Eros Entertainment’s Hijack hits the theaters. But
does it hit the hearts to impress you, the answer is
strictly ‘No’…reasons…!!! Well, you will get to know
once you read the whole review. Kunal Shivdasani’s
directed venture stars the likes of Shiney Ahuja and
sha Deol in the lead. The film also shows you the
statistical data of the hijacked planes across the
globe so far. To fight with the hijackers or arrest
them, a skilled force is called to do the action.
But in this flick, our brave Bollywood hero
single-handedly fights with the group of hijackers.
Could you digest it? Hope…’Not’….! |

Admit, the execution wise, the film looks
Hollywoodish. Full marks to Kunal for that. But as
far as the script is concerned, it’s not appealing
at all. What happened to Kunal and Gavendra Agarwal,
when they scripted the story? At least, they must
have shown some realism in the narrative. The
casting is also one of the big letdowns of the
movie. The casting of the amateur actors spoils the
impact. The passengers in the plane fail to create
the panic atmosphere convincingly. Why |

the need arose to put the rapid songs in the film?
Weird…! Why has Shiney been shown heroic in the movie? Do
the director and writers not know that today’s audience is
not dupe? Audience has become intelligent now. This, our
directors and writers will have to admit now.
Vikram (Shiney Ahuja) is a ground maintenance officer at
Chandigarh Airport. His social life is limited to one
friend, Rajeev, who is the Security Chief of the same
airport. As luck would have it, the flight in which Vikram’s
daughter is travelling, from Delhi to Amritsar, is hijacked
by a group of terrorists. Though the plane is seized control
of, the hijackers seem to be quite undecided on their
demands. First, the hijackers ask the pilot to divert the
plane to Dubai for reasons unexplained. Since the aircraft
is short of fuel so the flight has to land in the interim in
Chandigarh. Here, they put their demand of liberating their
terrorist leader held captive by the Indian government. |

Vikram decides to barge in the aircraft and take
control of things without need of any bureaucratic
backup since his daughter is held hostage in the
flight. Follows next is his unaided fight against
the hijackers. The only accomplice in Vikram’s
mission is the air hostess Saira (Esha Deol).
Kunal Shivdasani’s direction … yes…deserves huge
marks. On script side, he and Gavendra Agarwal fall |

flat. Justin-Uday’s music is mundane. The action
sequences are well handled by Allan Amin. Jehangir
Chowdhary’s cinematography attracts.
Shiney Ahuja enacts well but the characterization (the
writers have done for him) spoils his image. Esha Deol is
strictly okay. Rest of the cast is unimpressive.
In a nutshell, ‘Hijack’ does hijack your pleasures. So avoid
it. |
