This type of real stories must have been told. Director Mr. Ram Madhvani work is good. Story line was clear in trailer itself. Screenplay by Saiwyn Qadras, offers few good and emotional scenes, like when mother is trying to get up her daughter. The chemistry between mother and daughter clearly reflects the bonding. An old lady asks to air hostess about her marital status, supposedly looking for bride for her grand son travelling with her, it looks real and makes you smile but this approach goes over board in many scenes too, like the flash cut of Mother doing a bit melodrama after getting the news of plane hijack, boy friend crying in the front of her hoarding, as if they were sure about the end. Main lead had pushed to sing a song and she sings 'Mere Sapno Ki Rani', it looks like a humorous scene but the place it comes you will be in dead confusion to laugh or feel irritation. Even it would be a real incident but writers should have been improvised it in touchy manner. Film starts on good note but then gradually slows down in first half. Second half starts on slow pace but maintains its pace in good way till climax. Hand held camera work gives much needed impact to build up the tension but they used this in home scenes too, which suffocates the scope of few relief. There was no scope for dialogues except the climax dialogues, which are very good but it should have been little crisp. Dialogues credit goes to Sanyukta Chawla Sheikh . Performance wise Sonam Kapoor as Neeraja Bhanot is impressive. #JimSarbah as terrorist Khalil is very good. His portrayal of character is so believable that you have to remind yourself that it is a movie. Shabana Aazmi shows her caliber in climax speech. One time watch is my request to support and pay respect to such type of selfless and brave human being like Neeraja Bhanot, who got bravery award from India, Pakistan and US, very rare combination of nations coming together to salute one person.

This film is an example of how the inspiring stories of many unsung heroes are hidden behind the curtain. There are many such great people whom we must remember. The world can still survive on the lines humanity, and she is the base for such will and pessimism, she is a package of humanity, bravery, self respect, law abiding and many other features. I simply salute her bravery and responsibility for humanity. No words to describe her sacrifice!!!! Sonam and Shabana lived up to expectations, they carried film on shoulders.

To begin with I wanna say some good things associated with this movie. A trend is coming to India… a trend of sensible movies... where audience no longer appreciates bakwaaas very much. Neerja is even a step ahead as it presents us with a 'biography' of an extraordinary girl. The movie is about how Neerja acts bravely in a tight situation of a plane hijack and helps rescue about 360 people out of audience of 380. Her bravery acts include hiding passports of American passengers, not panicking in a hijack situation, offering her duty and thus shedding passengers of their burden, opening the exit emergency door at the peak moment and most important not leaving till last passenger has been secured in her senses. At last she is killed but this martyr has secured a place that is not parallel to anything else. I just wanted to convey a message to all biography makers. Do include credits or original people in your movies... example the award receiving part could have been shown with original mother, end credits of her new found love along with family members could also have been great.

Life has to be bigger not longer! The film, Neerja is a portrayal on the life of the courageous Neerja Bhanot, who sacrificed her life while protecting the lives of 359 passengers in 1986. The flight was hijacked by a terrorist organization in Karachi. How she bravely handled the situation is what the film has been made on. Director is the real hero of this movie. Ram Madhvani describes every part, every scene of the film very wonderfully. Along with the writers, he is not giving outside of the track and thus, this film is a gem of 2016! Shabana Azmi has done a fantabulous job in the character of Neerja's mother. Though, she has not much dialogues, but her expressions show her emotions, and they are very real that everyone was crying literally. When she gave a speech on Neerja in the end, I was not able to control my emotions. Tears were flowing continuously. She will be the winner of best supporting actress in the major award ceremony undoubtedly. Sonam Kapoor has given career best performance. She could've been portrayed her well. But, whatever she has given is acceptable. Yogendra Tikku as Neerja's father and Shekhar as Neerja's friend are good and suitable. The man who portrayed Khalil, the angriest terrorist, has done a fantastic job. He looks like a pure terrorist. Others are good, too. Music is given by Vishal Khurana and lyrics has been penned by Prasoon Joshi. All the songs are listenable again and again. Background score is also suitable and helps to build the terror as well as the excitement. Connection with Rajesh Khanna, Neerja's past describing her marriage issue, her father's advises, her handling of the passengers, her smartness of not taking the U.S. citizens' passports, her calmness, her love letter written by her lover, her love towards her duty, her sacrifice - everything is just so perfect. I'm no getting over from it. This is probably one of the best films of this year. I salute you from the bottom of my heart to Neerja Bhanot, the actual one. She has been rewarded Ashok Chakra by the government of India. Though, Airlift was a good one, but, this deserves support from the audience. This is definitely better than Airlift. Please, it's my humble request to all that go and watch out the story of the brave girl, Neerja. Her mother told that Neerja was prettier than Sonam. Yes, the photographs in the end credits give the approval to this statement. A girl, aged 23, lost her life while saving the passengers during her job. Watch it and think that where we reached till now! Massive respect!

Neerja is the true story of Air-Hostess Neerja Bhanot. Not revealing any spoiler because you already know How this film is going to end. Sonam Kapoor deserved a film like this in her career because She was trying very hard to play a strong character from the beginning. The part of Neerja was little under acted but it was visible that She was giving her best. The direction was great too but I can't figure this out why tense films like this requires Songs? I hated that moment of film very much. I hope this film don't flop so more quality driven film will be made. Thank You Neerja team for telling the tale of Neerja Bhanot to Indian masses.
