Neerja

Neerja is a gripping and powerful true story of courage and sacrifice. The movie follows the life of Neerja Bhanot, a young Indian flight attendant who boards Pan Am flight 73 in 1986, unaware of the terrorist hijacking that awaits her. When the plane is taken over by a group of extremists, Neerja risks her life to protect the passengers, including 359 people on board.
