Same opinion here. I felt the movie cared more for Akshay Kumar rather than the event. I found it good and bad in equal terms. You can catch my review here - http://letterboxd.com/waphire/film/airlift/

Absolutely. It's great when you compare it with other Bollywood films. But it really ain't that great. It's an OK movie, deserving of say, a 7.
shareThis movie is a one time watch.exaggerated by *beep* who think they should compare this with world cinema.it was so bland.I agree with the OP. I gave the movie an 8. The acting was generally good (especially Akshay Kumar) and several sequences were well done.
That said, the two songs were completely unnecessary. The subplot with the Kuwaiti woman was a rerun of the "humanity transcends race" cliché. The fight sequence with the Iraqi soldiers was laughable, especially when the bus-full of Indians came down the slope in Lord of the Rings style. The raising of the flag in slo-mo, accompanied by a song that hammers in the message that India does a lot for Indians, irritated me to tears with its corniness.
Oh, and the audience is supposed to believe that a joint-secretary in the Indian civil service has no office, not even a cubicle, but a desk space? Give me a break! Do the filmmakers even know how senior the position is?
