Hijack

I watched Hijack & A Wednesday simultaneously. so I decided to write about them them together also  . as both are made on topic of terrorism , are in essence thrillers , directed by debutants Shivdasani & Neeraj Pandey  , they have released on the same day. But there is  marked difference between the two .

   While  Pandey makes a confident debut in this gripping thriller of a man who warns the commissioner of Police that he has planted five bombs in Mumbai city & demands the release of 4 terrorist . what happens next gets u completely off guard as  u aren’t expecting this at all . saying more on  the story will take away the enjoyment of watching the movie . strengthened by a tight script & allowing no props of songs - item numbers to take the interest away  a superb  thriller is created which keeps u on the edge of the seat & the climax is bold & different . even humor is added beautifully in this one

    In complete opposite Hijack is everything that A Wednesday is not . u have item numbers , songs & the real story starts in the second half , even there the directors fails to strike as he is unable to capture any moments that the story provided in abundance . there are one or two moments in the movie that keep u interested , but they are not enough as they are spoilt by the childish handling of the subject in hand .

     The same is the case of performances in both the movie the 2 veterans are superb only Naseer has the power to keep one glued on te screen while delivering along verbrose dialogue , in fact he is so good that may in the multiplex were clapping like front benchers in the single screen. Anupam is superb & he confrontation scene between the 2 is the highlight of the show . Jimmy Shergill as the hot headed cop is a powerhouse 7 Aamir is restraint as the cop who goes by the rules , even the cameos have performed extremely well from Deepal Shaw to Vj gaurav . in Hijack Shiney is the only knight of the armour . he tries but fails to rise above the childish script , the rest would have given tough competition in SrK-Saif Nareal awards for worst performances . but one guy who would sure take an award is the main villian who hams it up big time as if he is having a toothache Wednesday is better in technical dept as well right from fiery dialogues to slick editing , it scores everywhere

     While A Wednesday is one of the finest thriller to have arrived , Hijack is just anoter average bollywoodish wso called no-brain fare .2 extreme sides of the same genre .  Mr Sivdasani take some classes to Mr pandey on script writing please 7 then make another movie .
