Ram Madhwani in his first Hindi and second movie as a director (his first movie was the highly acclaimed Boman Irani starrer “Let’s Talk” in 2002) showcases his genius well. Especially the PAN AM flight, no where will you feel that it is a set…. Vishal did not make it jarring or overpowering the sequences, but blended with the narration….įourth highlight of the movie it is production design by Aparna Sud and Anna Ipe, recreating the PAN AM flight to Karachi Airport to a middle class house everything is done with precision and with eye on details. Third highlight of the movie is the back ground score by Vishal Khurana which enhanced the tension of the narration. Rest of the cast also does a commendable job making the movie worth a watch… Jim’s portrayal exudes tension in the narration and the unpredictable streak kept the audience guessing. Jim Sarbh as the hot tempered terrorist Khalil is the most impactful performance of the movie. Music composer Shekhar Ravjiani debuts in a cameo of Neerja’s lover Jaideep, and he shines in the cameo though there was not much to be done. Yogendra Tikku as Neerja’s father Harish Bhanot also does a brilliant job of a supportive father. Shabana Azmi kills it in the climax with her performance and ends the movie on a high. But the best performance has been of Shabana Azmi as Neerja’s mother Rama Bhanot, she underplays her character as a house wife in the beginning but slowly and steadily displays the strength of a tough woman as the movie progresses. To be honest I had written off the movie even before watching “Neerja” as I thought that Sonam Kapoor was a wrong choice for the movie, but I am happy to say that I was wrong. Second highlight of the movie are its performances, Sonam Kapoor as Neerja Bhanot makes it her own and gives a crackling performance, frankly her best till date. The best dialogue off course is in the climax which gives the last bit of finishing touch to the story of a brave heart Neerja Bhanot…. To keep it realistic the dialogues of the terrorists have been kept in their native language with sub titles without trying to explain in Hindi which does not hamper the narration. Though I felt a back story of why the terrorists high jacked the plane would have been put an extra edge to the narration, but overall the screenplay is the winner….ĭialogues by Sanyuktha Chawla Shaikh are real and believable without any melodrama or any discourses on patriotism or bravery. Saiwyn has been successful in maintaining the tension all throughout the movie without making it melodramatic and keeping it as realistic as possible. The mother daughter track is the best track of the movie it gives you the moments and also builds the tension. Another highlight of the screenplay is its pace which does not slow even for a moment but still it has the emotional quotient intact. Where the screenplay scores the highest is its characterization, whether it Neerja Bhanot’s characterization or her mother’s Rama Bhanot’s characterization or her father Harish Bhanot, even the terrorists, every character has been written with utmost precision which eventually elevates the narration. Saiwyn beautifully weaves in back story of Neerja Bhanot’s failed marriage in the screenplay. The screenplay captures the string of events in a thriller format keeping the audience on the edge of their seats. One of the biggest highlight of the movie is its story and screenplay by Saiwyn Quadras. How Neerja with her intelligence and bravery is successful in saving the lives of the passengers forms the crux of the story.

The passengers and the rest of the crew are stranded with the terrorists in the flight not knowing what will happen. But their plan hits a road block when the pilot crew of the flight escape from the cock pit.

When the flight lands in Karachi early morning 5 th Sept’86 it is high jacked by Palestine terrorists, who had a plan to fly the plane to Cyprus and force the Government to free the Palestine terrorists who have been jailed. Neerja (Sonam Kapoor) a senior purser of PAN AM and a part time model boards PAN AM Flight 73 on 5 th September 1986 to New York via Karachi and Frankfurt. “Neerja” is based on the PAN AM plane highjack incident of 1986 in Karachi where the flight purser Neerja Bhanot saved the lives of 329 passengers from the Palestine terrorists. Movies based on real life incidents are very difficult to make as the people are aware of most of the facts and to top it all are aware of the outcome in such a scenario it is a challenge for the director and the writers to weave in a screenplay which keeps the audience glued till the end…. Neerja: A befitting tribute to brave heart Neerja Bhanot
