Airlift shows you absolute truth but still manages to inspire patriotic feelings

Rating: 8/10 (24 January 2016)

Airlift is not a very thrilling movie. What it is, is a crisp depiction of true incidents which make you respect the character of Ranjit Katyal in the movie. A successful man, who was righteous and moral at the right time. Nimrat Kaur plays the role of a rich man's wife and aristocratic mother with great conviction. The depiction of the whole scenario is so real, that the realism leaves you gasping. The supporting actors have done a wonderful job with Purab Kohli playing a very likable Ibrahim. The action of India during that time was indeed heroic, but the good part is the movie doesn't actually overdo it, and induces a patriotic feeling in a subtle manner with minimum drama. Overall, AIRLIFT is a must watch one-time watch movie.
