Bollywood’s patriotic action-drama Sky Force, starring Akshay Kumar and debutant Veer Pahariya, has made its digital debut on Amazon Prime Video. Directed by Abhishek Anil Kapur and Sandeep Kewlani, the film revisits India’s historic first airstrike on Pakistan’s Sargodha airbase during the 1965 Indo-Pakistani War. However, there’s a twist for viewers eager to watch it online.
Streaming Details
While Sky Force is now available on Amazon Prime Video, it is currently offered as a rental-only option for ₹349. The film is not yet included in the standard subscription plan, and it is available exclusively in Hindi.
Box Office Journey
Released in theaters on January 24, 2025, around the Republic Day weekend, Sky Force aimed to capitalize on patriotic fervor. Despite high expectations, the film underperformed at the box office, grossing ₹134.93 crore domestically and ₹15 crore internationally, falling short of its ₹160 crore production budget.
Plot and Performances
Set against the backdrop of Indian military history between 1965 and 1988, the film follows Squadron Leader K.O. Ahuja (played by Akshay Kumar) as he leads a daring counterattack on Pakistan’s Sargodha base. Veer Pahariya, in his debut role, portrays Wingman TK Vijaya, whose character adds emotional depth to the high-stakes mission. The film also features Sara Ali Khan and Nimrat Kaur in pivotal roles.
Critical Reception
While critics praised the film’s action sequences and performances, audience turnout in theaters remained lackluster. The digital release offers a second chance for viewers to experience this gripping wartime saga from the comfort of their homes.
For fans of Akshay Kumar and patriotic dramas, Sky Force promises an engaging watch. Head over to Amazon Prime Video to rent the film and witness a tribute to the valor of the Indian Air Force.
