    Storyline

    Edit
    Akshay Kumar plays a Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) agent in this espionage thriller, inspired by true events. The story follows this star undercover agent who goes by the code name 'Bellbottom'. After a plane is hijacked and lands in Amritsar, the seventh hijacking incident in five years, he is brought in to save the day. Akshay's character plans a daring covert operation to rescue 210 hostages and neutralise four hijackers. Vaani Kapoor plays his wife while Huma Qureshi features as one of his team members. Lara Dutta looks almost unrecognisable as former prime minister Indira Gandhi.

    A Must Watch Spy Thriller
    Movie Starts slowly and gain Speed and get you glue to your seats at the interval with lots of expecatations from 2nd half and literally 2nd half has made this movie a wonderful experience. Fast paced, Suspense elements, Amazing BGM and Cinematography is amazing.

    Director has done a wonderful job.

    Akshay Kumar is king when it comes to this Spy kind of role.
