Akshay Kumar’s latest military drama, “Sky Force,” continues to perform at the box office, crossing ₹86.95 crore within seven days of release. The film, which narrates India’s historic airstrike on Pakistan’s Sargodha airbase during the 1965 Indo-Pakistani war, has remained steady despite a natural weekday slowdown.
Strong Opening and Initial Growth
The film had a solid ₹12.25 crore opening on its first day, setting the stage for a promising run. The weekend saw a significant surge, with Saturday collections jumping to ₹22 crore (a 79.59% increase from Day 1), while Sunday delivered the highest single-day earnings of ₹28 crore.
Weekday Drop But Steady Hold
Like most films, Sky Force witnessed the expected weekday dip, yet maintained decent figures:
Monday: ₹7 crore
Tuesday: ₹5.75 crore
Wednesday: ₹6 crore
Thursday: ₹5.64 crore
Friday (Day 8): ₹0.31 crore (so far)
Despite the drop from its weekend peak, the film’s total India net collection stands at ₹86.95 crore, keeping it on track for the ₹100 crore club.
Current Occupancy and Show Trends
One of the indicators of the film’s sustained interest is its 7.89% occupancy on Day 7. The number of screenings across major cities has adjusted based on demand, with Mumbai and NCR remaining key markets.
Production & Star Cast
“Sky Force” is directed by Sandeep Kewlani and Abhishek Anil Kapur, with backing from Maddock Films and Jio Studios. The ensemble cast includes:
Akshay Kumar
Sara Ali Khan
Nimrat Kaur
Debutant Veer Pahariya
The film’s historical war narrative has added a unique appeal, making it one of the most talked-about releases of early 2025.
Box Office Outlook: Can It Reach ₹100 Crore?
Trade analysts are optimistic that Sky Force will cross the ₹100 crore milestone soon. However, its long-term run will depend on competition from upcoming releases, including Shahid Kapoor’s “Deva” and Vicky Kaushal’s “Chhaava.”
For Akshay Kumar, this film could mark his biggest success since “OMG 2,” reinforcing his box office credibility in the military drama genre. With a strong opening and a solid weekday hold, Sky Force remains a major cinematic success of early 2025.

Bollywood brings history to life in the much-anticipated trailer of Chhaava, starring Vicky Kaushal as Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj. Directed by Laxman Utekar, the historical drama promises a blend of grandeur, emotion, and intense action, set against the backdrop of the Maratha Empire’s fight for survival.
Chhaava Teaser
Set to release on February 14, 2025, Chhaava boasts an ensemble cast featuring Rashmika Mandanna as Maharani Yesubai and Akshaye Khanna as Aurangzeb. Based on Shivaji Sawant’s acclaimed novel, the trailer has already set high expectations for an epic cinematic experience.
The trailer introduces us to the valiant Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, son of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, who takes on the mighty Mughal Empire to protect the Maratha kingdom’s sovereignty. Vicky Kaushal’s portrayal of Sambhaji is powerful and evocative, capturing both the warrior’s grit and the emotional weight of his sacrifices.
Akshaye Khanna’s Aurangzeb adds a compelling layer of menace, as the Mughal emperor seeks to crush the Maratha uprising. Rashmika Mandanna’s portrayal of Yesubai hints at a strong and supportive queen, bringing depth to the emotional dynamics of the story.
Chhaava Official Trailer
Vicky Kaushal’s Transformation: Kaushal embodies the courageous Sambhaji Maharaj with a performance that oozes intensity and determination, leaving viewers in awe.
Akshaye Khanna’s Return: Khanna shines as the calculating Aurangzeb, delivering a nuanced performance that sets him apart as a worthy adversary.
Visual Brilliance: The cinematography captures the scale and grandeur of the Maratha Empire with breathtaking visuals, from battlefields to royal palaces.
Music by A.R. Rahman: The background score enhances the emotional depth and stakes of the narrative, adding to the film’s epic tone.
While the trailer delivers goosebumps, some fans have raised concerns about whether the film can maintain its momentum over its runtime. Comparisons to historical epics like Tanhaji and Padmaavat set a high bar, and the trailer’s CGI and pacing have been criticized by a few netizens as “inconsistent.”
The trailer has struck a chord with audiences, with many calling it “goosebumps-inducing” and praising its emotional and dramatic appeal. One fan wrote, “Vicky Kaushal is phenomenal as Sambhaji Maharaj! This trailer promises an unforgettable experience.” Others highlighted the chemistry between the leads and Khanna’s chilling performance as a major highlight.
Some fans, however, expressed skepticism about the film’s ability to stand out in a crowded genre of historical dramas. “It’s good, but will it have the emotional depth of Tanhaji?” questioned a viewer.With its stunning visuals, powerful performances, and the legendary A.R. Rahman’s music, Chhaava looks poised to be a cinematic spectacle that pays tribute to Maratha history. Whether it lives up to its lofty expectations remains to be seen, but the trailer has already made a strong case for its must-watch status.
Okay, I’ll admit it – I went into “Sky Force” expecting just another war movie filled with explosions and cheesy one-liners. But boy, was I wrong! This film is like a punch to the gut, but in a good way, you know?
“Sky Force” takes you on a wild ride through one of the most intense chapters of India’s military history – the 1965 Indo-Pak War. The movie follows the story of Squadron Leader T.K. ‘Tabby’ Vijaya, played by the dashing newcomer Veer Pahariya, who goes rogue during a crucial mission and ends up MIA in enemy territory.
But the real hero of this story is Wing Commander K.O. ‘Tiger’ Ahuja, brought to life by the one and only Akshay Kumar. This guy never gives up on his comrade, even when everyone else has lost hope. He spends 19 years – yes, you read that right – trying to uncover the truth behind Tabby’s disappearance. Now that’s what I call dedication!
Sky Force Trailer
Directors Sandeep Kewlani and Abhishek Anil Kapur deserve a big round of applause for the way they’ve handled this emotional rollercoaster of a film. They’ve managed to strike a perfect balance between heart-pumping action sequences and tear-jerking moments that’ll have you reaching for the tissues.
The rest of the cast is no slouch either. Sara Ali Khan and Nimrat Kaur bring a touch of grace to their brief but impactful roles, while Sharad Kelkar steals the show in a small but mighty part. It’s like watching an all-star team of actors hitting home runs left and right.
But what really makes “Sky Force” soar (pun totally intended) is its unabashed celebration of the bravery and selflessness of our soldiers. These guys put their lives on the line every day, and this movie is a heartfelt tribute to their sacrifice. It’s the kind of film that makes you want to stand up and salute the screen.
Of course, no movie is perfect, and “Sky Force” does have a few bumps along the way. The script gets a bit sloppy at times, and there are moments when the pacing feels a little off. But honestly, these are just minor turbulences in an otherwise smooth flight.
sky-force-review
The real magic of “Sky Force” lies in its ability to make you feel. Whether it’s the adrenaline rush of the action scenes or the gut-wrenching emotions of the climax, this movie grabs you by the heart and doesn’t let go. It’s the kind of film that stays with you long after the credits roll.
So, if you’re in the mood for a movie that’s equal parts thrilling and moving, “Sky Force” is the way to go. Just make sure you have a box of tissues handy – trust me, you’re gonna need ’em. And maybe, just maybe, you’ll walk out of the theater with a newfound appreciation for the unsung heroes who keep our skies safe.
In the end, “Sky Force” is more than just a movie – it’s a soaring tribute to the courage and resilience of the human spirit. It’s a reminder that even in the darkest of times, hope and love can light the way home. And that, my friends, is what makes this film truly unforgettable.

Netflix delivers a blast from the past with Back in Action, reuniting Cameron Diaz and Jamie Foxx in a high-octane action-comedy that blends espionage with suburban antics. Premiered on January 17, 2025, the film marks Diaz’s return to acting after nearly a decade, bringing fans back to her charismatic, action-packed heyday.
Watch the Trailer of Back in Action
With Seth Gordon (Horrible Bosses) directing, the film crafts a quirky blend of family drama, action, and humor, proving that sometimes, chaos can be exactly what we need.
Diaz and Foxx play Emily and Matt, CIA agents forced to fake their deaths to escape their perilous lives. Fast forward 15 years, and they’re going through the challenges of parenthood, raising their tech-savvy kids, Alice and Leo, in a sleepy suburb.
But their peaceful cover is blown when their daughter sneaks off to a club, sparking a chain of events that draws them back into the dangerous world they left behind. From high-stakes combat to international chases, Emily and Matt must balance parenting with outsmarting old enemies.
Chemistry That Steals the Show
The heart of the film lies in the electric chemistry between Diaz and Foxx. Their playful banter and synchronized action sequences are a nostalgic treat for fans. Diaz channels her Charlie’s Angels energy, delivering both laughs and hard-hitting punches, while Foxx’s charm and grounded performance perfectly complement her fiery spirit.
Glenn Close adds comedic flair as Emily’s estranged mother, a retired spy who reluctantly steps in to help. Her sharp wit and unexpected romantic subplot provide delightful moments that lighten the narrative’s darker tones.
Strengths: Action, Humor, and Nostalgia
Well-Choreographed Action: The film’s fight sequences stand out, blending humor with adrenaline-pumping stunts.
Engaging Pace: The narrative moves swiftly, keeping viewers entertained without dragging.
Star Power: Diaz and Foxx anchor the movie with their magnetic performances, making even predictable scenes enjoyable.
Flaws: A Predictable Plot with Missed Opportunities
Despite its strengths, Back in Action doesn’t stray far from genre conventions. The antagonist lacks depth, and secondary characters, like Andrew Scott’s underutilized villain, leave much to be desired. A stronger soundtrack could have amplified key moments, adding emotional resonance.
The film sprinkles nods to action-comedy classics, including a throwback to True Lies in its explosive finale and subtle references to Mr. & Mrs. Smith. Fans of Diaz’s earlier work will appreciate her nostalgic callbacks, from signature moves to her iconic smirk.
What Fans Are Saying
Viewers are divided. Longtime Diaz fans celebrated her return, with one commenting, “Cameron hasn’t missed a beat — she’s still the queen of action-comedy!” Others noted the film’s formulaic nature, calling it “a fun but forgettable ride.”
Still, for many, the movie’s charm lies in its simplicity. One fan summed it up: “Sometimes, all you need is Diaz and Foxx kicking butt together.”
Back in Action may not redefine the action-comedy genre, but it delivers exactly what it promises: laughs, nostalgia, and just enough heart. It’s the perfect pick for a relaxing movie night — ideal for fans of fast-paced fun with a nostalgic twist.
