Airlift is a movie based on a true life story of how an Indian saves thousands of people stranded because of the invasion of Iraq and the starting of the Gulf War.
Main Characters: Akshay Kumar as the main protagonist and Nimrat Kaur as his wife.
The plot: Akshay Kumar is a rich businessman who has a wife and a daughter. Evrything is going great in his small but happy life. There is a sudden attack by Iraq on Kuwait that leaves many Indians stranded. Akshay feels pity for all the injured, raped and brutally murdered. Being rich he has the option of leaving the country imediately because of his contacts. But instead he decides to use his contacts and his ability to save thousands of Indians and Airlift them back to their soil. The story beautifully sketches different emotions of love, humanity, bravery, hatred, etc
Acting by both the lead actors is superb. For once Akshay Kumar leaves behind his Khiladi image and gets into the skin of the role.
Few songs but beautifully touching ones. The storyline is such that by the end of the movie you will be left in tears but with pride.
Last word: Such movies do prove, that humanity does exist! Totally worth watching!
