Sky Force box office collection day 1: Akshay Kumar and Veer Pahariya¡¯s patriotic drama¡ªflying strong or grounded already?
Sky Force had a flying start with Rs 11.25 crore on Day 1, only to nosedive to Rs 0.81 crore on Day 2. Despite glowing reviews calling it a Republic Day must-watch, the film struggles to sustain momentum. Here¡¯s all the drama, ratings, and juicy box office details you need to know!
Bollywood¡¯s latest patriotic entertainer, Sky Force, soared high on Day 1, collecting Rs 11.25 crore (India net). Major metros like Mumbai and Bengaluru were buzzing, with evening and night shows boasting the best occupancy. But, oh, the turbulence hit hard on Day 2! Saturday¡¯s collections dropped to a shocking Rs 0.81 crore, bringing the two-day total to Rs 12.06 crore.
Sky Force: A stellar start?
Mumbai emerged as the MVP for Sky Force, with a whopping 26.75% occupancy on Day 1. Bengaluru wasn¡¯t far behind, while regions like NCR saw moderate numbers. The Hindi 2D version was the big moneymaker, proving once again that simplicity sells.
Critics love it, but is that enough?
Despite the dip, the film¡¯s got critics singing its praises. News18 Showsha called it a ¡°Republic Day treat,¡± highlighting its execution and modern take on patriotism. Friendship and loyalty take center stage here, steering clear of over-the-top nationalism. But will this vibe click with audiences long-term? The box office might have the final say.
The Fighter comparison¡ªcan Sky Force keep up?
The buzz around Sky Force brought inevitable comparisons to last year¡¯s Fighter featuring Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone. With a Rs 22.5 crore opening, Fighter went on to mint Rs 358.83 crore globally. Can Sky Force, with its fresh narrative about India¡¯s first airstrike during the 1965 war, match that energy? So far, it seems like a steep climb.
Sky Force starcast
Akshay Kumar leads the charge as IAF officer KO Ahuja, joined by debutant Veer Pahariya as T Vijaya, an officer who goes missing during the war. With Nimrat Kaur and Sara Ali Khan adding star power, the cast is a balanced mix of experience and novelty.
With its release perfectly timed for Republic Day week, Sky Force still has a chance to stabilize. Strong word-of-mouth and solid weekday occupancy could keep this flight from crashing. The real question is¡ªwill the audiences buckle in for the ride or abandon ship?
