Live long and happy lives!
My blessings are with you!
Greetings. - Greetings.
Four plates of special Biryani.
Yes.
Here you are.
I've seen 'Anand' seven times. - Really?
That too at the theatres.
I remember every dialogue from that film.
Wow... bless you my 'Mureed'. - Who is 'Mureed.' My name is Neerja.
Oho! Mureed means fan. Fan.
Just like I am a fan of Dilip Kumar.
And I am Rajesh Khanna's.
May God bless you with a long life.
Life should be big, not long.
Well said! Goodbye.
Hi!
Yes. - Will you have some?
Sister's here!
- Go get ready.
Hi Laado (Darling)! - Hi brother.
Thank God you are here. It's a very boring party.
Hi My 3D. - So sorry I'm late.
Daddy's darling daughter!
Hi daddy!
Why are you so late?
Everyone has been asking "Where is Neerja?"
Why are you eating samosas? Are you hungry?
Did you eat the fruit I packed for you?
Yes. - I had packed flat bread for you.
She must have eaten nothing!
See! She didn't eat?
Look at her.
Look.
Good evening everybody!
Today, the boys and girls of Navjeevan society...
...are going to dance...
...to our favourite superstar Rajesh Khanna's song!
Everyone's favorite superstar or YOUR favorite superstar!
Mine too. - Mama not fair!
My favorite! Everyone's favorite!
Rajesh Khanna the super star's song!
Look at your son!
Sweet!
"Bye-bye!"
"Bye-bye miss, goodnight. We'll meet again tomorrow."
"The day was colourful, the dazzling night has arrived."
"Bye-bye miss, goodnight. We'll meet again tomorrow."
Those were the kids!
For Navjeevan society!
That was amazing!
And now a special performance by my parents!
They are going to sing!
They want you to sing, not me!
You haven't clicked a single good snap of me!
Click their snap!
"My heart has been crazy since childhood."
"Love is the reason for life."
"The flowers didn't impress me, I never enjoyed a nap in a hammock."
"I found solace in the softness of your tresses."
"Bye-bye miss, goodnight." - Ok, dad. That's it! Enough flirting!
And now...
...a special act!
Our society's Robot-boy!
"Bye-bye miss, goodnight. We'll meet again tomorrow."
"Bye-bye!" - "Bye-bye!"
He is here.
- He is here.
Go down.
Hello! - Hello!
Quickly!
Put it on the table.
Good evening.
She loves posing for snaps!
Don't bother.
Everyone kept waiting for you to liven up the party.
Hold it carefully.
Careful.
Did you see Mama dancing today?
She was having great fun! - You mimic!
I had to compete with you, right?
She's perfected the dance step.
Go to bed now.
Please wake me up in a while. - Go get some sleep. Don't you get tired?
Oh, Nikki!
Why don't you take sick leave?
I can't...
Shanti is also on sick leave...
...and this is my first flight as Head Purser.
Wow!
I'm not giving you this.
I'll read it on the flight.
Read it when you come back.
You won't die if you don't read it.
You're so mean.
Papa, I never got back the last magazine I gave her.
Look Laado, they're showing your commercial.
Which one?
You look like an aunty!
These are 4 AK47s, 8 grenades and bullets.
Safarini will wear the explosives belt.
Fahad and Mansoor, be careful with the grenades.
And these clothes are for you.
Rama!
It's 1 o'clock.
If you let her sleep some more then she'll get late.
I have to complete this article. You wake her up.
Laado!
It's 1 o'clock. - Let me sleep.
Okay sleep, dear.
You still have some time.
Your modeling career is going so well...
...do you have to work so hard?
Why don't you quit your job as an airhostess?
I like my job.
That's the problem.
You know...
...when your plane takes off...
...so does my blood pressure.
My blood pressure comes down only when your plane lands.
You ate three samosas yesterday...
...that's why your blood pressure's high.
Don't blame my plane.
Oh my baby!
By the way... - Huh?
Did you tell Karim bhai to pick you for the airport?
Jaideep's coming.
Okay.
I've switched on the water heater, dear.
Come on.
Pack the guns.
We will work hard.
We are prepared.
We will do anything to succeed in our mission.
We will definitely emerge victorious.
One more... - Mom.
Just a little more... - Ma, please.
Only a little.
Where's your ring? - Don't know. Can't find it.
What do you mean you can't find it?
Mom, I looked everywhere.
I told you never to take that ring off.
Did you look under the pillow?
I promise I searched the entire room.
It's not there.
Check the bathroom. - Mom...I've checked everywhere.
It's not here either.
You keep flitting around like a busy bee.
You get so many things done in a day...
...but you can't take care of a single ring.
I got it specially made for your safety.
My sweet mom.
If this happened then that wouldn't happen.
If that happened then this wouldn't.
Eventually what has to happen will happen. Understood?
Wow!
What film is this dialogue from?
My child! It's an original dialogue.
Stop spoiling her.
Wait, Laado.
I've made rolls!
Don't give all of it away. Keep some for yourself too.
Okay.
Bye, mom!
Oh...my vanity case.
Okay, bye.
Laado...your birthday's on the 7th. You won't be here!
I'll celebrate in Frankfurt!
But don't forget to get my birthday present.
Tell me what you want!
You remember to yell at me but you forgot this?
I want that yellow dress. - Yes, of course.
I remember now.
I'll definitely get that dress, dear.
Bye! - Bye!
Aunty, you take good care of uncle.
I made a big mistake.
Jaideep is the right boy for Laado.
I wonder why I got her married to Naresh.
Will Mansoor and Fahad be able to do their jobs?
- Yes, they have been properly trained. They're both good.
We will hijack the plane and meet in Cyprus.
In exchange for the passengers...
...we will get our brothers out of jail.
May God protect you.
Good bye! - Good bye!
May God protect you!
See you in Cyprus!
"Oh my dream girl, when will you come?"
"The weather is so fine, when will you come?"
I'm being really honest...
...when you're not here...
...I miss your voice the most.
But you don't like my voice, do you?
I listen to your voice with my heart, not my ears!
Oh really!
I really miss you.
"Gently.. gently.."
You can also say, "Jaideep, I also miss you".
"..the gentle breeze.."
"I miss you...mademoiselle."
"..my persona began to soar."
"Oh fragrant.. mesmerising love.."
"Deep, immersive love."
"I'll wrap myself in these thoughts."
"I'll connect to those memories."
"Oh fragrant.. mesmerising love.."
"Deep, immersive love."
Now slow down... stop here!
Hey I'm a good boy. I don't like where this is going.
Please don't waste time, just look at that.
What do you think?
Who's that?
Can't you see?
That's you?
No it's someone else.
That can't be you.
Very funny.
The photographer must have worked some magic.
I thought... since I am not here on my birthday...
... if you missed me... you could come here.
But you look really nice with makeup.
Thanks. Fine, let's go. Forget it.
Take me to the airport. - Listen...
I have to report at 2.30... - Listen!
What?
You look beautiful as a bride, mademoiselle.
"Gently.. gently.."
"..the gentle breeze.."
You look beautiful as a bride, mademoiselle.
It's 2:27am... 3 more minutes to go.
What do you need 3 minutes for?
These 3 minutes are very important for me.
Okay.
Your idol Rajesh Khanna is going to do me a huge favor.
In three minutes?
Okay.
What's this? - Your birthday present.
I'm opening it.
Not yet... - Why?
Open it on your birthday. - No, I'll open it now.
No! For my sake!
And.. - Hi, Jaideep.
Hello... - HI.
Tina, unfortunately..
..only we have to deal with grouchy company drivers.
You're right.
I wish our pickup was as cute.
Okay, guys, come on let's go. - And he's blushing by the way.
Let's go.
Sorry, bye. - Bye.
Bye, Jaideep!
Bye, Jaideep! See you!
Jaideep is so cute! I think you should marry him.
Marry him, or else she'll steal him from you.
She has the hugest crush on Jaideep.
Excuse me, sir.
Excuse me, sir. Sorry.
Let go of the past.
That was an arranged marriage.
He loves you.
You should consider giving life another chance.
Jaideep!
I'll miss you.
I'll miss you too.
Bye.
I'll open this on my birthday.
If they stop us, do as you've been told.
ID, Sir?
He's a diplomat from Libya.
We are here to see him off.
Sorry sir.
Come on...
Okay Sir.
Let them through!
Are all systems checked and serviceable?
Checked and serviceable.
Hi, Zone 4. All equipments checked and serviceable.
Thank you so much.
Debina, I'm going up to the pilots to let them know.
Debrief? - Yes.
Hi, Samarth. All okay? - Yes Neerja, everything is fine.
Hello.
Good morning, Captains. I'm Neerja Bhanot.
I'm your Head Purser today.
Good morning. - Hey Neerja. How are you?
Very well, Captain. I haven't learnt my French yet.
We flew last weekend to Paris together.
Okay, you know each other.
I'm Capt. Snipes.
Very nice to meet you, Captain.
This is my first flight as Head Purser.
Wow! Congratulations. - Thank you.
Let us know if you need anything.
Captain, this is for you.
Great. That's your staff list.
And we'd just love it if you could...
...get some tea up here once we're in the air.
Sure.
Indian habits, huh!
See you. - Bye.
We're ready to board.
Hi, we're ready to board.
Hi, Neerja. - Yes.
These are the Unaccompanied Minors travelling to Frankfurt.
Hello.
Hi. - Hi, how are you doing?
Careful, careful.
He's scared of flying.
Really? Why?
Because I've seen on television...
...that sometimes planes crash.
I thought I'll introduce you to the pilot...
...but, since you're scared... - No...I'll meet the pilot.
I won't be scared.
Fine.
Mom, I will sit with my dad.
Emergency Exit Lights.
Auto - Auto.
Oxygen masks.
Normal.
What's your name, dear? - Tina!
Debina.
Both of you look really beautiful. - Thank you.
This is my grandson Rahul. - Yes.
Hello. - Are you married?
No, not yet. - Grandma, please.
I'll talk to you later.
17D and 17E. Here. Right here.
Thank you.
May I see your boarding passes, please.
Come on. - Let me speak.
I want a blanket. - We're not sitting in a bus, dear.
I want a blanket.
Maintain some discipline, dear.
May I help you sir?
30...30...
31. Your seat. - Yeah okay, thank you.
May I help you sir? - Thank you.
Please let me know.
Put on your seatbelts.
Hello.
- Mr. Malone. 13J
I'll lead you to your seat. - Oh, that's so...
Mr. Malone.
Oh look honey, I think it's her.
Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Goldstein.
I'm Neerja Bhanot. I'm the Head Purser today.
If you need anything, please let me know.
May I ask you something? - Sir?
Is this you? - Yes, sir.
That's a beautiful picture. - You are very beautiful.
Thank you.
Sir your blanket.
Thanks.
You are flying with us till Frankfurt, is it?
Yes, we are going to see you in Frankfurt.
Perhaps. Great enjoy your flight.
I don't have patience like your mother. Hold this.
Since you are seated at the emergency exit, it's important to brief you.
Please do not open the door till the orders are given.
Is everyone aboard? - All passengers on board.
Have a safe flight Neerja. - Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Welcome aboard Pan Am 73 to New York, via Karachi and Frankfurt.
But you know I always love being back here in India...
Sir, please keep your seat upright.
...in fact, I'm in the middle of an intensive course in Hindi lessons.
So...here goes.
Hello, Ladies and Gentlemen.
My name's Capt. Jack Snipes.
It's now 4 a.m.
And we should be arriving in Karachi in about an hour and 20 minutes.
One small favor.
By the time we reach Frankfurt, if you could let me know...
...how my Hindi is.
He likes to talk a lot in Hindi.
Have a good flight.
What's this?
Love letter?
Did Jaideep give you this?
Jaideep has asked me to open it on my birthday.
Open it.
How will he know that you opened it on your birthday or not?
No! - Show na!
It's a matter of principle. I don't want to open it.
Why is everything a matter of principle for you?
How many principles can one have? - Stop it.
He's looking at us.
Give it back.
No chance, I don't have a magazine.
I need some reading material.
Please.
Fine, I'll open it.
I'll be the first one to read it.
Don't be mean, please give it back.
Okay...one condition.
Promise me you'll marry Jaideep.
Thank God you left Naresh.
Is your mother like this too?
Does she make your father order take-outs all the time?
No, my mother's a good cook.
I see...she's a good cook!
You could've learnt something from her before marriage.
Or maybe in trying to make you independent...
...she didn't teach you anything.
I'll learn everything soon, don't worry.
No, I'm not worried.
You know what the problem is Neerja?
We don't get paid to look pretty.
We have to work hard.
Do you know what "hard work" is?
And...look! How my hard-earned money...
...is being wasted!
But don't worry.
Give me your hand.
What's the amount on the bill?
45 Riyal.
45 Riyal. Hold this. Eat it.
Eat it.
I'll recover this 45 Riyal from your darling Daddy.
Oh yes, you're vegetarian. Throw it.
Where are you going?
To serve your friends.
You stay here.
Don't come out, understand?
Who is going to clean all this?
Me?
Should I call someone else?
Then do it.
Good for nothing...
Dad, I don't think I can make it.
It's taking me some time to adjust here.
So I think if I stay and spend some time here...
...without coming back, then I might adjust better.
Did anyone at home say something to you?
Should I have a word with Naresh?
No! Please don't talk to Naresh.
He knows. He suggested that...
...actually, we both took a joint decision...
...that I should stop modeling.
Look, dear...
...remember what I've been teaching you since you were a kid.
Listen to me.
First of all, stay strong.
Stay strong...it solves every problem.
Yes.
And second...
...don't ever do or tolerate anything wrong.
And third...
Yes...remember the first two statements.
You have to be a brave girl.
Now come on tell me...
Who is my brave girl?
Once more.
Do it properly.
Khalil!
Why are your hands shaking? Coward!
- Don't be scared.
You just need to follow the plan. That's all.
Come on, try again.
Be brave.
You have trained hard for this day.
Be brave.
Good morning, Ladies and Gentlemen.
We will be landing at Karachi International Airport shortly.
Please make sure your tray tables and seats are in the upright position.
Also make sure your seat belts are correctly fastened.

All fine?
All good. And I have a special gift for you.
As always.
Thank you. I'll go see the pilots.
How are you?

Who's there? - Sir, Imran Ali. Radio Engineer.
Good morning, Pilot. - Good morning.
Sir, any interference in the radio? - No. everything is good.
Okay, sir. Have a nice journey, sir.
Thanks.
Fahad. - Shoot! Now! Come on!

I like Amitabh Bachchan more.
How many times...

Fast, fast, fast!

Open the door.
What about the passengers? - We don't have time.
We cannot leave them.
Captain!
Open the door.
Open the door!
Move it.
Open it!
It can only be opened from the inside.
It is the right thing to do, because it's protocol.
But the passengers... - That is an order.
Open the door!
How did they escape? Huh?
I don't know. - Did you signal them? Huh!
They are all going to die because of you.
Get up!
Get up! Everyone, go down.
Go down!
Hurry up.
Move!
Move! Move!
Move!
The pilots escaped.
How did they escape?
They escaped from the cockpit.

So don't blame me for this.
What were you doing?
This is hijack! This is hijack!

No one moving.
This is a hijack!
You...hands up!
Hands up.
Everyone hands up!

Sorry! Sorry! - Who do you think I am?
Look at me! - I said sorry!
Look at me!
I am an American! I'll show you my passport!
Stay there!
How will we reach Cyprus?
- If the plane doesn't take off they are no good to us.
Brother! - Shut up!
- Let's kill all of them here if we can't reach Cyprus.
- Their dead bodies will get our brothers released from jail.
Kill them all!
We have to keep these passengers alive.
That's the only way to get the pilots.
Sit.
Sit here.
So did you leave the engine running? - Yes.
Yes, we followed protocol, so we left the engine running.
Great! - We evacuated the cockpit.
My passengers are on board.

They have no enmity with any of you.
Please...lower your hands. - No!

I am trying to help you.
If they stay calm and cooperate...
...and if they are reassured, then it'll make things easier for you.
Please understand.
Please.
Let the passengers lower their hands.
Please...please put your hands down.
Hands down! Hands down, everyone.
Sir, there are approximately 44 Pakistanis...
Did I ask you how many Pakistanis are on board?
What do you want me to do?
Go up there, check their passports.
Save the Pakistanis...
...and offer my regrets to the rest?
Sorry, sir.
Give me that!
Arrange for a van to go to the tarmac.
Okay, sir.
And... - Yes, sir.
I want a camera on the roof.
I want photographs of the hijackers.
Sit up.
My name is Inzamam.
I'm coming to help you out.
Are you hearing me?
I'm coming to help you out.
We should ask for pilots...
Otherwise we'll shoot the passengers.
Whatever your demand..
I will try to fulfil your demand.
Shutter down! Shutter down!
You shutter down!
Shutter down! Shutter down!
Shutter down! Down!
Quickly!
Come on!
Let the ladies and children go.

Go...announcement!
Radio operator...plane.

Until you talk to me..

I'll show you my passport. One second.
American!
Yeah, one second. I'll show you.
Sir, sir, sir...
Don't hit him!
Sir, sir, sir... wait.
Don't hit her. Don't hit her, sir.

- Be patient.
Please stay calm!

Kill! - 30 minutes are less, brother!
I'll speak to the authorities on your behalf.
I'm sure they'll agree to your demands.

Just a little more time. - 30.
Give us a little longer, brother.
One passenger...kill!
I'm here to help you. - 30!
No pilot... kill!
Kill everyone! - They are innocent.
They are not at fault.

Give me a little time. Please be patient.
Stair... Van... Move...
I'll get it moved. I'll get it moved.
There's...
...some news that...
...some flight has been hijacked.
Hijack?
Pan Am flight.
Which flight was she on?
Pan Am 73, but...
You know what...
Are you sure...
I'll call our guy Ismail, and confirm this...
...and check what's going on.
I mean...
...let's not speculate.
Give me five minutes, okay.
And I'll get back to you. Just five minutes, you relax.
Sit down.
I'll be back in five minutes.
How can you not send me the pilots?
Sir, Karachi Airport is your responsibility.
See what is the best you can do, but...
...Pan Am can't risk any of it's crew, sir.
And what about the airhostesses?
They are also a part of Pan Am.
What about them?
What can I say!
That's our policy.
Sorry. Excuse me.
Hello. - Hello, Harish.
I'm glad you called.
I've been getting this strange sinking feeling.
Well...actually...
...Laado's plane which had gone to Karachi...
...has been hijacked.
And...Neerja?
Neerja's...on board the flight.
We...we...
Mushtaq just informed me.
Rama, don't worry. I... I...
I mean...
I'm still at the office.
Just look after yourself, I... - Everything will be okay.
Nothing will happen to our Laado.
Don't worry. - I...I'll call you...
What if the pilots don't come? - Wait.
Open.
Open!
Shut up! Shut up!
Please... - Shut up, sit down!
Sit down! Sit down!
Pilots! Pilots!
My team is trying to get you pilots.
Sit down! Sit down! - Please be patient.
30 minutes...
30 minutes... over!
Brother, they're almost here.
30 minutes!
No pilots! 30 minutes!
Violence won't serve any purpose.
We'll solve the problem together. Please be patient.
Pilots!
I'm here to help you.
Shoot!
The longer you take, more people will die!
Move it!
Sit down!
Down! - Down!
Open door!
Neerja...come on baby.
Neerja...
Neerja!
Will you call your father again?
Once again Naresh is the bad guy, huh!
Who do you think you are?
I've been keeping count.
Been writing down every detail.
Every phone call... every food delivery, I'll make your father pay for everything.
Get it?
You just come out.
Come out Neerja!
Come out!
Open the door.
Stay strong...it solves every problem.
And secondly...
Don't ever do or tolerate something that's wrong.
Who's my brave girl?
Me.
Open the door.
Or I shoot!
Why move?
I tell you to move?
We shot the wrong man. Should've shot her.
Tina! Debina!
What?
Water.
Go back. No water. No water.
Sir, please.
No water!
Sir, I am only doing my job.
I'm performing my duty, just like you are.
Do it fast.
Brother...
Tough times, Inzamam.
Yes.
Have you sealed the airport?
Yes, the airport has been sealed.
Sir...the terrorists are from ANO.
Abu Nidal Organization? - Yes.
Sir, they will keep the passengers hostage...
...until their jailed comrades in Cyprus are freed.
You'll have to stall them for 2-3 hours till I get there.
I'm trying my best.
But they sound very restless and nervous.
Thankfully the pilots managed to escape.

Hello, Rama.
The government is negotiating with the terrorists.
You know, when she returned from her hijack training...
...I made it very clear.
Forget your training and all that...
... if you're in danger, just run for your life.
But she never listens to me.
Rama, I hope Laado... - I hope!
What do you mean I hope?
Laado's going to be fine.
She's absolutely fine.
Absolutely... Absolutely... She's absolutely fine.
Harish...we had two sons...
...yet I kept praying for a daughter.
Isn't it? - Yes.
At the time of her birth...
...there was a threat to her life, and mine too.
But...she didn't give up and neither did I.
So...God finally had to answer our prayers.
Yeah.. - So...who can snatch her from us now?
Don't worry.
Absolutely... - 100 percent...
Okay. - She'll come back...
Just watch.
She wants that yellow dress on her birthday.
I'll go get that.
Okay?
She will definitely come back.
Don't you worry.
What did papa say? - Wait.
Where are you going? - They have no news yet.
Actually... I...
I just need to go to the market.
Why do you need to go to the market now, mom?
I have to buy that yellow dress for Laado.
She wants to wear that. - I am coming too.
Aneesh, stay close to the phone.
If papa calls tell him we'll be back in half an hour.
- There are no American passports!
- No American passports? - No American.
Hey...come here.
Quickly...quickly...quickly.
No Americans? - Sir, I don't know sir.
Huh? - I don't know, sir.
No Americans? - I don't know.
Brother! What are you doing?
I was checking whether she's hiding the American passports.
Get all UK passports.
- Fast!
Ronnie Heston!

Please... - Get up!
Move!
Shoot you!
Shoot you! Shoot all of you!
Move!
Shut up!
Wonderful!
English, huh! Wonderful!
- Let's kill him, so that they send us the pilots sooner.
We have to keep the passengers alive.
It's been more than 8 hours. The negotiator is stalling us.
Let's kill this Englishman.
Be patient.
No time for patience...we must open the door right now...
...and kill this Englishman. - Brother! Stop!
I say kill the Englishman.
Look he's back.
Are you hearing me?
Because we had sealed the airport it's taking time for the pilots to reach.
Keep your mouth shut!
Where are the pilots?
Pilot! - How much time?
There's a radio engineer present on the plane.
Radio!
Now you can communicate with us through him on the radio.
Name? - His name is Imran Ali!
Imran... - Imran Ali.
Imran Ali.
Now you can communicate with us through him on the radio.
Imran Ali! - Imran Ali!

Sir please...
Sit! Sit!
Shut up!
Sit. Sit.
I am going.
Come. Go on.
Khalil, control the passengers!
Come on.
Windows...shut them.
Let me talk to them.
Yes, speak.
Fast... time!
The French crew pilots will be here soon.
How much longer?
They're asking how much longer will it take.
Like I said, Imran, they will be here soon.
I have only one request.
Please let the women and children go.
No women...no children! Pilot! Pilot!
The pilots are on their way, please be patient.
Tell him! Pilot! Pilot! Pilot!
At least give me enough time...
...to get information from Imran.
Please hurry up.
Five minutes.
- Okay, brother.
I'll let you know in a while.
- Be patient.
Why you not tell? Imran Ali?
Huh!
Why?
Come here. Come.
Hero, huh!
Sing.
Last song... sing.
Sing for them.
Sing.
Sing loud!
Sing the song.
I don't want to sing.
You don't want to sing? - No, I don't want to sing.
Sing!
Please...
Down!
Sing!
Okay, don't sing. - Okay, okay, I'll sing.
Sing!
- I'll sing!
Sing then!
"When will you come, Oh the woman of my dreams!"
"It's a fine day, when will you come?"
Louder... - "Come, Oh dear.."
Loud, loud...
"Oh the woman of my dreams!"
For everyone.
"When will you come.."
"It's a fine day, when will you come?"
"Come, Oh dear.."
Sing louder, or I'll shoot this one.
I want my mom.
"When will you come, Oh the woman of my dreams!"
"It's a fine day.."
Go sit. Hero.
Go!
Go, go, go.
'Laado!'
"Teach me to walk again, lift me in your arms, mom!"
"Wipe my face with your shawl, wherever you spot some dirt."
"When life stares down at me."
"I remember your words.."
"You're the one who scolded me for my mistakes!"
"Why isn't the whole world like you, mom?"
"I want to complain about everybody, they trouble me, mom."
"Give me shelter, call me to you, my heart is with you."
'Laado!'
He needs to use the washroom urgently.
Your plane...country...
Hey! What are you saying?
- Stand up!
Hey! Go back.
He needs to use the washroom. - Go back.
He's just a kid, let him go. - Go back!
He needs to go to the bathroom. - Go back.
Let them go.
I'll keep a watch.
What do you mean let them go?
- He's just a kid... - Is he your kid?
Brother, he's just a small kid.
That's the least we can do. Please control your anger.
Control my anger?
Are you trying to teach me?
Yes.
Yes? You are trying to teach me?
Khalil! What are you doing?
- What's going on here?
What's going on here? Why?
- Why? - He...
If we fight with each other the passengers will overpower us!
- Where's your head?
I'm sorry, aunty.
It's okay. It's okay.
Stop it!
Shhh. Come, come, come.
Move!
Go!
It's okay.
Open!
Little time?
Little time!
You need more time. - This is not a Pakistani airline.
So the pilots are taking longer to get here.
Tell him!
How much longer? More time? 5 minutes.
10 minutes.
20... 30...
You're letting them fool you.
What are you doing here?
Go down now. - Are you hearing me?
Khalil.
Khalil!
The devil is playing with us.
Go down now.
Now!
I know what to do.
Brother.
Brother?
Yes. - Imran's no more.
If the pilots don't get here...
...then each and every one...
- Keep talking to them.
Sit. Sit! - You killed?
Yeah, I killed him. You next? You next?
Sit down!
Where's the radio engineer?
Where?
Oh...dead.
He's dead!
I want my mother. - Me too.
We'll all go home soon, okay.
Eat something.
Here.
Mom, I am not hungry.
I made this specially for you, you must eat one.
I've a sore throat, so it hurts.
What do you feel like eating?
I don't want anything. Seriously, I don't want anything.
It'll get wasted.
How about we ask Sharma aunty...
...to teach us how to make chow mein.
If you learn to cook a few things...
...you'll have fewer problems when you go back.
I feel if Laado can mould herself...
...then things will be better.
I don't mean that she isn't trying...
Who said she is going back?
Instead of making her understand, you are encouraging her.
Girls always have to be the ones to adjust.
Can we discuss it some other time?
Let's talk about this later.
Will things get better by brushing this under the carpet?
There are differences in every marriage.
You can't give up on your marriage, dear.
You don't know everything... - Then tell me.
What happened?
Let's first finish.. Laado! Laado!
What's that?
Naresh wrote letters to papa.
"Dear sir, I don't like that...
...you keep calling up your daughter so often."
"No respectable father will ever let his daughter model..."
"If you call Neerja to Mumbai again..."
"...then don't bother sending her back."
"Even a poor man sends his daughter with gifts when she gets married."
"You sent Neerja empty-handed."
"Harish...your daughter doesn't know basic chores...even cleaning."
"She is of no use to me"
Mummy, I swear, I tried to do everything.
I swept and mopped the floors...
...washed clothes, cleaned the utensils.
When I came back home, the wound on my head...
...wasn't because I slipped and fell.
I am sorry, papa.
No, dear.
I couldn't be your brave girl.
I ran away.
No, dear.
I don't want to die before I am actually dead, mom.
I won't send my Laado anywhere.
I'll be right back.
What?
I'll give everyone something to eat.
Aren't you hungry? - Go!
I need help to distribute refreshments.
Let's just give food to everybody, okay.
Neerja, do something...please...
Some more.
- Hey... move back!
Back!
- Give!
Please read this.
On my signal, you have to open the emergency exit.
Get water. Go!
Move!
Back!
Hello!
Come on.
Sir. - Yes.
379 people are trapped on that plane.
Don't you think this can be quite humiliating for Pakistan?
Why should it be humiliating for Pakistan?
The terrorists are not from Pakistan.
The passengers' safety is our priority. We're doing the best we can.
Sir... - Yeah.
What are the demands of these people?
We're trying to talk to them.
As soon as we come to know, we'll let you know.
Sir...if we can't fulfill their demands...
...then what will the government's stance be?
Do you think that the Pakistani government is sitting idle?
You two will cover this section.
Yes sir!
Water.
"Neerja..."
"I have been eagerly waiting for your birthday."
"I've re-written this letter 15 times."
"But I finally found the courage to give it to you today."
"Neerja I know that you're afraid."
"Your fear is completely justified."
"Fear eventually gives us courage."
"Your past will try to stop you from moving on in life."
"But even with that fear, move one step forward for my sake."
"Marry me, mademoiselle."
"You are the one who believes that life should be big, not long."
"Let's live a big and grand life."
"Please say yes."
"By the way which film is that dialogue from? Safar right?"
Anand you idiot.
Good evening.
This is All India Radio.
You're listening to the news with Vandana Mehta.
In the headlines.
Due to the hijacking of Pan Am flight 73 in Karachi...
...the situation continues to be tense.
Even after 15 hours of negotiations...
...things are at an impasse.
It's being said that these terrorists...
..belong to Palestine's Abu Nidal Group.
There are more than 100 Indian passengers and flight crew on the plane.
Three men are in airport security uniforms. - Yes.
This guy is wearing a pathani suit.
Look at him carefully. He is their leader.
We have 4 entry points.
These two in the front.
The five of you will go in first... - Yes sir.
...from this entry point.
Yes, sir!
Please protect my daughter!
Sir. The target has opened the 2A window shutter.
What's the order, sir?
Don't shoot until you see all four targets.
Sir, the plane lights are off!
The auxiliary power's run out. - Let's go.
- Military has cut the power for the plane! They are going to enter the plane!
The military won't enter!
Only the light has gone off sir!
The military won't come inside. - Sir... the battery is down sir!
That will put the passengers in danger.
The time has come!
Everything will be over now!
Fahad! Mansoor! Fahad!
Kill them!
It's time.
It's just the emergency lights!
Shut up!
Sir the auxiliary power has run out.
Sit down!
Shut up!
Come on, come on! Let's go out!
Come on, get out!
Come on, slide down!
Out! Out!
Sanjana, come quickly.
Let's go. Come.
Come on, move!
Come on, move quickly!
Slide down!
Please open the door, sir.
I'll help you.
Come on.
Let's go!
Out! Come out! Come out! Sir, come out!
Mansoor!
No, Fahad. If you throw the grenade we'll all die!
We're already dead, Mansoor!
We can survive Fahad!
Let's go son.
Leave her, come with us.
We can still escape, Fahad!
Neerja, come on. - You go, I'm just coming.
Ma'am come!
Leave us.
Mama come. Come, come.
Samar, carefully! - Jump, jump!
Neerja, get down!
Neerja, let's go!
Sir, come on, sir.
Mama! I want my mama!
Neerja aunty, save us!
We want our mama. Please save us! Please!
Help me please!
Come, come on.
We have to go down this slide.
Come on. Come with me.
Jatin... get down.
Go down.
No, no, no...do you have any idea what we're going through.
I want to know the status of purser Neerja Bhanot.
No, I will not hold the line anymore.
I'm tired of holding the line!
Hello.
Why are you crying, son?
Why are you crying? Your sister will be fine.
Be quiet. Come here. She will be fine.
Why is he crying?
This is bad, you shouldn't cry like this.
Don't cry. It brings bad luck.
Mr. Harish...
...but there's a lot of confusion here.
It's difficult to get any information.
Give me some time...
I'll call you as soon as I find out anything.
Can you hear me? Hello.
Yes...thank you. - Bye.
Rama.
Let's go. Come on.
Shall we go?
Come, son. Let's go.
Hello. Welcome home!
Look...
...on your birthday.
Mama remembers, darling.
Neerja's mom. She sent a message for you.
What? - 'Pushpa, I hate tears.'
Neerja is no more.
It's been over a year...
It's hard to believe.
So cheerful...so full of life...
...so...happy-go-lucky.
And she...
...passed away on her 23rd birthday.
At first, it really hurt that...
... she sacrificed her life for her passengers.
She didn't even think about her mama once?
Everyone asks me...
...what kind of upbringing did you give your daughter...
...that she grew up to be as brave as a soldier...
...that the guns didn't scare her.
I didn't even know that...
...my daughter was so brave...
...and such a good hearted child.
In fact, I would keep nagging her.
"Don't work so hard."
"Lower your eyes while walking."
"Mind your own business."
"Think about your own honor and life, when in danger."
Isn't that what we teach our daughters?
We consider our brothers to be the brave ones.
Sisters expect their brothers to protect them.
No one ever asks a sister for protection.
That's how I raised Neerja as well.
You could share a laugh with her...
...make her recite any of Rajesh Khanna's dialogues.
But I wonder how this child...
...turned out to be so completely different.
Her horoscope said...
...that she was destined to be a shining light.
But when you lose your 23 year old daughter like this...
...that pain is impossible to describe.
There can be no bigger pain in the world than losing one's child.
At times, I felt like dying too.
People tell me that Neerja isn't dead, she has become immortal.
I console myself...
...that my Laado's become immortal.
But what about the haunting thought...
... that I'll never see my daughter again.
The night she was leaving for her last flight...
...I kept nagging her repeatedly.
"Do this...don't forget this...do that..." And she left.
I wish I had taken her in my arms just once...
...and hugged her tight.
Just once.
When Neerja received the highest honor for bravery, the Ashok Chakra...
...President Gyani Zail Singh consoled me.
He said...
...that there is no other mother in the country like you.
You should hold your head high with pride.
You should be proud.
"By sacrificing her life while trying to save the passengers..."
"...Ms. Neerja, displayed exceptional bravery under unusual circumstances."
Harish and I must have good karma...
...that Neerja was our daughter.
Even as she was breathing her last...
...she taught me how to live.
There was a small child on the plane, she told him...
"Tell my mama..."
Neerja's mom.
She sent a message for you.
That...
"Pushpa..."
"I hate tears!"
"This fleeting moment coaxes you to think beyond yourself.."
"Go on living.. go on living.."
"Forget the sorrow of strangers.."
"Let the sun shine through your window."
"Go on living.. go on living.."
"Beneath the feet is cold.."
"..the earth which beckons us to sprint."
"A lively fragrance in the chest of time, it leaves everything behind."
"Let the sands of the past slip through your fingers."
"Allow yourself to be in the here and the now."
"This fleeting moment coaxes you to think beyond yourself.."
"Go on living.. go on living.."
"A slice of laughter for taste.."
"A twig of life for keeps.."
"Go on living.. go on living.."
"Overcome the hiccups and hesitations.."
"This is the plea of time."
"Why die when you can live?"
"Drink the drops, it's the rain of your dreams.."
"Let the streams pave the paths."
"Let yourself go beyond the light."
"This fleeting moment coaxes you to think beyond yourself.."
"Go on living.. go on living.."
"This fleeting moment coaxes you to think beyond yourself.."
"Go on living.. go on living.."
"We'll look fear in the eyes."
"We'll pass through the path of danger."
"We've set out with passion.."
"We'll look fear in the eyes."
"When it rains from people's eyes.."
"..it marks the arrival of a new season."
"My dreams taught me to live."
"The night of life has passed.."
"Bright and shiny is the morning!"
"To hell with you, fear.."
"Your time's up, fear.."
"Let's get straight buddy, fear is nobody."
"Open your eyes, no shut. Tell fear to get lost!"
"Tell fear to get lost!"
"We'll look fear in the eyes."
"We'll pass through the path of danger."
"We've set out with passion.."
"We'll look fear in the eyes."
