Runway 34 Movie Review: A film which is very well directed and scripted

Runway 34 is based loosely on the narrow escape of a flight from Doha to Kochi due to bad weather conditions and unclear visibility. Captain Vikrant Khanna played by Ajay Devgn who has also directed and produced the film is a pilot who is confident and a bit arrogant of his abilities when it comes to handling turbulences and crisis 35,000 above sea level. 

A routine flight from Dubai to Kochi encounters uncertain weather conditions. The captain of the plane changes its alternate route and sends out a Mayday message before landing the flight, narrowly escaping the crash against the advice of his first officer Tanya Albuqurque. The investigation of the case forms the crux of the film. 

The film marks Devgn's growth as a storyteller. The screenplay, crisp story and a cutting-edge visual treatment of the narrative with smart VFX uses, sound and production design of the film, no dramatic digression, interlude or romance moments of thrill which closes the first half are some of the plus points of the film. 

Though the movie is 2 hours and 28 minutes long, one does not feel the length because it is both thrilling and dramatic. The performances by Boman Irani, Amitabh Bachchan and Ajay are outstanding and coincide with their characters.

The music of the film also mixes well with the film. Overall, the movie is a good one time watch especially for those who love thrill and drama.

How Floods have Effected Human Beings and Wildlife

Floods are a natural calamity that ruins houses, wildlife, crops and takes life of many people as well. People were already suffering from COVID 19 and the floods made it even more worse this year. The people were not safe inside their houses as well.  Floods forced everyone to come outside their houses and gather in a single place or ask for help. The condition of the people had become very miserable and the government came forward to help them in these tragic times.  They tried their best to help the people by providing them food and shelter so that they are not rendered homeless. There were many non-governmental organizations that came forward and helped the people in times of need and emergency.  It is really saddening to see the situation that has taken over the world and we can only hope and pray that things are returned to their complete normal self so that everybody can leave peacefully and comfortably. 

Maharani: A web series which has shown Rabri Devi to be a pseudo intellectual

Sony Liv has released a new web series called Maharani which is said to be based on the lives of Lalu Prasad Yadav and Rabri Devi. However, this series has faced a lot of backlash and criticism because it has shown how Rabri worked for Bihar but the people of Bihar say that this series is cleaning the image of Rabri Devi.  The series shows how an illiterate lady who has no interest at all in politics and is happy with the normal life she is leading. She is relieved when her husband says that he will resign from the post of Bihar CM as he is shot.  Little did she know that she will be made the CM of Bihar as Bhima, her husband is unable to discharge his duties as a CM. At first, she is very reluctant to go to the CM office as she is underconfident and cannot speak fluently. She slowly gains confidence when people understand the work she is doing and she becomes the favourite of the Bihar people and ultimately gains their trust. However, the series is faulty on many grounds. Fir...
