Written and directed by Raja Menon, "Airlift" is a war movie based on a real-life incident. The film has a simple and straightforward story, about a heroic evacuation that has won a place in the Guinness World Records for India. The gripping screenplay makes the movie an edge-of-the-seat thriller, say the audiences.

Ranjit Katyal (Akshay Kumar) is a wealthy and powerful Indian businessman settled in Kuwait. He is married to Amrita (Nimrat Kaur), and feels prouder to be a Kuwaiti than an Indian. His life takes an interesting turn when Iraq invades Kuwait. How he evacuates 1.70 lakh Indians safely back to their home country forms the crux of the story.

Akshay Kumar has delivered a brilliant performance, which is the highlight of "Airlift". Nimrat Kaur, Feryna Wazheir, Inaamulhaq, Lena, Purab Kohli, Kumud Mishra and Prakash Belawadi have also done a superb job, and their performances are big assets of the movie, say the audience across the globe.

"Airlift" has superb production values. Amaal Mallik and Ankit Tiwari's music and background score, Priya Seth's cinematography, Hemanti Sarkar's editing and Raja Menon's gripping narration are main attractions on the technical front, say viewers. We bring you film-goers' verdict on the film, which they shared on Twitter. Here is the live update of the Airlift movie review by the audience:

Fanboy moment darling. U got my attention & how! Bravo. My favourite scene from #Airlift & @akshaykumar you've never seen before. Calm, Clever, Composed & Calculated. #Airlift is a role of a lifetime for Akshay & he nails it! Find a historical tale very few are familiar with & tell it with the gusto of great fiction. That is #Airlift. Every frame is heart pounding

#Airlift Interval: Fine. More of an emotional drama than a thriller. AK impresses & Nimrat is pretty, but there are a few distractions. #Airlift: Fab flight. Takes off with turbulence, but it has a gripping second half & a hair raising culmination which make it worth a watch. #Airlift: Shades of Argo and Baby are unavoidable. Yet, what makes this special is the overall emotional connect and the patriotic feels.

#Airlift - Akshay Kumar strikes back with another classic! Impressive! #RanjitKatiyal #Proud (4.5☆/5) The only thing i didn't like about #Airlift was that General Iraqi. He looks, talks & walks like a Bengali #BadCasting The best thing about #Airlift or any other patriotic movies of @akshaykumar is they're devoid of jingoism! The innocence @akshaykumar brings in his #RanjitKatiyal character is pure bliss One of his best performance #Airlift Just finished #Airlift for the 2nd time this time with parents, and they loved it #HouseFull #StandingOvation
