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!!

Good movie to enjoy. Take to the side of Airforce life!!! Based on true stories and in the last it shows the actual photographes of all real heroes characters . And... All over a balance in cinema.

Good subject with good motive.

Go for it you you will enjoy.

It does lack a bit in a few things but that's okay.

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

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.

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.

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.
