Storyline
It is in this scenario that Ranjit Katyal (played by Akshay Kumar), a
wealthy and powerful Indian businessman, who has always seen himself as a
Kuwaiti, rather than an Indian, realizes that he no longer wields any
influence on the Iraqis, and that he and his family are in as much
danger as anyone else. Ranjit unknowingly becomes the man who all
170,000 Indians look up to for getting them out safely from Kuwait.
Airlift is the story of Indians stranded in Kuwait during this traumatic
time. A story of how they, with the help of Ranjit Katyal, managed to
survive the Iraqi invasion, and against all odds traveled a thousand
kilometers across the border into Amman, Jordan. From Amman, 170,000
Indians were brought home by the largest and the most successful
evacuation ever attempted by any country, in the history of the world.
Over 59 days, the Indian government systematically flew over 488 Air
India commercial flights into a war zone to evacuate all 170,000 Indians
and safely bring them
