Do watch! The film has been crafted with a lot of honesty.
Ram Madhvani relies less on drama while handling this story and that is good. Shabana Azmi and Yogendra Tikku�s performance as the parents is top notch.(more)

Courage is not A virtue, but The virtue
Saiwyn Quadras' smart and gripping screenplay is the backbone of NEERJA. The narrative goes back and forth in a very interesting manner.

It is a powerful story that tugs gently and delicately at the heartstrings.
The three main actors in the cast � Sonam Kapoor, Shabana Azmi and Yogendra Tiku � are on top of their game. Sonam is of course the lynchpin.

As gripping as it is poignant!
Director Ram Madhvani and writer Saiwyn Quadras tell us the story flitting between time-lines. It�s masterful how the central character�s present situation (the hijack) takes her back to the days of her abusive marriage. These intercuts show us a unique insight into the probable workings of her mind...(more)
