Kaveri who played a chic, rich girl in Hijack falls in love with the pilot Shiney culminating in almost a fairy tale romance. The joke went on for a few days and spawned many other jokes all on Kaveri who was embarrassed but laughed it off. ... Full Review

There are also emotional moments in the movie which has been brought out beautifully. Shiney Ahuja fits the role very well. But since her role is short, she's okay and quite satisfactory in her short role. Newcomer Kaveri Jha is wasted. ... Full Review

And this film is so uniquely on 'Hijack' that it can't be based on any other film. And, after that I got selected for the role, this really came as a surprise for me as there were some really good people for the audition. ... Full Review

if he had fended off with certain absurdities, the film would have been far convincing.....Kunal Shivdasani, an ad filmmaker hops down into filmmaking, not with a peculiar story.....The film looks sleek and stylish in terms of execution;....On the traits of father-daughter emotional adherences, Kunal Shivadsani surpasses our expectations..... ...

put across a wonderful performance.....The movie definitely is not up to international standards but good enough to appeal to the Indian audience.....Kunal Shivdasani has the talent and the skill....The first half of the movie is slightly slow paced and meanders unnecessarily around the plot with scenes and songs that are not required.....Supporting actors are good in their respective roles..... ...

One thing leads to another and his daughter, nearly 200 other passengers and Esha Deol [ Images ] , as air hostess Saira (with a laughably bad hairstyle that makes one appreciate Princess Leia's buns with renewed vigour), find themselves on an aircraft hijacked by the same terrorists, who attempted to secure the release of Rasheed earlier in the film. ...

Those who have seen and presumably enjoyed the Hollywood hijack thrillers like 'Executive Decision', 'Air Force One', 'Die Hard 2....others of the ilk, would find Hijack as painfully predictable as the horoscopes in cheap tabloids..... ... Full Review

Perhaps none have been and this very assumption abandons the film's credibility. Though the film intermittently attempts to show the hero's organized approach towards averting the hijack, the potboiler dishoom-dishoom end that it opts for dilutes the conviction. ... Full Review
