Ajay Devgn has just dropped the trailer of his upcoming directorial 'Runway 34,' featuring Amitabh Bachchan and Rakul Preet Singh in important roles.

Ajay Devgn ne pehle bhi ek film direct ki hai Shivay, which wasn't a box office hit and as a producer he has always had a bit of a hit or a miss kind of reputation. From duds like Dil Kya Kare, Raju Chacha, U, me aur Hum, and more recently the Big Bull and Bhuj the pride of India to some hits like Bol Bachchan, Singham Returns and Tanhaaji - Ajay Devgn has given seen some success as a producer but none as a director.

So, now when he is directing and acting in a film, everyone's more interested in seeing his direction. Somehow, the trailer of this film reminds me of Dhamaka - it's built similarly with suspense and thrill but this one's based on a true incident. Woh incident kya tha I will tell you later, but the trailer seems quite average to me, the only good thing is it doesn't reveal too much like most Bollywood trailers. Amitabh Bachchan plays a character similar to what he has played many times before - maybe not the role per say but the way he has executed it, we don't see much scope for him to do things differently.

Also, mujhe lagta hai VFX bohot zyada use hua hai yaha and it shows, which is not a very great thing. But do you know which is really a great movie based on a very similar incident - it's a Hollywood film called Flight, starring Denzel Washington, in which he plays a Commercial airline pilot Whip Whitaker, who has a problem with drugs and alcohol, but so far he's managed to complete his flights safely. But one day, his luck runs out when a mechanical malfunction sends his plane hurtling towards the ground. Whip pulls off a miraculous crash-landing that results in only six lives lost. Shaken to the core, he vows to get sober -- but when the crash investigation exposes his addiction, he finds himself in an even worse situation.

Runway 34 seems to be following a very similar trajectory with Ajay Devgn playing the ace pilot and Amitabh Bachchan playing the investigating officer, but it's clear that it's nowhere close to the excellence and finesse that we saw in Flight. It has got a lot of poor VFX and ek ke baad ek filmy dialogues that seem to have been put to create faltu ka drama. Why can't Bollywood filmmakers cut dialoguebaazi and make a realistic subject realistically, is something I will never understand.

Because jiss incident par yeh film based woh actual mein hua tha on 18th August, 2015 and its called the Jet-Airways Doha-Kochi Flight incident. This incident garbbed headlines because it raised a lot of questions, and barely any answers.

It happened when Jet Airways flight 9W triple 5, arrived from Doha at the Cochin International Airport with around 142 passengers and 8 crew members on board. There was not enough visibility for the aircraft to land because of the haze that happened due to heavy rainfall the previous day. The pilot then diverted the plane to Trivandrum (which is now, Thiruvananthapuram), but the visibility was less than what was required. The flight was also running dangerously low on fuel, so the captain decided to land the aircraft, almost blindly. There's a giveaway line in the trailer to this effect which seems like the major piece of the mystery. Here also, it landed after three failed attempts with only 250 kg of fuel left
Though this flight landed safely, the captain was demoted to the rank of a co-pilot for risking the lives of the passengers on board.

The incident got a lot of mixed responses. Some said that it was a wise decision by the captain, and some said it was the most dangerous close shaves in Indian aviation. Till date, the incident remains shrouded in mystery. Surely, this film will try to bring some clarity to the incident but from the trailer it looks like a pretty average thriller based on true events. Comments on Youtube are filled with positive responses but I think, I have seen better.

Runway 34 releases in theatres on 29th April.

So that's my review of the trailer of Ajay Devgan's directorial Runway 34 - what's yours?
