There is no doubt about the ensemble featuring in the movie. The supporting characters are ably developed into believable entities that help the protagonist in achieving what he set out to- Ibrahim, George, Joseph, Kurien, Kohli and Nair deserve special mention.

The movie sags and becomes repetitive in between, but within few scenes it catches up. The story and the pace are highly realistic, so is the plight of the refugees shown in the movie. His efforts, his fights with the Iraqi military, his attempts to seek help from the Indian Government, his successes, his failures are beautifully woven in this story. With a few close friends, he works tirelessly to secure the lives of the 1.5 million Indians stranded in the no-man’s land.

Losing his driver to the young, mindless force sent by Saddam, the fear of losing his family to the war, and the trust placed on him by his company employees and their friends, relatives arouse his sense of responsibility. In fact, shouting out his Identity (he so often mocked) saves his ass in the first encounter with the Iraqis. His mean, calculative nature undergoes a slow transition induced overnight after the Iraqi troops invade Kuwait city on 2 August 1990. He barely touches his lost Indian roots and scoffs at people who still desire to be connected with their motherland.
The business tycoon played by the immensely-talented Akshay Kumar is a business man at heart he cares mostly about making a huge profit, advocates against friendship mingling with business, hardly interacts with non-influential people around him and owes Kuwait his success and therefore his allegiance. Within the first few minutes, the protagonist, his family and his principles are bared before the audience to make their own judgements. The movie begins with the eve of the Saddam Hussein’s ordered invasion of Iraq. Yes, it was a magnanimous effort by the real-life heroes (that are born from unlikely people in exceptional circumstances), and yes, the movie did justice in describing the intricacies of the successful evacuation. ‘Airlift’ was a movie inspired and dedicated to the Operations conducted for the largest civilian evacuation in the history of the world, for Indians stuck in the war-torn Kuwait.
Most of these unconventional stories also turn out to be ‘Hit’ films, mind you! Bollywood is slowly learning to deal with and slowly excel in producing challenging stories a few sensible movies made in the last 10 years exemplifythis fact. But, in the past few years, a gradual shift in the stories being churned out by this film industry has been observed. There’s no shred of doubt in the efficacy with which Bollywood can ‘remake’ Southern hits. Yes, Bollywood has been (and will be) minting out senseless, melodramatic, over-the-top films which do cross the 100 crore mark with utter ease.
