High Jack, directed by Akarsh Khurana, is a stoner's take on a hijacking situation. It revolves around a bunch of first-time hijackers who get high along with the passengers on the flight they are trying to highjack. The result? A series of hilarious events. The makers were keen on releasing the film on 20 April, which also happens to be the World Stoner Day.

High Jack marks the entry of OTT Video Service Viu into films.
