When Iraqi forces invade Kuwait in 1990, the world watches in shock, but for the over 170,000 stranded Indian citizens, it is a desperate fight for survival. At the center of this unprecedented crisis is Ranjit Katyal, a wealthy and powerful Indian businessman played by Akshay Kumar, who has always prioritized his own success over his heritage. As the city descends into chaos, Ranjit’s insulated life shatters, forcing him to confront his identity and responsibility. With his wife Amrita, portrayed by Nimrat Kaur, by his side, he makes a daring choice: to orchestrate the near-impossible evacuation of his countrymen from the war-torn region. This gripping drama-thriller, directed by Raja Menon, chronicles the incredible true story of the largest civilian airlift in history, pitting one man’s cunning and determination against overwhelming bureaucratic and geopolitical obstacles. The film masterfully builds tension and emotion as ordinary people are thrust into an extraordinary circumstance, showcasing a race against time where the stakes are nothing less than human life itself.
