Sky Force

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!!

Sky Force lands as a respectable Republic Day entertainer, with its ambitious attempt to blend patriotism, history, and drama. Directed by debutants Sandeep Kewlani and Abhishek Anil Kapur, the film draws inspiration from significant events in military history, fictionalizing them to deliver an impactful cinematic experience. The narrative revolves around the Indian Air Force, spotlighting themes of courage, sacrifice, and patriotism. The research into military aircraft dynamics is evident and enhances the film's credibility.

For their debut outing, Sandeep Kewlani and Abhishek Anil Kapur deserve praise for choosing an unexplored chapter of military history and presenting it with sincerity. The story has its heart in the right place. While the movie soars high in its second half, a somewhat uneven first half and occasional emotional disconnect hold it back from reaching its full potential. The second half compensates with a gripping investigation into Tabby's disappearance and its compelling buildup. The finale serves as a heartfelt tribute to real-life officers, ending the film on a powerful, patriotic note.

Akshay Kumar delivers a commendable performance, shining in both emotional moments and action sequences. He anchors the film with his experience and intensity. Veer Pahariya, making his debut, emerges as the surprise package of the movie. He delivered impressive performance. On the downside, Sara Ali Khan is underutilized. Her character lacks depth, and her chemistry with Pahariya doesn't quite spark. Nimrat Kaur provides a good supporting performance. With limited screentime, Manish Choudhary & Sharad Kelkar delivers a standout performance.

The cinematography is a visual treat, capturing air combat sequences with precision and grandeur. The aerial choreography is well-executed. The background score is effective in heightening tension, though Tanishk Bagchi's music is a mixed bag. While the song "Maaye resonates emotionally, the rest of the soundtrack fails to leave a lasting impression.

For those looking for a Republic Day watch with a blend of war history, action, and heartfelt moments, Sky Force is a decent pick that ends on a high, uplifting note. The film pays a moving homage to the bravery and sacrifices of Indian Air Force officers.

Sky Force - A Film That Surprised Me

I'm the kind of person who watches every trailer and forms an idea about how the film might perform, both commercially and critically. Most of the time, my predictions are spot on. However, Sky Force is one of the rare films that proved me wrong, especially from a critical perspective.

While I may still be correct about its commercial success, my critical view turned out to be completely different. The film is superb. The screenplay is highly engaging and keeps you hooked throughout.

After watching the trailer, I thought it would be a cheap knockoff of Fighter (a film I found very ordinary). I assumed it would be another mediocre addition to Akshay Kumar's filmography. But to my surprise, Sky Force turned out to be one of his finest films. It's not just another India-Pakistan war movie; it brings a unique perspective and is executed with finesse.

What didn't work: The songs in the first half felt unnecessary and broke the flow of the narrative. Additionally, the overuse of slow-motion sequences, especially in the first half, felt repetitive and diluted their impact. Slow motion should be used sparingly to create a stronger emotional or dramatic effect.

Verdict: Sky Force is a must-watch and stands tall as a remarkable film in its genre. Don't let the trailer mislead you-it's an experience worth having.

Go for it you you will enjoy. I enjoyed watching i.

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.
