deepamgupta4 This movie is based on the final moments of a model cum air hostess Neerja Bhanot, where she died on a hijacked plane in an attempt to save the passengers. Although many people watching this movie know the final outcome, the scenes beautifully powered by Sonam Kapoor and Shabana Azmi are a treat to watch. The moments especially focusing on Shabana Azmi and her attempt to keep hope in times of despair are gut wrenching and will definitely leave you in tears. The story stays true to the real life, with no extra melodrama and no unnecessary song sequences. This movie, unlike many other stories, does not specify from the beginning that Neerja was a brave girl. We are with her when she is frantic, when she is remembering moments from her past abusive marriage. We see her develop as a character. Majority of the film takes place in the plane and none of the scenes appear to be wasted. One particular scene where Neerja locks herself in the bathroom of the plane after a certain tragic incident is beautifully shot. The director and the cameramen skilfully compare the abusive husband with the terrorist and slowly Sonam gathers courage. Honestly, I am not a big Sonam Kapoor fan. I have watched some of her movies and the only movie that I liked her in was Raanjhana. But in this movie, she acts literally from every pore of her body. She pulls off scenes involving intense emotions and scenes with some respite with utter grace. We get a good ensemble of large supporting cast in terms of passengers and Neerja's family. This is a film which will definitely make you teary eyed.

ashleshachakradhare A must watch movie for all, specially in this selfish world!! Neerja Bhanot, the youngest recipient of Ashok Chakra is the most inspiring character that I have heard in my life. She dedicated her life for some people she hardly knew which is most uncommon thing in this world for a normal middle-class person. The movie beautifully depicts her as a fun-loving and a charming person, full of life and love. Despite of the hardships she faced in her life she overcomes them with support of an amazing family. I loved the family bonding, the understanding and the caring and nourishing circle that the parents provide to their children. Character of Neerja cannot be made without having a family like she had. There are soldiers that lay down their lives for people. A great saute to all of them. They are trained to do so for years and they are made ready for this. Then there are people like Neerja. She was never trained in her life to do the act that she did and never in her dreams she would have thought about it. Her dream would have been to become a successful person in her profession, lead a comfortable life etc. which is what we all ordinary people wish for. But when the moment came, she didn't turn back thinking about the comforts of life and pushing the responsibility on others. I want to write so much more....... My greatest salute to Neerja from deepest point of my heart!!!

Rahul Ranjan (Arahul1910) Such a brave story about one of the bravest daughter of India. The narrative of the movie is successful in its purpose to left people with tears. Director Ram Madhvani has made the movie quite intelligently , he constantly pinches the narrative back and forth i.e present and flashbacks so that we root for Bertha and feel bad for her, and he is successful in it . Now let's talk about technicalities.. Screenplay- Screenplay is solid and tight but the climax is slightly stretched. Ram Madhvani mainly focused on the hijack incident but he also kept showing us about Neerja's private life cleverly by flashbacks at right moments.Acting performance- Sonam Kapoor was convincing in the titular character. Shabana Azmi once again proved why she's credited as the goddess of acting, every time she was on screen she made me feel what her character was feeling. Yogendra Tiku was as usual good , but this actor is getting type-casted. Abrar Zahoor was fine as the terrorist's leader. Shekhar was alright in his limited screen time. But the actor who clearly stood out was Jim Sarbh. He was way too real as the maniac terrorist. Every time he was on screen I was terrified that will this crazy do next. His Khalil was unpredictable , ambitious and terrifying at the same time, his performance literally uplifts the movie. Music-In a movie like this I feel there is no much scope for music , but music and background scores were alright, but one song in the second half seemed unnecessary. Direction- Direction was topnotch. Madhvani has done complete justice to the movie,and this guy knows how to get the best out of his actors, he cleverly .Overall the movie is inspirational,brave and earnest at the same time. It's a must watch for every Indian

ARUN KRISHNAN Neerja is totally amazing. It is a masterpiece. All the actors were living their respective roles. Sonam Kapoor delivered a breathtaking performance as Neerja. She makes us believe that she is Neerja. I used to hate Sonam as she was not convincing in her previous movies. But now I understood that she is really a great actress and she's now one of my favorites. Neerja is definitely a must watch for all. It is inspiring, engaging and emotional. I saw this movie from a theater and at the end most of the audience were crying. Neerja, a rare cinematic gem from Bollywood. This movie should be shown in all schools in India. And at last, Shabana Azmi as Neerja's mother was totally amazing....
