Seems like it's in Hindi. Any links for the anglophones?
It's a dual-language telecast. The commentators alternate between Hindi and English, keep watching.

#25They started streaming ... how many minutes now until the landing is expected?
The woman answered my question — 18 minutes until powered descent begins.

#28Scott Manly has a video on why he thinks the last one failed. It sounds like their landing software didn't have "oh crap, we're way off course, just land wherever". It only had the happy path of "fly to here and land", so when it switched to the landing phase it tried valiently (including flying upside down) to try to fly back to the landing zone, but the landing zone was much further than fuel supplies allowed. Hope…
Not considering such a basic error condition seems like a gross omission.
This can't even come from the software engineering, but must be some kind of managerial failure (e.g. we're short on time, but have to report great progress to my boss, so skip this scenario).
