Ram Madhvani brings amazing perspective to the real life story by giving various points of view. The narrative goes back and forth in a very interesting manner. Saiwyn Quadras' smart and gripping screenplay is the backbone of NEERJA. Her extraordinary courage and presence of mind saved the lives of most of the passengers as she put others before herself. The past suddenly percolates in the memory space, for Neerja had earlier been in an abusive marriage and now she was facing abuse from menacing terrorists. The ill-fated flight to New York on which Neerja is the head purser gets hijacked in Karachi by the Libya backed Palestinian terrorist group Abu Nidal. Neerja has a loving suitor in Jaideep (Shekhar Ravjiani). Her doting mother Rama Bhanot (Shabana Azmi) and an ever encouraging father Harish Bhanot (Yogendra Tiku) love to pamper their Laado. She is a diehard Rajesh Khanna fan and believes that one must live a Big life rather than living for long. Neerja Bhanot (Sonam Kapoor) is the purser at Panam Airlines. No compromise at the level of storytelling. As a movie watching experience, NEERJA is flawless. It is a rare film that will make you cry profusely but at the same time scaffold you with strength to raise your voice against injustice and why one must never compromise on self-respect. Ram Madhvani's NEERJA is a heroic story of a brave young girl Neerja Bhanot who displayed extraordinary courage during extremely dangerous circumstances.
