Good
Things:
- The real and untold story of India’s biggest rescue mission is certainly worth a watch.
- Akshay Kumar delivered his brilliant performance in this Film.
- Nimrat Kaur has a smaller role and lesser chance to shine. Yet, she manages to do a fine job.
- Though the film is based on a real life event, its writer and director (Raja Krishna Menon) wrote very good draft with Suresh Nair, Rahul Nangiya and Ritesh Shah.
- Cinematography is also very awesome.
Bad
Things:
- Even though the story is real, in spite of adding fictional characters such as the Major, it lacks a good antagonist.
- First half’s screenplay seems quite weak. It would be better.
- They fail to give you nail-biting elements which was quite easily possible given the plot.
Which
time is the best (before interval or after interval)?
- Second half would be a good time!
Watch
or Not? :
- Airlift is a perfect republic day weekend watch.
- It’s not high on patriotism but help the right amount of it.
- Also, like always Akshay Kumar never lets you down with films coming from this genre.
- If you are a big fan of superstar Akshay Kumar and you like to watch those movies which are based on a real and true event then, you should give a chance to ‘Airlift’.
Airlift Review: The Final Word:
- Airlift is definitely a one-time watch since it is story of an unsung hero and also India’s proud moment.
- Akshay Kumar certainly gives an impressive performance.
- I am going with a 3.5/5* for the film.
