The Ajay Devgn directorial, which stars himself, Amitabh Bachchan, and Rakul Preet Singh is an edgy, fast-paced aviation drama that ends up being a great big screen cinematic experience.

With aviation dramas, it's the thrill factor and visual spectacle that the director creates, which promise an edge-of-the-seat experience.
