In fact I don't like Iraq but always we like the truth, This movie is empty from truth, Iraqi forces did not kill people like that, I'm Saudi and I know what happened, It was full of lies.

Airlift is a 2016 Indian war thriller film directed by Raja Krishna Menon, starring Akshay Kumar and Nimrat Kaur.[4] The script, written by Raja Krishna Menon developed the idea after studying the whole incident of the war, and which he subsequently expanded. The film follows Ranjit Katyal (Akshay Kumar), a Kuwait- based businessman, as he carries out the evacuation of Indians based in Kuwait during the Invasion of Kuwait by Saddam Hussein's Iraq.[5][6]With a budget of ₹300 million (US$4.5 million), the film premiered worldwide on 22 January 2016. The marketing of the film played an important role in the film's promotion and collaborated with the flight company Air India, who had a major contribution in the evacuation of record- breaking number of Indians during the war.

Airlift!!! What a movie...what a patriotism...excellent Akshay Kumar and Nimrat Kaur The movie is superb or we can say excellent. Akshay Kumar has proved himself that he can do any kind of films let it be comedy, action or patriotic. Akshay Kumar as of always a very good actor. Nimrat Kaur was also good at many parts. Top emotions, top songs and top acting by the whole star-cast of the movie. It is based on a reality of the year 1990, when Iraq invaded Kuwait city and were killing the innocent lives. The movie is short and sweet of 2 hrs and 5 mins and is very enjoyable. The people loved it a lot after the release. The songs are superb with a bit of good music. The first part is based on the invasion of Iraq on the Kuwait city and is short and sweet. People will love it very much. The second part after the intermission is based on the evacuation of 1,50,000 Indians from the invaded Kuwait city by a true patriot Ranjit Katial (Akshay Kumar). The best part of the movie is its simplicity and swift flowing. The climax is great. The song "Tu Bhoola Jise" created goosebumps in the whole body when Ranjit realizes the importance of India and Tiranga. What a perfect 26th January entertainer patriotic movie. Hats off Akshay Kumar. You will love the movie do not matter how many times you watch. A superb Action/Emotion/Patriotic thriller of the year. I will give 10/10 for AIRLIFT JAI HIND!!! JAI BHARAT!!!

Very few Bollywood movies are as moving and stirring as Airlift. Due to Akshay Kumar movies like this are seeing the light of the day and are getting the publicity which is necessary for these kind of non-commercial movies. I am reducing one star from this movie only because of the songs. Bollywood's love of songs are very harmful to a serious movie, and in this case, a documentary. Real life doesn't have any songs and documentaries should also be treated the same so that we don't snap out of the serious moments in the movies.The movie is pretty much flawless. Akshay Kumar immerses himself completely into the character. Every year he makes one such movie which begs you to ask him personally that why does he make all those mindless comedies which have no cinematic value. If you rate him on the basis of his commercial movies you will definitely rate him a 3/10. Then he comes up with a "Special 26" or "Baby" and you are completely thrown off-balance. He lets go of all his mannerisms and digs deep and gives such a convincing performance. Actors like Nimrat Kaur, Poorab Kohli or Kumud Mishra are completely in their zone and are almost taken for granted that they are going to do well and they do well.The direction is flawless. The CGI in the war affected areas are used aptly. Often producers go cheap on small scenes like that and they take you out of the moment because you start searching for the flaws. The director Raja Menon, didn't go for much gore or display of devastation. Instead he trusted his actors to portray the helplessness through their performance. The work of the Indian Government has been both sneered and praised. It is almost like a wake-up call for the Government to do their job by citing an incident which had occurred 26 years ago. It is a wake-up call to humanity in general, showing us that even though evolution has made us smart and technologically advanced but what do we become during times of desperation. This movie shows us that there is hope during the darkest times and also that there is hope for Indian cinema to come out of the trend of commercial movies because the audience is maturing.
