Plot- 9/10- There have been multiple cases of windshield cracks in commercial flights including the one on which the story is based out of. However, there was scope for adding some twists.
Screen Play- First Half 5/10, Middle - 9/10, end 7/10. Some of the initial scenes could have been either avoided or shortened since they do not have much impact on story line. The middle session is interesting with breathtaking scenes of the flight entering the crisis and flying thru thunder storm. The Cinematography is excellent across locations including the cockpit scenes. The last portion again enters a bit of drag. The Cabin scenes too are quite well detailed. However, here too some cuts would have been just fine.
Cast and acting - 9/10. Great characters and acting . Scenes like the Short talk between the second officer and the crying passenger could have been avoided.
Realistic- 9/10 for ATC and the flight related details. Pilots not being able to hear each other and not being able to communicate with ATCs due to the noise of wind, cabin pressure drop , tyres bursting due to hard breaking are detailed well for the audience. However, here too some drag could have been avoided.
Overall - 8/10. 1 mark being cut for the drag scenes and 1 mark for a below par screen play for an otherwise excellent plot.
