Airlift is well executed and well acted by Akshay kumar.This movie is one the best movie of bollywood.It is August 1990.Kuwait based indian businessman is awoke rudely from slumber by the news and Iraqi forces have attacked the city.It is the sort of awakening that shakes loose Katyal from his cocooned wealthy life, which he shares with his wife Amrita and young daughter forcing him to deal with series of dangerous situation and leading to evolution of more than lakh indians stuck between Saddam Hussain brutal force and alarmingly slow to take heed indian state.
The film is based upon true story conflict and bloodshed that took place twenty five years back in kuwait and way it is done with a sense of urgency and immediacy.I like this movie and after this movie I am proud to be indian.
