But he doesn’t do so. He sees to it that 1,70,000 Indians are also safe.

, the director of Airlift, succeeds in making a film on an unsung hero. 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.
