![]() While Bollywood biopics have the tendency to put masala in stories of real life personalities, Neerja thankfully avoids that! If Neerja was a hero in real life, Ram Madhvani is the real hero of the film. The biggest positive I can say about the film, and I would want to say right at the start itself, the film never lets down the spirit of Neerja Bhanot. Sonam Kapoor reveals why she would never do films just to win awards –watch video! It is left to Neerja to calm the passengers and handle the situation without letting it spiral out of control. They show that they mean business when they began killing off passengers one by one. With no one to fly the plane, the terrorists took the passengers for ransom and demanded the pilots back from the authorities. However, Neerja warned the pilots who follow protocols and abandon cockpit. The next day, when Neerja’s flight had a stopover at Karachi, the terrorists forcibly entered the airfield and hijacked the plane, with the intention of flying it to Cyprus. ![]() At the same, in Karachi, five terrorists were preparing themselves for their dastardly mission. Neerja had just been promoted as the head purser of the ill-fated flight, and she was seen celebrating with her family at a society function. The film begins one day prior to that infamous hijacking. However, she had been involved in an abusive marriage before that nearly destroyed her spirit. ![]() Neerja Bhanot (Sonam Kapoor), Pan Am air hostess and part time model, had everything that she needed to be happy, a supportive family, including a doting mother (Shabana Azmi) and a caring boyfriend (Shekhar Ravjiani). So it was with some trepidation that I went to watch Neerja, but in the end, I was simply bowled over! As far as I can remember, Bollywood’s last attempt in this genre was the mediocre Shiney Ahuja film, Hijack. When it comes to hijacking dramas, the first and the best film that comes to my mind is United 93, a terrifying drama set on the only flight that crashed on an empty paddock during the infamous 9/11 attacks. Neerja movie review: Sonam Kapoor’s terrific hijacking drama will leave you teary-eyed!Īs everyone knows, Neerja is based on the brave airhostess who lost her life saving many others during the unforgettable Pan Am hijacking of 1986.
