Sky Force box office Day 4: Slow Monday for Akshay Kumar’s film, nears Rs 70 crore
Actor Akshay Kumar and Veer Pahariya’s film, Sky Force, witnessed a rather slow Monday after performing well in its opening weekend. The emotional war drama, set in the 1965 India-Pakistan war, collected Rs 6.25 crore nett on its first Monday, taking the total of four days to Rs 68.50 crore nett, reported the trade website Sacnilk.
Sky Force, directed by Abhishek Anil Kapur and Sandeep Kewlani, opened at Rs 12.25 crore nett on Friday. However, decent word-of-mouth on social media led the collections to rise on Saturday and Sunday, and the film wrapped its opening weekend at Rs 62.25 crore nett.

Sky Force is Veer’s big Bollywood debut. The actor features as Squadron Leader Ajjamada B Devaiah, who is the only Indian Air Force officer to be posthumously given a Maha Vir Chakra, the second-highest military award in India.
The film also features Sara Ali Khan and Nimrat Kaur in important roles. While it tries to keep the story more about the valour and contribution of Devaiah to the Indian Air Force and to the world of aviation, it also shows India’s winning stand against Pakistan during the war.
Sky Force hit the screens unchallenged at the box office. However, the film has got only a few days of free run until Shahid Kapoor’s Deva hits the screens on January 31.
