Alicia I love this movie so much

Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Connianatu How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

cinemacula I'm compelled to write this review for the movie Neerja. This is a mockery. It fails in every aspect of narration. I do realize that Indians have this 'adjustment' mentality but this piece has the ability to push even an Indian beyond his adjustment tolerance.Worst possible direction for such an epic story and casting is poorest to honest. The extras are horrible in the movie. They are neither interested in active story nor there was any effort made to groom them for the scene.Screenplay is the real buzz kill. It switches to personal story from a high point hijack scene at an abrupt point, it kills all the moment gained so far. And fails to push the movie back to similar pace.I hardly remember listening to any soundtrack or music score. Such an emotional roller coaster movie subject with thrilling scenes and music doesn't make slightest attempt to harness those situations. An utter failure from music point of view.Shabana Azmi tries to steer the entire movie with her performance alone. And the rest of the crew fails to do justice. She must credited for being the only scorer here for the movie.And I'm very particular about cinematography and this had the worst cinematography one can imagine. Eye of the movie never attempts to make me feel the situation they are in. It was supposed to teleport me inside the plane but the plane was where it was. Never connected with the story.There are specific scenes which could've been emphasized even more because they form the load bearing actions of the movie.

zee-dost OK some of the characters are one-dimensional. And honestly for those of us who speak Arabic, the Arabic "spoken" by the terrorists was grating. "Akhu-ee" meaning "my brother" came out as "ahoy". If you are going to make a film, please employ actors who actually can speak the language or can learn how to do so. Otherwise this is a solid film. Well-paced, well-acted and reliable in terms of its commitment to historical accuracy. I found it particularly touching in the ways that Neerja's childhood and youth are contrasted with her circumstances on board the hijacked plane. Sonam Kapoor, Shabana Azmi and actor playing the father give very good performances.

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

pucit-waqas I was about to write a bad review on first impression. As I thought again an Indian movie showing "Muslims" as terrorists. But honestly after watching complete movie. It put me on tears. Also there isn't portraying bad image of Pakistan as Bollywood do it often. So again Terrorism has no religion. Humanity isn't bound to any religion. Great performance by sonam Kpoor. This movies teaches you a-lot about humanity, about love, about passion, about your duty. salute to our I can bet any human being can be put into tears watching this movie. It would be much great if they had shown Pakistan as its real image. heroes. Life is all about give give and give. So, 9 out of 10..
