in every marriage.

You can't give up

on your marriage, dear.

You don't know everything...

- Then tell me.

What happened?

Let's first finish..

Laado! Laado!

What's that?

Naresh wrote letters to papa.

"Dear sir, I don't like that...

...you keep calling up

your daughter so often."

"No respectable father will

ever let his daughter model..."

"If you call Neerja to Mumbai again..."

"...then don't bother sending her back."

"Even a poor man sends his daughter

with gifts when she gets married."

"You sent Neerja empty-handed."

"Harish...your daughter doesn't

know basic chores...even cleaning."

"She is of no use to me"

Mummy, I swear, I

tried to do everything.

I swept and mapped the floors...

...washed clothes, cleaned the utensils.

When I came back home,

the wound on my head...

...wasn't because I slipped and fell.

I am sorry, papa.

No, dear.

I couldn't be your brave girl.

I ran away.

No, dear.

No, dear.

I don't want to die before

I am actually dead, mom.

I won't send my Laado anywhere.

I'll be right back.

What?

I'll give everyone something to eat.

Aren't you hungry?

- Go!

I need help to

distribute refreshments.

Let's just give food

to everybody, okay.

Neerja, do somethingmplease...

Some more.

- Hey... move back!

Back!

- Give!

Please read this.

On my signal,

you have to open the emergency exit.

Get water. Go!

Move!

Back!

Back!

Hello!

Hello!

Hello!

Come on.

Sir.

- Yes.

379 people are trapped on that plane.

Don't you think this can

be quite humiliating for Pakistan?

Why should it be

humiliating for Pakistan?

The terrorists are not from Pakistan.

The passengers safety is our

priority. We're doing the best we can.

Sir...

-Yeah.

What are the demands of these people?

We're trying to talk to them.

As soon as we come to know,

we'll let you know.

Sir...if we can't fulfill their demands...

...then what will the

government's stance be?

Do you think that the Pakistani

government is sitting idle?

You two will cover this section.

Yes sir!

Water.

"Neerja..."

"I have been eagerly

waiting for your birthday."

"I've re-written

this letter 15 times."

"But I finally found the courage

to give it to you today."

"Neerja I know that you're afraid."

"Your fear is completely justified."

"Fear eventually gives us courage."

"Your past will try to stop

you from moving on in |ife."

"But even with that fear, move

one step forward for my sake."

"Marry me, mademoiselle."

"You are the one who believes

that life should be big, not |ong."

"Let's live a big and grand |ife."

"Please say yes."

"By the way which film is that

dialogue from? Safar right?"

Anand you idiot.

Good evening.

This is All India Radio.

You're listening to the

news with Vandana Mehta.

In the headlines.

Due to the hijacking

of Pan Am flight 73 in Karachi...

...the situation

continues to be tense.

Even after 15 hours of negotiations...

...things are at an impasse.

It's being said

that these terrorists...

..be|ong to Pa|estine's

Abu Nidal Group.

There are more than 100 Indian

passengers and flight crew on the plane.

Three men are in airport

security uniforms. - Yes.

This guy is wearing a pathani suit.

Look at him carefully.

He is their leader.

We have 4 entry points.

These two in the front.

The five of you will go in first...

- Yes sir.

...from this entry point.

Yes, sir!

Please protect my daughter!

Please protect my daughter!

Please protect my daughter!

Sir. The target has opened

the 2A window shutter.

What's the order, sir?

Don't shoot until you

see all four targets.

Sir, the plane lights are off!

The auxiliary power's run out.

- Let's go.

- Military has cut the power for the plane!

They are going to enter the plane!

The military won't enter!

Only the light has gone off sir!

The military won't come inside.

- Sir... the battery is down sir!

That will put the

passengers in danger.

The time has come!

Everything will be over now!

Fahad! Mansoor! Fahad!

Kill them!

It's time.

It's just the emergency lights!

Shut up!

Sir the auxiliary power has run out.

Sit down!

Shut up!

Come on, come on! Let's go out!

Come on, get out!

Come on, slide down!

Out! Out!

Sanjana, come quickly.

Let's go.

Come.

Come on, move!

Come on, move quickly!

Slide down!

Please open the door, sir.

I'll help you.

Come on.

Let's g0!

Out! Come out!

Come out! Sir, come out!

Mansoor!

No, Fahad. If you throw

the grenade we'll all die!

We're already dead, Mansoor!

We can survive Fahad!

Let's go son.

Leave her, come with us.

We can still escape, Fahad!

Neerja, come on.

- You go, I'm just coming.

Ma'am come!

Leave us.

Mama come.

Come, come.

Samar, carefully!

- Jump, jump!

Neerja, get down!

Neerja, let's go!

Sir, come on, sir.

Mama! I want my mama!

Neerja aunty, save us!

We want our mama.

Please save us! Please!

Help me please!

Come, come on.

We have to go down this slide.

Come on. Come with me.

Jatin... get down.

Go down.

No, no, no...do you have any

idea what we're going through.

I want to know the status

of purser Neerja Bhanot.

No, I will not hold the line anymore.

I'm tired of holding the line!

Hello.

Hello.

Hello.

Why are you crying, son?

Why are you crying?

Your sister will be fine.

Be quiet. Come here.

She will be fine.

Why is he crying?

This is bad,

you shouldn't cry like this.

Don't cry. It brings bad luck.

Mr. Harish...

...but there's a lot of

confusion here.

It's difficult to get

any information.

Give me some time...

I'll call you as soon as

I find out anything.

Can you hear me? Hello.

Yes...thank you.

- Bye.

Rama.

Let's go. Come on.

Shall we go?

Come, son. Let's go.

Hello. Welcome home!

Look...

...on your birthday.

Mama remembers, darling.

Neerja's mom.

She sent a message for you.

What?

- Pushpa, I hate tears.

Neerja is no more.

It's been over a year...

It's hard to believe.

So cheerfu|...so full of life...

...so...happy-go-luckl-

And she...

...passed away on her 23rd birthday.

At first, it really hurt that...

she sacrificed her

life for her passengers.

She didn't even think

about her mama once?

Everyone asks me...

...what kind of upbringing

did you give your daughter...

...that she grew up to

be as brave as a soldier...

...that the guns didn't scare her.

I didn't even know that...

...my daughter was so brave...

...and such a good hearted child.

In fact,

I would keep nagging her.

"Don't work so hard."

"Lower your eyes while walking."

"Mind your own business."

"Think about your own honor

and life, when in danger."

Isn't that what we

teach our daughters?

We consider our brothers

to be the brave ones.

Sisters expect their

brothers to protect them.

No one ever asks

a sister for protection.

That's how I raised

Neerja as well.

That's how I raised

Neerja as well.

You could share a laugh with her...

...make her recite any

of Rajesh Khanna's dialogues.

But I wonder how this child...

...turned out to be
