The much-awaited Bollywood movie Sky Force hit theatres on 24th January 2025, starring Akshay Kumar, Sara Ali Khan, and debutant Veer Pahariya. It is directed by Abhishek Kapoor, while the movie explores an interesting tale of India’s first airstrike during the 1965 Indo-Pak war, packed with historical drama and high octane action.

Against the backdrop of war, Sky Force narrates a tale of one of the bravest and most tactically genius pilots of the Indian Air Force, who give their lives for the country. The cast includes Akshay Kumar as a matured and seasoned pilot. Akshay brings a lot of intensity and gravitas on screen. Sara Ali Khan is very good in a supporting role. Veer Pahariya as the young and ambitious airman evinces curiosity among the fans.

The film received mixed reviews from critics and the audience. The actor's fans lauded the performer, while a viewer praised the movie thus: “Akshay Kumar is BRILLIANT in #SkyForce. That portrayal of COURAGE-so inspiring n honest.” No doubt, his Charismatic screen presence and devotion to his work shine as bright points in this film.

Yet, not everyone was equally impressed. Some have criticized everything from the screenplay to the pace of the movie, while some have voiced their disappointment about how the movie was done. As one comment goes viral, it says, “Sky Force has taken off… straight into the depths of disappointment! Akshay, even your fans are wondering if this movie was a ‘forced’ landing.”
According to insiders, Sky Force has already started creating ripples at the box office as advances reportedly crossed more than ₹5 crore alone. And for a reason: it is claimed to be filled with dazzling aerial combat visuals and patriotic elements for a greater cinematic experience.

Be it the history enthusiast, an action lover, or a fan of Akshay Kumar, Sky Force has something different to offer. The film takes you through the most important juncture in the history of India-bravery in the skies.

Will Sky Force go down as a patriotic classic, or will it always be remembered for its turbulence? Only time can tell. In any case, it is a film for sure that will spark off debates. Don’t miss this action-packed ode to India’s unsung heroes!
