Technical Review : As we know that this movie is Produced , Directed and Acted by Ajay Devgan himself , Vfx used in the film is brilliant , Ajay Devgan has acted well as Vikrant Khanna the pilot and he has very well debated with Amitabh Bachchan but still his expressions were not connecting , the emotional touch was missing , he has more focused on directing than acting .The first half is thrilling but second half when investigation scenes are there those are bit dragging .
Performances : The Movie is totally Ajay Devgan and Amitabh Bachchan, Ajay is terrific but Mr Bachchan is splendid we can see a touch of pink in him ..Rakul Preet is good though she has not much to do , Boman Irani as Airiline Skyline 777 owner is in his skin totally .
Final Words : The film is based on true events when jet airways flight from doha to cochin had a narrow escape due to bad weather and low visibility in 2015..This is a visual presentation of that event so you can watch it on big screen .
