Hijack: New Movie Of Old Formula
Hijack is based on the stale theme of a hero saving a hijacked plane from terrorists. There is nothing worthwhile in story except a few stunts by Shiney Ahuja. The story starts with bearded, belligerent jehadis hijacking a plane then demanding release of their saathi along with a safe passage to Dubai in lieu of sparing the lives of passengers in hijacked plane. Shiney Ahuja, hero of the movie saves the plane and deflate the plans of hijackers. Esha Deol plays the role of an airhostess of the hijacked plane.
The film has no substance along with lose form. The movie looks like hopeless combination of some Hollywood action thrillers. None of the characters has been structured impressively. Even Esha Deol, a talented actress couldn’t do much for the film. The film couldn’t exploit the acting talents of Shiney Ahuja and Esha Deol. Shiney Ahuja is seen either doing some stunts or singing some tuneless ditties in pallid flashbacks.
Director and producer of this movie must realize this fact that they can’t sell a film based of old formulas.
