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 online education is proving to be the biggest failure in India

As we all know that the schools have been closed due to COVID 19 pandemic and the students have been taking online classes from the last few months. Online classes are becoming the biggest failures in India. Some of the reasons for the failure of online classes are bad internet connectivity. Despite knowing that all the work around the world is being done online, the cellular networks are not increasing their network speed due to which the class gets hampered.  One of the other reasons can be that students do not have a habit to take classes online and that also on laptops and computers. They do not learn until they get scolded or shouted upon. That system has completely led to the failure of the classes as you do not know whether your concepts are clear to the students or not.  The teachers are also facing a lot of issues in taking online classes as all the matter needs to be written well before hand so that the explanation becomes easier.
