Another movie is based on hijack concept as we have seen in Zameen, Yeh Dil Aashiqana and other movies in past.

One can predict the story in the beginning only and guess what one will find no difference.

Just before the end credits roll, this film gives statistical data on the figures of hijack happened across the globe. As per the records around 900+ air-hijacks have taken place till date but no data is specified on the number of hijacks foiled. More so with the film's pompous approach where the hero single-handedly fights a group of hijackers, this one wins an unfeasible larger-than-life tag.

The story of ‘Hijack’ revolves around the life of Vikram Madan (Shiney Ahuja). He is an ex-pilot, who once used to serve in a commercial airline.

However, now he works as a maintenance engineer, in a ground job at the Chandigarh airport. His social life is limited to just on friend, Rajiv, who is the security Chief at the airport. Vikram had lost his wife, in a hijack situation, when he was still a pilot.
The demons from the past come back to haunt him once again, this time when his daughter gets entangled in a similar situation. Now, he has to come face to face with his past and defeat the long-buried devils.

The terrorists who have hijacked the plane demand the release of their mastermind Rasheed (KK Raina), in exchange of the lives of the innocent passengers. One of the passengers is Vikram’s daughter. Now, he has no other option, but to sneak into the aircraft. He is helped in his endeavor by an airhostess on-board the hijacked plane, Saira (Esha Deol).

He starts plotting and killing the terrorists on by one. Some innocent passengers too become victims of the gunshots by the ruthless terrorists in the process. Somehow, Vikram and Saira manage to save the day.

Though Kunal Shivdasani's direction isn't shoddy, it's still far-fetched to digest that one man thwarts the entire hijack plan.  While the first half is ok and bearable, the movie picks speed and gives a kick start in the second half only. In a span of 20-25 minutes of the second half, one gets to predict what the director exactly wants to show.

The movie is all about unusual mid-air stunts and some serious kick- butting action stunts given by Allan Amin. The music of the movie is not upto mark but the background scores a lot.

Shiney Ahuja fits the role very well. He is efficient, but he looks a bit untidy and shabby in certain places. Esha Deol has little to do. But since her role is short, she’s okay and quite satisfactory in her short role. Newcomer Kaveri Jha is wasted. K.K. Raina enacts his part convincingly. The main terrorist, Mushtaq Kak, leaves a mark and his work is appraisable.

All in all, ‘Hijack’ is an average movie, a one time watch.
