Sky Force Day 1 Box Office Collection: Akshay Kumar’s Big Return With A Double-Digit Start

The release of Sky Force, Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar‘s most successful film in years, has been a much-needed respite. The movie made a healthy double-digit opening total.

Sacnilk claims that on its first day of business, Sky Force made Rs 11.25 crore (net). With a comparatively low budget of Rs 160 crore, the film was produced.

The Rohit Shetty-directed film Sooryavanshi (2021) was Akshay Kumar’s final major hit. Despite having a Rs 160 crore budget, it brought in Rs 293 crore worldwide.

Khel Khel Mein, Sarfira, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, Mission Raniganj, Selfiee, Ram Setu, Raksha Bandhan, Samrat Prithviraj, and Bachchhan Paandey were among his most recent films that did not do well at the box office.

Singham Again, Akshay’s most recent big release, made Rs 372.4 crore worldwide, but it had an ensemble cast and was directed by Ajay Devgn, with a cameo from Akshay. He also appeared as a guest in Stree 2, which did well and brought in Rs 857.15 crore globally.

Sky Force has been compared to Fighter, starring Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone, ever since the trailer was released. Last year, around Republic Day, Fighter was also released, earning Rs 22.5 crore on its first day of release. With a production budget of Rs 250 crore, Fighter became a global triumph, earning Rs 358.83 crore.

Sky Force, which depicts the events of the 1965 India-Pakistan War, is based on the little-known tale of India’s first and most deadly airstrike.

IAF officer T Vijaya, who goes missing in action during the conflict, is played by Veer Pahariya in his acting debut. Akshay Kumar plays his fellow officer, KO Ahuja, who sets out to find him.

Sara Ali Khan and Nimrat Kaur have significant roles in the movie as well. Abhishek Kapur and Sandeep Kelwani are the directors of Sky Force.

Comparing with Other Movies

In 2022, Akshay had four releases: “Bachchan Pandey” (13.25 crores), “Samrat Prithviraj” (10.70 crores), “Raksha Bandhan” (8.20 crores), and “Ram Setu” (15.25 crores). “Ram Setu” had the highest opening among them. In 2023, he had three movies: “Selfie” (2.55 crores), “OMG 2” (10.26 crores), and “Mission Raniganj” (2.80 crores).

And in 2024, “Bade Miyan Chote Miyan” topped the list with an opening of 16.07 crores. Now, “Sky Force” stands close to it with 15.30 crores. Considering its budget and the fact that it wasn’t as hyped, this is quite an achievement.
