Today's the day we've all been waiting for! 🌕✨ It's happening today, and oh boy, the excitement is off the charts!

India is about to make history with the jaw-dropping touchdown of Chandrayaan-3 on the Moon's southern pole this very Wednesday evening. Can you believe it? India is about to join the elite League of Nations, rubbing shoulders with the United States, China, and the former Soviet Union, as masters of the art of soft lunar landings. Talk about a celestial achievement! 🚀🌠

But here's a little Bollywood tidbit to spice things up. Way back in 1967, before space travel was all the rage, the iconic Dara Singh was already exploring lunar territory with 'Chand Par Chadayee.' Directed by T.P. Sundaram, this cinematic gem was one of Bollywood's first cosmic escapades.

'Chand Par Chadayee' hit screens a whole two years before Neil Armstrong's historic moonwalk.

In this film, Dara Singh plays Astronaut Anand, on a mission to the moon, battling lunar beings determined to thwart his cosmic quest. It's a star-studded affair with Padma Khanna, G. Ratna, and Anwar Hussain joining the celestial cast.

'Chand Par Chadayee' wasn't just a lunar dream. It predicted future tech wonders like video calls, email, and gadgets that looked a lot like our modern printers, scanners, and cameras. Can you believe this film saw it all before the internet even existed? 🌐💻

And today, as India's Chandrayaan-3 mission steals the spotlight, the lander proudly carries the name of Vikram Sarabhai, the pioneer of India's space program. 🌌👨‍🚀

Ladies and gentlemen, the countdown has begun! Tune in at 5:20 p.m. (IST) for the live broadcast of this historic lunar landing. Livestream it on the ISRO website, YouTube, Facebook, or DD National TV from 5:27 p.m. (IST) onwards.

Get ready to witness a celestial spectacle that will go down in history! 🌕🌟 🚀
