“Us last flight ke baad maine ye kabhi nahi socha ki Desh ne mere liya kya kiya..”

A saga depicting a part of evacuation of 1.70 lacs Indians from Kuwait in the aftermath of attack by Iraq..

Well,it is a realistically well-made film which keeps us engrossed till the end…how the people sustain amidst atrocities n bloodshed and struggle to leave the country….how the bureaucratic hurdles impede it…but later the exit happens with the help of Indian Air Force…

The leader of pack is Katyal ( Akshay is a delight to watch! ), a rich n powerful man who like many others remembers his Indian roots only in distress but later helps hundreds of his countrymen by making impossible, possible. Akki is the soul of movie, gives one of the best performances of his career–restrained but solid act.Nimrat ‘Lunchbox’ Kaur is fabulous and so are some other co-actors like Prakash Belawdi as an irritating old man.

Narration and editing are top notch as well as the direction. It’s not a typical dance,-song-romance Bollywood film, but a serious n emotional depiction of a brave mission. More such stories narrating relatively unknown courageous acts should be brought before the rank n file via movies.

A MUST watch this Republic Day,undeniably!
