Neerja is an Indian biopic-thriller about the heroic efforts of 22-year-old air hostess Neerja Bhanot, who sacrificed her life while protecting the lives of her 359 passengers and fellow crew members on Pan An Flight 73 after a terrorist organisation hijacked the plane during a layover in Pakistan in 1986. The plane had deported Bombay and was scheduled to arrive in New York with a stop at Jinnah International Airport in Karachi, Pakistan. Then the unthinkable happened. At just 22 years old (she died days before her 23rd birthday), Neerja was working diligently to reinvent her life and had a promising career as one of the airline's top pursers, or chief flight attendants.
