Spoilers ahead…
All of this should have been tense, nail-biting stuff – but it looks generic due to the generic visual effects, the generic dialogues, and the generic characters.
The first half of Runway 34 is dedicated to proving that the airline captain Ajay Devgn plays is an alpha male. No, literally. When we see him for the first time, an ad jingle-like bit in the background goes “He’s an alpha man.” Which makes me wonder: had he been a little less manly, would he be a beta man? Are there more categories of manliness: gamma men, delta men? Ajay proves his alpha man status by smoking non-stop, or by going to a nightclub and picking up a woman with this line. She asks what she’ll get if she goes with him. He says, “My company.” Um… okay! Another quality of the alpha man is apparently that he has a photographic memory. You do not want him near your computer’s history.

Seconding what gnanaozhi said about the Heropanti review and this. The sharpness is back. Maybe it’s just that it’s harder to get that snark across in a video review though you did it in that one review where you imitated an uppity Brit accent.

BR, hopeful that you would review new Malayalam film Jana Gana Mana. Hearing good reports about it.

Any resemblance to Denzel Washington’s flight ? Ajay Devgn directed movies come with interesting premise that’s not seen before in Indian cinema and then just falter
