Don't get yourself 'hijacked'
FILM: Hijack CAST: Shiney Ahuja, Esha Deol DIRECTOR: Kunal Shivdasani RANKING: Hijack is adman-turned-director Kunal Shivdasani’s debut film. An action thriller, the film is about Vikram Madan, a ground maintenance officer at the Chandigarh airport played by Shiney Ahuja, whose daughter is aboard a hijacked plane. Having lost his wife earlier in a similar situation, this time he is determined to save his daughter. With the help of the airhostess, Saira (played by Esha Deol) he outsmarts the terrorists and manages to save the day. When it is asked the cast of Hijack why we should be watching their film, this is what they had to say. Esha Deol said it's been directed by a new director and secondly it's a very realistically shot film. It's about being in a hijack situation. And thirdly, for Shiney and her. Kunal Shivdasani reacted that they must watch it to understand the meaning of the family. They must watch it also because of the great action in the film, and also because it's a roller coaster ride. Well, despite the high and lows, the unfortunate fact is that the film fails to make an impact. The plot is quite predictable and the dialogues insipid. Shiney Ahuja disappoints despite some commendable work in his earlier films and Esha Deol’s performance is so so kind . And although director Shivdasani makes an earnest effort to catch the audience to empathize with the hijacked passengers, he fails to develop their characters adequately and lend authenticity to some of the crucial scenes . And on that note all we can say is – don’t let the film hijack your weekend plans and watch it only if you wish to enjoy the show just for the entertainment purpose .
