Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaArvind Swami and Pankaj Kapoor reunites after 32 years since Roja, which was also a movie based on similar plot - an Islamic separatist group (lead by Pankaj Kapoor) kidnapping an Indian army officer (Arvind Swami) in Kashmir while demanding release of their fellow terrorist.
- GoofsThroughout the series, Captain Dev hand-flies the aircraft and makes most of the radio calls, while the first officer and flight engineer rarely speak and often don't seem to be doing anything.
Professional pilots and flight engineers are trained to operate as a team and continuously cross-check each other's actions, and the flight engineer's primary job is to execute checklists. To reduce workload and the chances of making mistakes, it is typical for one pilot to fly the aircraft ("pilot flying") while the other navigates, watches the instruments, and operates the radios and auxiliary systems ("pilot monitoring"), and for the pilots to rely heavily on the autopilot at the top of the instrument panel. (The first officer or copilot is only subservient with respect to decision-making; both pilots know how to operate every system in the cockpit, and the roles switch back and forth freely.) In a real airliner, the pilots would divide the work to a much greater degree, would talk to one another constantly during takeoff and landing, and would frequently use the autopilot, while the flight engineer would be verbally executing checklists and cross-checking various flight instruments and controls.
Featured review
*IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack* offers a decent take on a major historical event, but it falls short in truly captivating the audience. The 6-episode format does keep you engaged to some extent, especially with its tight script and good performances. Vijay Varma and Arvind Swamy were highlights for me, but many characters felt underdeveloped, leaving their stories hanging midway.
The series mixes real-life footage well, but the emotional depth and tension that such a story demands are missing. While it's not terrible, it's also not groundbreaking. Worth watching if you have time, but not a must-see. Solid 7/10.
