Airlift will not bring a lump to your throat nor does it make you cry. Then what does it exactly do? IttĀ ells things in a straight-forward manner without any melodrama. But again, it manages to strike the right chord in you. Thatā€™s where the success of the movie lies.

Plot

During August 1990, about 1,70,000 Indians were stranded in Kuwait, which was raided by Iraq. Ranjit Katyal, who likes to see profit in his business, doesnā€™t have any great feeling for his home country, India. Also, he is affluent enough to move away from Kuwait with his wife and daughter. But he doesnā€™t do so. He sees to it that 1,70,000 Indians are also safe.Ā 

Star Performances

Akshay Kumar has delivered a restrained performance. It can very well be said that this is one of his outstanding performances to date. The way in which his character grasps the seriousness of the situation slowly but steadily is shown by Akshay in an exemplary manner.

Analysis

The tight walk rope for the filmmakers, when they make real life stories, is to see to it that it is neither exaggerated nor melodramatic.

There is a sense of prudence in every scene, and the script is written in a sharp manner. The movie is all about the disgusting effect of military heroics on the common people. At the end, of the movie, we learn that the character Ranjith Katyal is inspired by two men who were instrumental in the biggest military evacuation.Ā 

Whatā€™s there?

  • The movie is gripping all the way.
  • The movie is executed well by the director.Ā 
  • The editing is par excellence.Ā 
  • Unlike most of theĀ Bollywood films, the reality is the hero of Airlift.Ā 
  • Priya Sethā€™s cinematography is commendable.Ā 
  • Comedy is not sprinkled in the movieĀ just for the sake of it.Ā 

Whatā€™s not there?

The second half seems to lack little pace.Ā 

Verdict

The film is engrossing throughout. Watch it and experience its realism.Ā
