No kidding. In the video, you can see the missile has stopped going further away from the camera after 35 sec, and instead it starts moving perpendicular to the camera, toward the ground, meaning it is losing altitude, not gaining altitude.

Of course the Earth is round, so as the rocket gains altitude, you see the missile from the rear (where the plumes come out of the nozzle). The rocket should only be perpendicular to the camera when it is way out in space, 1:08 is too early for it to be perpendicular to the camera. So, it lost altitude way too early and started going down. You can see the rocket stages separate around 1:30 and then the rocket burns out entirely around 2:00.
If the launch was successful, you wouldn't even see the second stage, it would already been in the stratosphere beyond camera range by them.
After the rocket burned out around 2:00, you can't see anything anymore. The rocket debris landed beyond the horizon in the indian ocean.
Absolutely! I saw the video and think it's very odd like what you said. But given it's India it comes as no surprise to me.
From this one can apparently conclude that the definition of "success" of Indian Dr.DO ( or DoNOT ) is that if it doesn't exploid WVR, then it's a "success".
...anyone can make a siisle that doesn't exploid WVR, yet only a few (the UNSC Big 5) can make it reliable and accurate - the real definition of successful missles.
Yet I guess we have to wait a couple of days until a random northem Indian peasant complains that some huge thing dropped from the sky and destroyed his vege field days ago...
