Sky Force Worldwide Box Office Collection Day 1: Akshay Kumar's Film Achieves Strong Opening Performance

Akshay Kumar's latest film, Sky Force, has generated significant excitement since its trailer release. The film, which hit theatres on January 24, 2025, features Kumar alongside Sara Ali Khan and Nimrit Kaur. It also marks the Bollywood debut of Veer Pahariya, son of business figures Sanjay Pahariya and Smruit Shinde. Directed by Abhishek Anil Kapur and Sandeep Kewlani, the movie captivates audiences with a story rooted in a historical event.

Sky Force explores India's first airstrike on Pakistan's Sargodha airbase during the 1965 Indo-Pakistani air war. This retaliatory strike is a significant chapter in the nations' conflict history. The filmmakers' choice to dramatise this event has heightened interest in the film. Despite various box office speculations, Sky Force appears to have made a strong start, resonating with both viewers and critics.

The opening day for Sky Force at the worldwide box office was promising. Reports indicate that it earned Rs 16.7 crores globally on its first day. This suggests a positive reception from audiences across different regions.

Sacnilk reported that Sky Force achieved a decent overseas collection on its opening day. The film garnered Rs 2 crores outside India, contributing to its overall success.

In an interview with HT City, Akshay Kumar shared insights about his role in Sky Force: "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".

The anticipation surrounding Sky Force was evident even before its release due to its intriguing storyline and star-studded cast. By focusing on such a pivotal historical event, the filmmakers have successfully captured audience interest and sparked discussions around this lesser-known chapter of history.
