Ahuja’s Hijack Movie Review
August 18, 2010 – 6:41 amAhuja’s Hijack Movie Review
Hijack is Shiney Ahuja’s first attempt to do an out and out action thriller. The thinking actor usually stays away typical commercial fair but categorizing Hijack as a typical potboiler would be incorrect too. The movie is realistic without losing its entertainment value.
While the first hour is passable, the wheels catch speed only towards the second hour. The highpoint of the enterprise is the penultimate 20/25 minutes and it’s in these portions that you realize how fine a storyteller Kunal is. Since Kunal is also credited with the editing, although the pace doesn’t slacken, Kunal could’ve trimmed the non-actors’ roles [playing friends] as also shortened the romantic song [’Yaad Mein’].
Shiney Ahuja fits the role well. He is efficient, but why is he looking untidy/shabby at places? He ought to take care of his looks and styling. Esha Deol has little to do. She’s okay. K.K. Raina enacts his part convincingly.The main terrorist, Mushtaq Kak, leaves a mark. Kaveri Jha gets no scope, though she looks photogenic. The actor playing Kumar, Satyajeet, is efficient. Mona Ambegaonkar is competent. Ditto for the actor enacting the role of the Minister.
On the whole, HIJACK is an engrossing fare, more so towards its second hour. Also, the emotional undercurrent comes out well too. However, from the business point of view, the Ramzan period might make a dent in its business, despite strong merits.
