Since the release of the film, Sonam Kapoor and the makers are being lauded for the film. Critics and audience, who have always thought about Sonam as a fashion icon only, changed their views about her after watching the film. Some have been saying this is, by far, the best performance she has given in her career. The actress effortlessly played the character and seems to have impressed everyone.
While Sonam and makers are being lauded for the film, some crew members who were present with Neerja Bhanot in the hijacked PAN AM flight, think this film had less reality in it. One of the crew members of the flight, Nupoor Abrol, shared her feelings about the film in her Facebook post. She said that Neerja was truly a hero, but other flight attendants were equally brave too.
She said “Yes, truly a very difficult moment. But also a difficult moment for all those flight attendants to accept the movie for what it is unfairly propagating. Neerja was a wonderful person and I think even her soul today would cringe at taking this undeserved adulation. Not fair to the FA’s who have in reality faced their ordeal!”
