Dr. Bhabha belonged to a special generation of Indian scientists like C.V. Raman, Raja Ramanna etc who were well respected by their peers in East and West.
The TV series Rocket Boys is a fictionalised account of Dr. Bhabha (Father of Indian atomic program) and Dr. Sarabhai (Father of Indian space program).
