We'll figure it out after landing.
We'll find a way.
What's he doing?
If he sets this at 7500 megahertz it'll set of a hijack alert
You don't act smart.
Should I inform them about the hijack now?
No! No.
Mayday! Mayday! Mayday! SK 957 presently at flight level 250
Reporting an emergency. We have structural damage
and engine malfunction. Requesting emergency landing.
Over.
Hey! Hey ! My bag. Give it to me.
Let it go...take it. Take it.
Sit down.
You....that's my handbag!
It doesn't matter. You can get another.
Everybody must drop your cellphones in this bag.
OK?
Drop you cellphones. Drop it here
Where's you phone?
You phone!
Come on. Fast.
(orders)
Where's the other one?
I don't have ...
Put it.
He's already given it, hasn't he?
Why are you hitting him again?
I don't have a cellphone. I don't use it.
Roger.
We got permission to land.
Where?
Tirupati.
(plane landing)
Everybody! Pull your window shades down.
Pull it down now!
What? Come again?
Yes. we have been hijacked.
You said there was some technical problem?
That is right but...
Don't ask too many questions...everything is true.
Who are you? What do you want?
I can't tell you . I want to speak to
the representatives of the Indian government.
As soon as possible.
What now?
Move! You sit down, sit down now!
Move in front, go. Sit down.
Everybody!
As long as you cooperate with us nothing will happen to you.
If you don't...I just have to press this button.
The whole plane will be blown to pieces.
Understand?
A challenge to the Indian government.
Another terrorist attack.
This morning the Starjet flight from Chennai to Delhi
was hijacked by terrorists.
It's not yet known whether the presence of central minister
Ramamurthy is a coincidence or a planned factor in this hijack.
No terrorist group has claimed responsibility yet....
There have been reports that more than 10 planes
around the country have been hijacked.
The hijackers have refused to speak to airport authorities.
The National Security Advisor, Krishnamurthy
and other Cabinet Ministers are on their way to Tirupati airport.
(Reporters jostling)
Yes, one by one...
Sir - who are the hijackers? What are their demands?
We don't have any information on that yet.
What do you expect their demands will be?
See, let's not get into any guessing-game.
This is not the time.
Sir - is the kidnapped minister safe?
Don't you know the difference between a kidnapping and a hijack?
The minister hasn't been kidnapped.
A flight has been hijacked and all the passengers are safe.
Sir do you think it's intelligence failure?
Well...we don't know yet. We must find out. We'll talk about it later..
Sir...will the government give in to their demands?
It depends on their demands.
But last month the Prime Minister said
we won't ever negotiate with terrorists.
Can't you ask sensible questions?
It's a matter of a 100 lives. Please!
Sir! One last question.
Why aren't the NSG commandos here yet?
They're on the way. They'll be here soon.
I'll talk to you later, that's it. That's it.
What are their demands?
I don't know. They wanted us to go to Rawalpindi, Pakistan.
The US president is visiting India next month
This could even be to stop the visit.
I'm sure the ISA is behind this.
I don't know about that- but they're well-trained.
They know aeronautics too.
But, our advantage is that we're still in India.
Our men have a good chance.
For what?
For a commando operation.
Don't worry, my dear. Nothing will happen.
The God Perumal resides in this city.
No aunty, I left without telling my husband.
Why?
We've been having some problems for a few days.
So I decided to leave him.
If I told him he wouldn't agree. So I left
saying I was going shopping.
Thank you.
What's your name?
Afsana.
Where are all of you from?
Pakistan. The child had a heart-operation in Chennai
She was undergoing treatment for 3 months.
By Allah's kindness, she's recovered.
We were returning to our country. Delhi to Karachi.
Look at them. Pestering that little child.
What madmen...damn them....
I know tamil - so watch out.
Why can't you keep quiet?
Just a sec. Who are you?
Why are you holding us hostage?
You'll find out in good time.
If you have a problem with someone,
where's the justice in holding innocent people hostage?
Yes. What have we done?
You can tell us what your demands are, sir!
I am a Central Minister. You can talk to me
as a representative of the government.
Your government dances to America's tune, doesn't it?
As far as we are concerned you're an enemy as well!
Sit down.
Hello! You're talking of America...what do you think you're doing?
Bombing innocent people,
placing bombs outside schools.
Bombing people returning from worship...
Do you call this a Holy War?
We used non-violence to gain independence for our country...
The peaceful Muslims who are a part of our country...
do you know the problems they face because of your stupidity?
People like you ignore the reports of Muslims killed in
fake encounters by the police! Shut up and sit down!
Sit down, sit down!
You know...do we have people like this even in our country?
They're all over the world! Look at your family for starters!
Hello! K. Viswanath here, Home Secretary.
Oh! You're Tamil, are you? Then why don't you speak Tamil?
You speak Tamil?
We speak every one of the 15 languages
on your currency note.
OK ok. Look. How are the passengers?
Everyone's safe. Including the minister.
How many of you are there?
There are millions of us...
No no. I mean how many on the flight?
That's not relevant to you.
All you need to know is this:
First, the building and tarmac should be brightly lit up.
Second, no one should come close without
our permission or we'll blow up the whole plane.
Ok relax!
Who are you and what are you demands?
Yousuf Khan.
(Helicopter landing)
If we'd known this was going to happen....
we could have just killed him that day.
Instead, we're giving him three square meals
and protection. Why? So we can hand him over hale and hearty.
What are we? Caretakers?
Isn't that a good job?
He threw a fit, last week, because
the biriyani wasn't good enough, did you hear?
Anyway, there's something amusing related to this
I saw a movie last month with Chandrakant
the guy on the plane, he was the hero.
He's the one who arrests Yousuf Khan.
Really?
Oh yes- and how! Yousuf Khan was escaping in a helicopter
Our hero climbs to the top of a tall building
and leaps up and grabs....
Hey hey hey! What on earth is this?
Seriously, Ravi! And listen to what comes next..
No thank you! This is more than enough...
The movie had a good run?
The hero ran all through the movie...
the movie didn't have such a good run.
I've heard of movies you can't watch,
but this one's awful to even hear about!
But there was one thing.
The guy who played Yousuf Khan looked exactly like him!
It was the only thing I liked...
Really?
(trolley dragged to plane)
Are you from Chennai?
Why don't you mind your own business?
Look here now!
We're on a hijacked plane and don't know
if we'll get out alive. As long as we're here -
we have to stand by one another. Understand?
My name is Vinod. What's yours?
Sandhya.
Good.
There's nothing that can't be talked over and resolved...
How much can you talk things over, aunty?
I'm sick of talking. 7 years...working through the day
out with his friends at night...returning home late, drunk.
If I asked why, he'd just drink some more.
I couldn't take it any longer.
When people says it's my fault we're childless...
It makes me want to die!
What a situation...!
Don't cry, my dear.
You're plotting something.
I understand.
There are only 5 of them. That's nothing for you.
You're just waiting for the right time to attack...right?
You're not alone. We're all behind you.
If I can do anything, just let me know.
Come in closer...
they have no idea that you 'appear silent,
but when you attack, you're violent'!
Excuse me. It's getting on to 6.
Nobody's eaten since morning.
Nothing will happen to them if they go one day
without food.
For us, yes. But there are children
and sugar-patients on board.
Yes, I have high BP. I must eat and take my medicine.
See. If anything happens to the passengers
you're going to have a problem.
Don't worry, Captain. We know what to do.
(bell rings)
That's the bell of a Church close by.
Excuse me, I have a request.
This is Lent. A very important time for us.
Usually there's a Church service at this time.
Please allow me to read the Bible...
No. Nothing doing.
I don't mind reading the Q'uran either, if you have one.
All religions say the same thing.
Please.
OK.
Thank you. God bless you.
Father, would you read it aloud please?
We can all listen. Please
Go ahead.
Thank you.
The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: righteousness for His name' sake....
......I will fear no evil: For thou art with me; Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.
...Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies;
Thou annointest my head with oil....Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life,
