaning phrase "Mangal ho," meaning "may you be blessed," - taken literally, the word ''Mangal' also refers to Vedic name of the planet Mars (and its Hindu-deity equivalent), while "ho" is a state of being or becoming.
