The film, based on a real life rescue operation of a group of nurses, spearheaded by an Indian Embassy Ambassador in Iraq at the time, tackled many of the geopolitical aspects of the war in Iraq and its impact on the Indian diaspora stuck there during the time. Take Off does not shy away from portraying the details of ISIS occupation of Mosul and Tikrit. Unlike other survival drama’s of ilk, we do not get chest thumping, moustache twirling terrorist ciphers, but the film is more interested in the machinations of how a terrorist occupation of this scale unfolds and its ideological minutia, leading to the loss of innocent lives. The film steers clear of overtly patronizing jingoism and sermons, and focuses on the human moments of weakness and strength, in the darkest of times.
