'Neerja' voted most liked female-centric film of 2016

With the industry and critics raving about Sonam Kapoor's performance in Neerja, the star has catapulted her way to the top as the film went on to do spectacular business at the box office, apart from being critically acclaimed.   The actress finally came into her own with ‘Neerja’, in what we can only describe as a performance that is truly career defining and one of a lifetime. 2016 saw several female-centric films and flagging it off was 'Neerja', the story of the PAN Am brave heart who risked her life selflessly for passengers on-board her hijacked flight.

  In a recent poll conducted, Neerja elbowed out other films like 'Akira' and 'Sarbjit' among others to become the most liked female-centric film of 2016 by a clear margin. With 64% votes, the Sonam Kapoor starrer was the clear winner. The actress was also honored with the award for Best Actress, for her portrayal of Neerja Bhanot, at the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne recently.
