Good movie but grossly overrated

There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

This gave me tears!What a brilliant movie! Excellent BIOPIC. Hindi movie at its best. nice story line. . . . looking forward to watch these kind movies. i watched this like 5 times! Hats off to the all the crew. you cant keep your eye s off!

Ms. Neejra Bhanot was such a heroic human being, that she deserved a much better adaptation to cinema than this medium acting & direction film. The only thing I do appreciate about this film is that it revealed her heroic story in such a way that made me read more about it and sharing it with others. Neejra worked hard all her life to pave her way to success, and worked hard as well to save so many others. Being brave, caring and diligent was part of her unique character.As an Israeli her story saddened me deeply. I truly ache the loss of her family,and of all families who lost their beloved because of these Palestinian terrorists. Only people fueled by hate could have harmed so many innocent people who had nothing to do with the Palestinians claim for destruction. I am sorry for your loss. RIP Neejra. You should have been 53 yo by now ): RIP hero.

The tragic story of Neerja Bhanot, who died while saving the lives of others, is full of tears and heartbreak. What we want to know, going into 'Neerja', the film based on the last two days of her 23 years on this earth, is : will it do justice to that pretty young woman with extraordinary courage? Director Ram Madhvani's long overdue return (where did he go missing all these years, after his terrific debut 'Let's Talk'?) to the screen is invested with the urgency and the sense of impending doom which tells us just how those terror-filled hours must have been like for Neerja, who was on that hopping Pan Am flight, New Delhi-Karachi-Frankfurt-New York, celebrating her first time as chief purser. She would have celebrated her 24th birthday on the 7th of September, 1986. Instead, her bullet-ridden body comes back to her devastated family, mother Rama (Shabana Azmi), father Harish (Tikku), her brothers, and the man who loves her (Shekhar Ravjiani). The film slides swiftly into its stride, taking us back and forth between the early morning of the 5th of September, with Neerja (Sonam Kapoor) getting ready for the flight, with her parents up and gently fussing around her, and a terrorist cell in Karachi, packing guns and grenades and gearing up for the hijacking of the Pan Am jet from Karachi airport. The atmosphere of dread and violence is created well, for the most part. We see the hijackers brutally put down any hint of resistance. We see the terrified passengers cowering in their seats. We see the crew being cowed into submission, being jabbed repeatedly by AK 47s. And we see the exact moment when Neerja draws upon her memories of being defeated in a past life, and reaching out for steely resilience: most importantly, we see Kapoor do this, believably. The question was always going to be, can Kapoor, who has always played itty-bitty ditsy roles before (with patchy​ results in a string of others), carry off that demanding role? Short answer again : yes. Sonam Kapoor fumbles in a couple of initial phases, where we find a blankness rather than terror on her face. But those are only momentary. Then she locks onto the correct tone, and we get the whole complement of feelings flit across her face – from shaking with fear to finding a place of strength. Kapoor makes us believe she is, was, Neerja. And that takes us past the few places which slacken. The lead terrorist is given a couple of ultra-histrionic moments. The end threatens to become too maudlin. There's a completely superfluous song bunged right into the middle of it all : yes, we know it's a flashback, but a song in a film like this? Can Bollywood ever get rid of this ​mistrust​ of ​its​ audience​ ? This is a film which needs to be as taut as a drum​. Why hamstring it with a song?​ Minus the songs and the excessive schmaltz, 'Neerja' could have been outstanding. But still, the film holds, and hold us with it. Both Shabana Azmi and Tikku, as the parents hoping for the best and dreading the worst for their 'Laado' (Neerja's 'pet name'), are excellent. They shine a light on the tragically-cut-short life of their daughter, a true inspirational heroine whose deeds need more than a memorial. They need to be remembered. I came out of the theatre, wet-eyed.

One of the best movies I've ever watched in Bollywood. Neerja shows us that you don't have to be a superpowered being to bring about a change in the world. But that every person, man or woman, young or old can make a difference. This movie stays for long in one's memory.Sonam Kapoor has given one of the best female performances in the history of Bollywood, and this will be remembered by generations. Her acting was organic and commendable. That you don't have to be a crotch-kicking tomboy or a silk-saree wearing savitri to prove your mettle as an actress.Great narrative and screenplay backed up by strong performances from the actors makes this my favourite movie in 2016.
