Featured reviews
Acting was too bland. Too much melodrama for an action movie. I do understand that it's a patriotic movie but they didn't need to underline it every two minutes with a patriotic dialogue. The commentary in the background made it sound like a documentary and that too not a very good one. I generally feel that Indian filmmakers add too much drama when making a patriotic movie. I personally am more of a fan of movies like Baby or Lakshya where the emphasis is more on the action part of patriotism rather than the speaking part. CGI was good at places though. I also liked the part where they showed real people pictures on whom the movie is based.
I don't know why I didn't watch Sky Force sooner, and I genuinely regret it. This movie is surprisingly good, a truly well made film that deserved far more attention than it received. I can't help but blame the marketing team for not doing enough to create the buzz this film so clearly merited.
Sky Force comes remarkably close to perfection, there are just one or two minor elements that, if executed differently, could have easily elevated it to a perfect 10. Nevertheless, I loved this film a lot, perhaps partly because I have a strong affinity for war based movies, a genre we sadly don't see enough of in Hindi films, especially those focusing on military operations.
What truly impressed me, and what sets Sky Force apart, is its ambitious long timeline. The filmmakers did a commendable job in showcasing this extended period without confusing the audience which is a difficult feat to pull off. Akshay Kumar delivers a great performance, embodying his character with conviction. The portrayal of the then era is fantastic, meticulously recreating the atmosphere and details, especially the iconic planes that are central to the story. The aerial sorties and dogfights are particularly thrilling and well choreographed, a genuine treat to watch. By the end, the emotional impact of the film truly hit me.
Sky Force is a highly recommended watch, especially for those who appreciate war dramas and well crafted cinematic experiences. Don't make the same mistake I did by waiting, give this one a watch.

Sky Force, as a movie, is well-made. However, it is devoid of new ideas and thoughts. Akshay Kumar did a couple of movies like Sky Force before. It is a super patriotic and nationalist movie by making the lead actors saviours following nationalist rhetoric, which sometimes seems too much. Almost like chewing gum.
There was a story, but a very common one that everyone can assume even before watching this film. Akshay Kumar and Veer Pahariya's chemistry was enjoyable. Sara Ali Khan has nothing to do in a pregnant woman's role. Same goes for Nimrat. Though I did not expect anything from the female characters, as Sky Force is a Bollywood male-hero military film. If it were a female-led film, it would promote that. The art direction, set design, costume, colour grading, and cinematography were good. Recommended only if you want to watch a rhetorical nationalist movie.

Sky Force is based on an incident that happened during India's first airstrike on Pakistan in 1965 that a very few people know, atleast I didn't.
Without a doubt, everyone should watch this film. Also, it's a sincere, to the point, no nonsense film. The story is about Veer Pahariya's character while Akshay Kumar is the group captain who investigates what happened with him.
The actors are all good, Akshay as the lead is superb, Sharad Kelkar also has an important part, Veer is decent, Nimrat is crisp, Sara is a little off.
The scenes of the airstrike and the drills have been shot really well. The songs are decent, nothing dramatic.
The only part that doesn't work for me are the emotional scenes. I didn't feel much connected, especially with Sara in them.
Overall, this is a real story that is worth knowing about. In a chaos of mass entertainers that solely depend on stars and spice, this film stands on its story and is a must watch!!
