The real neerja was so brave..I still can't believe that she sacrificed her life for the passengers..she was no soldier or jawan..my mom says since her parents prayed for a daughter...god sent an angel on earth to save those lives ..she was born for that fateful day..maybe a daughter was never in the destiny Of bhanots ..she was a divine child for sure and she looked so too..

Wow, it all makes sense now. Your mother is so right!

Sonam was fabulous in the scene where she opens Jaideep's gift and eats the biscuit/chocolate. She breaks down at one moment and gathers strength in the other. And the scenes where she reads the letters written to her father by her ex-husband left me heart-broken, later her mom hugs her to console her and she does the same to the horrified kids. As I said earlier, interweaving of past and present while gathering the much needed courage the situation demanded ...was so Good.

That is the last thing she eats before her death 😭

The letter was so beautiful, Jai loved her so much. ❤️

Its her belief though I can't denounce her totally on this..maybe god wanted to save the lives of those people ..that's y he sent one of his special angels and in the process also listened to the prayers of harish and rama bhanot..😊

WOW! Truly a LOT of hard work was put in this movie.

Actors playing terrorists in Neerja were kept away from the cast

By Bollywood Hungama News Network, Feb 19, 2016 - 07:16 IST

Today sees the release of the much awaited biopic Neerja, that's based on the life of the late Neerja Bhanot, who saved many lives and became an international hero. While the film has been received with critical acclaim all over, Bollywood Hungama found out that, in order to keep the film as real as possible, its makers have walked that extra mile to maintain the authenticity and realism. We caught up with the film's producer Atul Kasbekar who told us more about it.

Most of the actors playing the passengers have done a very good job. In fact some of them are even theater actors. Talking about those actors, Atul says, "Not all of them were from theater. Many were aspiring artistes but we never treated them like junior artistes. We treated them like featured cast. The casting director Kanika Beri went through a 1000 odd applicants, before she settled down on the 329 of the said cast."

The actors who played the terrorists also came from theater background but to maintain authenticity in their performances, they were kept away from the rest of the cast who played passengers. Informs Atul, "They were never allowed to mingle with passengers. Even their workshops were done separately and that's why they never met each other. The first time they saw each other was the time when the terrorists hold a gun on Sonam Kapoor and the passengers' faces. The shock of the whole sequence is extremely real and has been captured really well by Mitesh Mirchandani on camera."

In fact precautions were also taken to keep the actors playing terrorists away from the rest of the cast even between shots, by giving them their own vanity vans. "They never met before and even when they met was the time when we had to shoot in the plane. And once the shot was over, they were taken away to a totally separate section altogether almost 200 metres away from the others. Their food etc. was served to them in their own vans."

No wonder the hard work put into the making shows onscreen.

The moment when she is stopped with a gun behind her head😭😭Oh neerja how could you be so brave, I doult I could ever do even a percent of what you did,sacrificng and decidng to stay and help others when you could escape easily,Not many can make that choice.I feel the decission to cast sonam was apt,not only she did act well, but also physically she suited neerja, and looked the age.

Yeah.. just saw an interview on CNN. Neerja's brothers told that Sonam completely looked like their sister and had she born an year later, they would have believed that Sonam's a reincarnation of Neerja.

@Kaapi - That was a beautiful review. Agree and love every single thing you wrote.
