Sky Force Day 1 Box Office: Akshay Kumar’s Film Outshines Sarfira & Mission Raniganj, Earns ₹11.25 Cr

Sky Force, featuring Akshay Kumar and Veer Pahariya, has made a strong start at the box office, opening with a collection of Rs 11.25 crore, as reported by Sacnilk. This marks Akshay’s best opening since his previous film, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan (BMCM), which debuted at Rs 15.65 crore in 2024 but ultimately performed poorly at the box office. Following BMCM, Akshay’s subsequent releases, Sarfira and Khel Khel Mein, garnered only Rs 2.5 crore and Rs 5.05 crore on their opening days, respectively. Notably, Khel Khel Mein featured a star-studded ensemble cast, including Taapsee Pannu, Vaani Kapoor, and Ammy Virk.
Sky Force opened to mixed reviews and recorded an overall occupancy rate of 20.93 percent. In the Delhi-NCR region, it had 1,190 shows with a 21 percent occupancy, while in Mumbai, the film had 852 shows and achieved an occupancy of 26.75 percent. Currently, Sky Force is screening over 4,000 shows daily. In the wake of Sky Force’s release, the number of shows for Kangana Ranaut’s film Emergency has significantly decreased, now down to just 700 shows. Over its first week, Emergency has earned a little over Rs 14 crore, managing only Rs 35 lakh on its eighth day. While Sky Force has opened better than many of Akshay Kumar’s recent films, it remains uncertain if it can break his streak of underwhelming performances.
Since his successful lead role in Sooryavanshi in 2021, which earned over Rs 195 crore despite pandemic restrictions, Akshay has yet to deliver another hit. His production OMG 2, where he played a supporting role, performed admirably, grossing over Rs 220 crore. The film is directed by Abhishek Anil Kapur and Sandeep Kewlani, while Sky Force is based on true events, focusing on India’s retaliatory attack on Pakistan’s Sargodha airbase during the Indo-Pak war of 1965. The film also stars Nimrat Kaur and Sara Ali Khan. Stay tuned for more only with us and if you have anything to share, do comment below!
