Whats the point of this film beyond self promotion of Ajay Devgn? He was producer, director, lead actor in fictional hero role? Over the top? Many reviews criticize this as a copy and paste of either Denzel Washington's Flight-a totally fictional film, or Tom Hanks, as Sully, a truthful re-enactment of heroic aviation skills. No possibility of copying Sully, because when you read the actual investigation report for the flight used as a reference here, you immediately see how opposite of Sully this PIC (Pilot in command) really was. No Sully in the cockpit of JetAir flight 555. The actual investigation leads most to wonder how JetAir is still certified to fly across international borders, enter the EU or USA airspace. The Investigative process used to evaluate this incident was not up to international aviation standards in any way.
So back to whats the point? Aviation remains the safest travel mode on earth for humans in the twenty-first century. Thats however depending upon the customer being savvy enough to value their own safety first, avoiding certain regional carriers histories, incident & accident histories and ratings. Obviously valuing their lives enough to read the simple emergency cards, or valuing their vacation memories enough to keep a journal or diaty that includes the trip details for less frequent fliers sucha as Carrier, aircraft type and flight number. After all, if vacations are to be memorable, details are everything. Theres informative websites in various languages for consumers to do this. If consumers wish to fly blind, seeking only cheapest fares and treating aviation like a bus ride rather than the professional technical industry it is and what thats worth in terms of their lifes value, maybe thats the point. This film had quite poor aviation representation and apparently no expert technical consultants.
It wouldve been better as a cooy of either Sully, if based on reality, or a copy of Flight as total fiction, but its neither. JetAir555 did encounter a fuel incident. It was well covered by actual aviators and aviation mentors for free on YouTube. Save your money, see those instead, unless your a teenage Bollywood fan with a crush on Ajay, skip it. My rating is for a new directors efforts and investment.
