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! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Damn although the plane in this movie didn't take off, the thriller atmosphere and emotional weight this movie has to offer can leave your heart pounding and a tear in your eye with Sonam Kapoor's superb acting. Definietly recommend. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review yash b "Neerja" is an effectively told fact-based thriller with a lot of dramatic weight. This movie does a lot of things really well, starting with a memorable performance from Sonam Kapoor. I thought her character was instantly likable and one I could easily empathize with. When the main plot of the movie kicks in, this movie is very tension-filled. I do feel the movie does use flashbacks in a way that sometimes brings the movie to a slight halt, but it doesn't take away from the experience. This is a thrill ride that leads to a very emotionally powerful finale. This isn't always an easy movie to watch, but its an important reminder that the smallest acts of courage and bravery can have an enormous impact. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member The biggest strength of Ram Madhvani's "Neerja" is that a grim subject like terrorism is treated with subjectiveness and much-needed touch of lightness. But the greater achievement is that the film gives us a gripping actress to root for, who was there consistently from nine years, but it is only now that she gets a fly realized character: Sonam Kapoor delivers the best performance of t he year, and her most refreshing character as Neerja Bhanot. Those who are confused between patriotism and politics: this is a refined, light but important biographical film which tells us the true ideology of nationalism. This is an unsentimental, emotional film we were searching for through the year. And we are delivered the same. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
