Akshay Kumar's 'Sky Force' Sees Strong Box Office Start Over Republic Day Weekend

The patriotic action-drama, based on India's 1965 airstrike, marks Kumar's most successful opening in years with ₹60 crore projected in its first three days.

The film opened with ₹11.25 crore on its first day and saw significant growth over the weekend, including ₹26.4 crore on Republic Day.
Sky Force, made on a ₹160 crore budget, has been hailed as Akshay Kumar's best-performing release in years after a series of flops.
The movie highlights the untold story of India's first airstrike during the 1965 Indo-Pakistani War, with Kumar playing a key IAF officer.
The film also marks the acting debut of Veer Pahariya and features Sara Ali Khan and Nimrat Kaur in pivotal roles.
Industry analysts attribute the film's success to positive word of mouth and discounted ticket pricing, though its performance on weekdays will be critical.
