Sky Force Box Office Collection: Akshay Kumar Achieves Second Highest Earnings Since COVID-19

Akshay Kumar, a prominent figure in Bollywood, is making waves with his latest film, Sky Force. Known for his patriotic roles, Akshay's new movie has stirred excitement among fans. Directed by Abhishek Anil Kapur and Sandeep Kewlani, this action drama features Sara Ali Khan, Nimrat Kaur, Sharad Kelkar, and newcomer Veer Pahariya. Sky Force is one of the most eagerly awaited films of 2025.

The film is inspired by India's first airstrike during the Indo-Pakistani war of 1965 at the Sargodha airbase. Akshay plays an Indian Air Force Officer for the first time, and his on-screen chemistry with Veer Pahariya has been well-received. The buzz around Sky Force has translated into steady box office success since its release.

Sky Force opened with Rs 11.25 crores and maintained a strong presence at the box office despite a significant drop on its first Monday. On day six (first Wednesday), it earned Rs 6 crores. However, there was a slight decline on day seven (first Thursday), with collections reaching Rs 5.50 crores, bringing the total to Rs 86.50 crores.

Remarkably, Sky Force achieved the highest first Thursday collection of 2025. With its current earnings of Rs 86.50 crores, it stands as Akshay Kumar's second highest-grossing film post-pandemic after Sooryavanshi. Observers are keen to see if Sky Force will maintain its momentum in the coming days.

Discussing Sky Force, Akshay shared with HT City: "Everyone declared him (Sqd. Ldr. A.B. Devaiah) a traitor and 23 saal tak kisi ko nahi pata tha that actually he was a hero. The character I play, Wing Commander K.O. Ahuja, based on Group Captain O.P Taneja, is senior to the character Veer plays in the film - T. Vijaya, based on Sqd. Ldr. Devaiah. Aap log vishwas karenge ki 23 saal baad inke parivar ko sarkaar ne maha vir chakra diya? The whole film is not only about war, it is also about what happens to the family and the children left behind."
