The untold story of India’s biggest evacuation mission is certainly worth a watch.
Akshay Kumar delivers a subtle yet compelling performance.Airlift is a perfect Republic day weekend watch.
It’s not high on patriotism but has the right amount of it. Also, like always Akshay Kumar never lets you down with films coming from this genre.
One of the most beneficial things for writers of Airlift is the fact that in spite of being a real-life incident, not many have heard about the world’s largest evacuation led by India. This works in favor because there is a sense of astonishment amongst the audiences that the writers can play with by building a gripping tale around it. Unfortunately, with Airlift the pace of the story remains the same all through.
They fail to give you nail-biting elements which was quite easily possible given the plot.Akshay Kumar gives yet another strong performance after Baby. He is impressive as Ranjit going from a proud Kuwaiti to a thankful Indian.The songs are placed decently and create no nuisance in the story. I loved the background score that plays when the invasion has just begun.this is 2016 best movie I think.
