Rating: 9/10 (22 January 2016)

Based on India's biggest rescue operation of its citizens in war-torn Kuwait,Airlift is one of Akshay's best films till date! He plays the role of Ranjit Katyal, a Kuwait-based businessman, who lives with his wife Amrita(Nimrat Kaur) and daughter (Abida Hussain). His life turns upside down when Kuwait gets invaded by Iraqi forces. The rest of the movie is about Ranjit's struggle to safely evacuate the Indian Citizens of Kuwait. The highlight of the movie is the screenplay, which has been brilliantly written! An intriguing storyline, crisp editing and a vivid cinematography makes the movie bang for the buck!This movie is perhaps, one of the best in its genre. Akshay delivers a stellar performance. He gets into the flesh of the character and looks completely real. He shines in each and every scene! Nimrat, as Akshay's wife, performs at par with Akshay. Despite being just 2 films old (Peddlers and Lunchbox), she performs like a seasoned actor. Her 'outburst' scene is worth applauding! Purab Kohli has been aptly cast and he doesn't disappoint. Other actors perform equally well! Final Verdict- Just go for it. You won't be disappointed!
