Watch | Neerja movie review

The film is a milestone in Sonam Kapoor's career and she has effectively carried it on her shoulders. Shabana Azmi is very impressive as Neerja's mother, her grip over emotional scenes are very visible. Neerja shows Ram Madhvani's meticulous planning as a director, even though it tilts in favour of some melodrama. The film arrives straight to the point and starts building a tension that remains with the audience till the end. Parallel narratives between Mumbai and Karachi bring out the conflict that ensues, and you subconsciously begin rooting for Neerja.
