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.

"Gent|y.. gY- - "

"..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'|| 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.

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.

I want a blanket.

Maintain some discipline, dear.

May I help you sir?

30...30...

31. Your seat.

Put on your seatbelts.

Hello.

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?

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 cou|d'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...|ook! 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.

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.
