The film captures the story of the Indians stuck in Kuwait during that time, through the eyes of Ranjit Katiyal and a few other characters. This is a story about how these Indians, with the help of Ranjit Katiyal, managed to survive the Iraqi invasion, andagainst all odds, move across Iraq into Jordan, from where they were brought home to India by the largest ever Airlift attempted in the history of the world.
The movie is an appalling effort. It basically tries to piggy back on a historic event, ignoring critical movie requirements like casting, script, atmospherics and direction! Nimrat Kaur is reduced to being a non entity, mumbling some wifely inanities and sulking through large parts of the movie. The Iraqi General who is a fan of Akshay is an absolute cartoon.a caricature of whoever he was supposed to depict. Terrible movie about a fabulous part of recent Indian history. My humble opinion. Agree with most parts of the review
