This is second movie released on same day and having same topic in common. That is.. terrorism. So the movie is about some terrorist Hijacking a plane who want to get some terrorist freed up. So what is up with this movie, do it served its purpose ? And above all, was it able to entertain the people who spent money to watch this movie in multiplexes and theaters ?

As said, the plot is about a plane hijack. But looking into deep, you will found that the execution is not consistent. At first Hijackers want plane to go Dubai and later on lands into Chandigarh as its low in fuel. So terrorist were not prepared about their plan ? Anyways, here we meet our lead character Vikram Madan (Shiney Ahuja) who is now looking after maintenance of the airport here but earlier was a pilot. His license is canceled as during one such hijack attempt he violated rules and his wife was also killed in that incident.

Now, incidentally his daughter is also in same hijacked plane. As he lost his wife later, now he don't want to loose his daughter and move alone to take the responsibility to save this plane. He is supported by only one person .. a airhostess Saira(Isha Deol).

Reason is convincing enough that a person who lost his wife and now life of his daughter is on sake so he decides to move alone to take control of everything but in movie it was not convincing at all. Though director tried to show that how our Hero makes plan and goes systematic but script clearly looks too amateurish. Lots of flaws are there.

Its good to see the attempt but its disappointing. And songs are just wastage of time here in such movies. Despite of fair enough effort from Shiney, the movie fails to excite you.

There are lots of cinematic liberties taken here which just ruins it all. Esha deol do not leave any impact.

We have seen many such effort in Hollywood but if you are going to compare this one from any from later then there is no comparison. Looks like we still have to go far meanwhile enjoy flicks from bollywood.

Overall, could have been a nice package but ill treatment and lousy script is disappointment. Too much bollywood style liberties.

I give it 2/5

Kindly give your views too :)
