Akshay Kumar and newcomer Veer Pahariya‘s action film ‘Sky Force‘ was off to a flying start at the Indian box office on its debut weekend. However, the film saw its box office collections dip on its first Monday at the Indian box office.
According to early estimates on Sacnilk.com, the movie earned an estimated Rs 6.25 crore on day 4. This came a big decline from the impressive weekend collection that saw it open with Rs 12.25 crore on Friday and nearly double its earnings on Saturday, raking in approximately Rs 22 crore. The Republic Day boost on Sunday propelled the film to Rs 27.50 crore, sealing its successful debut weekend.
With Monday’s figures added, the film’s total domestic collection now stands at an estimated Rs 68.50 crore.
As per the producers, the film garnered a gross collection of Rs 86.40 crore across India during its opening weekend. The worldwide collection for the first three days reportedly reached Rs 92.90 crore, showcasing its popularity beyond Indian markets.
Despite the Monday dip, industry analysts believe Sky Force still has the potential for a steady run at the box office and may just have enough fuel to push it past the Rs 100 crore mark.
Co-directed by Sandeep Kelwani and Abhishek Kapur, Sky Force marks Veer Pahariya’s acting debut. The film follows the story of IAF officer T. Vijaya (Pahariya), who goes missing during the 1965 India-Pakistan War. Akshay Kumar plays KO Ahuja, Vijaya’s fellow IAF officer, who undertakes a daring mission to bring him back.
The cast also includes Sara Ali Khan and Nimrat Kaur in significant roles, adding depth to the narrative of courage and camaraderie.
