Hijack -- A shade contrived

MOVIE: HIJACK
Actor: Shiney Ahuja and Esha Deol
Director: Kunal Shivdasani

Vikram Madan is a ground maintenance officer at the Chandigarh airport. Rajiv, the security chief of the airport, is his one and only friend. As luck would have it the flight in which Vikram’s daughter is traveling to Amritsar from Delhi, is hijacked. A group of terrorists takes control of the aeroplane to secure the release of Maqsood who had been captured by the Indian police. They threaten to kill the hostages otherwise. The flight is forced to land at Chandigarh airport. Vikram sneaks into the aircraft with the help of Saira, an airhostess. What follows is one man’s fight against international terrorists.

View: The movie is a shade contrived. It reminds me of another similar movie whose name I forget. It had Akshay Kumar in it. And of still another movie where the hero enters into the aircraft via the luggage cabin to save his fiancee
