Set in a small village in Telangana, Skylab follows the story of the fear looming among the villagers when they get to know about a satellite crashing in their village. The story is a breath of fresh air in every sense of the word. Not only is the story funny but it carries such a relevant message which holds true even today. The screenplay is also very well penned. There is a good amount of buildup here as well as there are three parallel tracks moving simultaneously. But the drama is fast paced. The fact that the drama is set in a village adds a nice little layer of comedy. The different characters border on buffoonery that is sure to make you laugh. While you are invested in the drama, there is a thin thread of the conflict which is prevalent throughout the first half. Finally when the conflict is introduced, this adds to the confusion, all of it packaged in a very entertaining drama. But the good part is that the writing was willing to punch above its weight. Soon the comedy dries out and instead what you are served is a heartwarming drama. Some of the social issues which are prevalent in our society are tackled with a lot of warmth. There are places where you are filled with emotions that force you to shed a tear. The climax bit is arousing with a lovely message at the end – it is amazing what the fear of dying can do to you. It changes your perspective beyond the shackles of caste and religion. What a beautifully woven message in a beautifully charming and moving screenplay!
