Akshay Kumar’s ‘Sky Force’ gets standing ovation! Fans declare it better than ‘Fighter’

Akshay Kumar is back on the big screen with Sky Force, an action-packed drama that marks the debut of Veer Pahariya. The film, based on India’s 1965 airstrike on Pakistan’s Sargodha airbase, has opened to mixed reviews, with praise for Akshay’s performance and the film’s action sequences, but some criticisms regarding its plot and CGI.

Many have compared Sky Force to Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone’s Fighter, but believe that Sky Force is superior with better visual effects and a patriotic story. One X user tweeted, “A no-nonsense patriotic movie, far better than Fighter a must-watch for Akshay Kumar fans.” Others also appreciated the action, with one commenting that the aerial stunts were “paisa vasool,” highlighting the film’s investment in content over star power. Akshay’s commanding presence was widely praised, with some fans even calling for a National Award for his performance. Sara Ali Khan was also appreciated for bringing a softer dynamic to the film, balancing the intensity with her role.

However, not all reviews were positive. Some viewers felt that the plot of the film was weak and the characters underdeveloped. One review criticized the chaotic action sequences and unconvincing CGI, while others found the emotional moments of the film forced and lacking depth. Despite these criticisms, Sky Force has generated buzz for its action and visual spectacle.

Directed by Abhishek Anil Kapur and Sandeep Kewlani, Sky Force is the tale of India’s first and most destructive airstrike during the Indo-Pakistani air war of 1965. Produced by Dinesh Vijan, Amar Kaushik, and Jyoti Deshpande, this film stars Akshay Kumar, Veer Pahariya, Sara Ali Khan, and Nimrat Kaur in important roles. Whether it’s a hit or miss seems to depend on personal taste, with action fans likely to find it thrilling, while others may feel it falls short on storytelling.
