I have been thinking for quite a few days and was contemplating whether to start a topic on this or not. I decided why not. It's always fun to hear other people's opinions. The movie neerja has become a huge success and everyone is giving complete credit to sonam. I am not denying the fact that sonam has acted well in the movie but I honestly feel the movie is a success due to the actual neerja and her bravery. People are applauding the movie and are emotional about it because of the actual neerja and not sonam. So everyone saying that sonam is an extremely good actress, she can carry a movie on her shoulders need to realise that sonam chose to act in such a movie which is based on a true brave character. If any other actress had done the movie. The movie would have received the same amount of success because at the end of the day the real neerja is the reason and it's her story.

If this was the case why Mary Kom wasn't Block Buster!
Its a Team work Ram,Atul,Sawiyan and whole cast along with sonam nailed it to make believe this is real Neerja story.
ppl were saying neerja will be flop.so if real neerja story is the reason then why at trailer time ppl claimed it will be flop.
Accept it,its a team hard work 👏 and WOM was really good.the Buzz inspite of low screens and ban in Pakistan which Neerja got 👏 .. Whole team and sonam is applaud worthy too the way she promoted. Some ppl saw Neerja 7 times coz the way sonam portray the character if it was bad ppl would have bashing her.

Everyone associated with the movie is responsible.. there is a huge difference between Mary Kom and Neerja.. Neerja is no more and thus her story did intrigue a lot of people.. Sonam did a fair job too.. so Neerja along with everyone else associated with the movie is responsible for its success, especially the director.. he deserves a standing ovation👏

I will just say that its a team effort. Yes, the real Neerja who's no longer with us was definitely an intrigue factor. But if Sonam & the entire cast/crew hadn't done a good job in this movie, there wouldn't be good WOM & the movie would not have done well. So yes, the movie would not have existed without Neerja, but whether it would have done well & be appreciated is a different story altogether.

W*F logic


Mary Kom is also a biopic and very interesting subject to make people interested but it underperformed ..so by the TM's logic mary kom failed cos of actual mary kom ?


pre neerja release members used to mock sonam and predicted the movie would be a flop cos of her!! but now when the movie is getting all praises the same people want to give the credit to actual neerja ? SMH

👏 The lengths people go to to disregard an actress's hard-work.
Hatred truly makes people blind...

dead wrong.
the movie was beautifully made, well directed, and performed by each and every member on board.
I salute the respect given to Neerja thru this movie.

many other biopics made, faltered...hell I even think Bajirao mastani sucked to an extent cos mastani performance was bloody lame.

Nobody is giving complete credit to Sonam..she herself credits the director for her performance..and they all say its team effort..including everybody who gave their inputs..even Neerja's family.
If one paid attention..even the promotions were all about Neerja..making people aware of her story..finding courage in fear and putting others before herself in crisis..For Sonam..it was not about herself..it was all about Neerja..so yes credit goes to Neerja..Usne kaam hi aisa kiya hai Jo duniya ko inspire karey..and she has been rightfully given the credit..
As for the movie..yes somebody else could have done it..interepreted the character her way and it would still have worked..coz the story and team is fabulous..But it happened to be Sonam..and she did full justice to Neerja..she brought her own honesty, earnestness and grace to the character..
So applaud the team rather than discrediting someone
Even the reviews laud everybody

true that real Neerja is the hero here n the crowd puller..
bt then again if Sonam did not have that caliber then would
the director producer cast her in that movie?it is no small tale
to take a mediocre actress..no one will gamble with that no one is
so lame or stupid..so i would say 60% real Neerja won..with her selfless act..
15% credit to producer director cast..rest of the credit come on let us be
generous give credit to sonam differentiate the actor from the personality
which many has issue i understand..bt then when watching a movie ur not seing
the personality bt the actor who portrays that character efficiently..
so sonam deserves that much respect at least..😊
