elshikh4 "Interesting" is a word that got no relation whatsoever to this movie. Wanna know why. Stick around… Mr. (Shiny Ahuja) has NOTHING to be a lead of an action movie, or rather a movie ! The guy got zero charisma, zero acting talent, and zero fighting capacities (to tell you the truth I was wishing him murdered for all the time !). Undoubtedly he was the most boring factor in here, since being angry, sad, happy all by the same dead face. He seemed on drugs or lacking so much sleep, wanting his job done anyway anyhow. And by the way, according to the way he looks, I'm sure he has anemia ! The plot wasn't that bad, but why the shameful stealing from (Passenger 57), and (Executive Decision) ??!!! Some points bugged me very, such as : the scenes of the helpless ministers yakking and yakking and yakking forever, or how that ex-pilot learned all of these tricks he pulled off against the baddies ?? (the script could have made him a s.w.a.t instead !), or how the killings were extremely absurd; giving us a time to laugh more than feeling a fear. For little instance the opportunist politician, who wanted to serve the terrorists for his own agenda, has been killed so dumbly by the terrorists in the time that he could have been useful for them even if on short-range !The direction couldn't embody any kind of excitement AT ALL. The cadres got nothing to express, while it's supposed to be a thrilling action that takes place in its actual time. The atmosphere was mostly spiritless. Let alone the purely naive dealing with many matters like how some of the hijackers looked so idiot while walking and talking, how the airport's tower was having one constant cloudy image all along (it's shitty back-projection !), how the plane takes off at the end (did you see a plane that takes off in nearly half an hour ?!). And when the last fight between the lead and the main terrorist has been shot in continuous rotating I was laughing my head off, saying to myself; OK, this movie has nearly the wrong way to do everything !There was some good sad song in the middle (thank god it didn't tend to make a dancing number through a flashback of one of the terrorists !). Plus the beauty of (Esha Deol), only her beauty since she was wholly wasted and irritatingly unused. But on the contrary everything, from the budget to the twists to the fistfights to the CGI, was real poor. And when it shows before the closing credits boards about the history of planes' hijacking I was sorry for a movie that couldn't achieve its basic mission (the enjoyable action), to beg any concern by adopting another mission (being a message movie !). I was astonished when I found *strange* reviews that got the nerve to compare Die Hard 2 to Hijack?? It's like comparing Sidney Poitier to Chris Rock ! For being merciful I may go and compare it to Jim Wynorski's (Crash Landing – 2005), and in this case, just this case, (Hijack) will find something to top ! This is nothing but another B movie; small, little campy, and generally not interesting. I believe all the movie's problems are related to the fact that (Kunal Shivdasani) is the one who wrote, directed, produced, and edited it single-handedly, in the first time he does any of that as well ! Still, what could be its brutal side is the fact of its long running time. It's just inhuman to follow (Shiny Ahuja) doing anything for 2 seconds, so how about 2 HOURS !!!

Avinash Patalay Noble intentions I am sure and on paper must have been a sure-shot winner. Sadly the project gets Lost in Translation.The plot simply fails to connect and numerous attempts to kick-start the interest in plot doesn't yield results. The entire plot is inspired from Kandahar hijacking episode and a lot of sub-plots are built around it (the newly-wedded couple, the wily politician etc). Shiny Ahuja's redemption doesn't help much either. His desperate attempt to be Bruce Die-Hard Willis takes him nowhere. Eesha Deol was pathetic, absolutely no screen presence at all. Sleepwalking eh?K K Raina tries to infuse life as Rasheed Omar but gives up in between.Had the movie been made just after the Kandahar episode, perhaps it would have had buyer, but today Hijack is well-past its sell-by-date.PS: Rohit Shetty's "Zameen" was relatively well handled on the subject of Kandahar hijacking.

saxena_ashes Small films are in. Shot completely inside an aircraft, the movie, as the name suggests, is about a plane hijacked by 6 terrorists demanding release of their boss. Shiny Ahuja, the ground maintenance engineer, manages to sneak in when the airplane is forced to land at Chandigarh airport. Nothing other than the expected follows when he kills them one by one and frees the hostages, his daughter being one of them. Oh yes, the star-cast has Esha Deol too, as an air-hostess who doesn't have to do anything anyway. The movie failed to create any interest, the age-old formula used, with no thrill whatsoever.

nauman421 This is another formula film coming out of the latest edition of Indian producers' film manual......... put some Muslim names as terrorists, don't miss any opportunity to insult that religion, copy some scenes from Hollywood and old Indian movies and bingo......... I have never seen such a predictable movie before. The hero of the movie is first shown as a pilot or co-pilot when his wife got killed in some plane hijack and then he becomes the engineer and knows all the tricks and techniques about the airplanes. The plane is standing on the airport and Mr. Hero is digging in holes in plane's floor with a drill machine and no one listens to it. Looks like the movie is made in some hurry and no importance has been given to editing and script. 2 out of 10.
