Perfectly paced and well directed, the movie is a must watch. In its essence Neerja is not just a biopic, its a drama with thrilling ride of tension. Another actor who has done a commendable job is Shabana Azmi, she is so compassionate as the mother of Neerja that you can feel the pain and loss through her character. Her first flight as a purser gets hijacked by terrorists. Neerja has recently been divorced from an arrange marriage and is a huge Rajesh Khanna's fan. She plays the character of a flight purser of a Pan Am flight who is also a struggling model. Neerja is the story of the courageous Neerja Bhanot, who sacrificed her life while protecting the lives of 359 passengers on the Pan Am flight 73 in 1986. When a cynical ex-TV news anchor gets an alarming call on his radio show, he sees a chance for a career comeback but it may cost him his conscience.

Sonam Kapoor blends right into the core of Neerja's character, this is clearly her best movie of the career leaving her acting in Raanjhana way behind. South superstar Kabir Duhan Singh is all set to make his OTT debut with Kunal Kohlis web-series Ramyug that would premiere on MX Player.

Director Ram Madhvani's debut feature film is a strong well acted biopic with emotions filled to its core. And that trend is still on with latest Neerja. Neerja is a portrayal on the life of the courageous Neerja Bhanot, who sacrificed her life while protecting the lives of 359 passengers on the Pan Am flight 73 in 1986. We have had so many movies with positive perspective of females. From English Vinglish(2012) to Queen(2013) and from last year's Dil Dhadakne Do to Masaan. Another trend which has been set since last 4 or 5 years: We have had many movies with strong female lead, having feminist approach. The trend it seems is still going strong. Bollywood for last few years have been evolving into something bigger and better.
