Awesome film though may not be accurate in terms of facts

Rating: 7/10 (30 January 2016)

It's very difficult to make a biopic on real events, Sometimes filmmakers are forced to take cinematic liberties inorder to get mass appeal Airlift based on the Iraq invasion in Kuwait in 1990 is perhaps not as accurate in terms of facts yet it's a brilliant movie. It moves you, makes you feel for the characters. The film starts off well and keeps you engaged, right from the start The entire evacuation part is well handled, also the characters of Ranjit Katyal(Akshay Kumar) or any other minor character. The film is handled well by Raja Menon There are few hiccups perhaps like as mentioned at times it's too filmy, although I wont mention the song in the boat as it doesn't really seem like a forced song as people have mentioned, The climax too is superb
Direction is good Music is decent, De Di is the best song rest songs are good too though some could be avoided Camera-work is superb, there have recreated 1990s kuwait in UAE brilliantly
Akshay Kumar excels in his role, the actor is growing with every film He is simply fab Nimrat Kaur is fab too, especially in the scene when she gives an answer to George Prakash Belavadi is fantastic in his role, Amongst others Ninad Kamat seen after a long time is good, rest are all good
