After a successful theatrical run, Sky Force, starring Akshay Kumar and newcomer Veer Pahariya, is now available for streaming on Prime Video India. However, viewers must pay ₹349 to rent the film, as it is not yet part of the platform's standard subscription.
Set between 1965 and 1988, the film explores a gripping chapter of India's military history. Akshay Kumar plays Squadron Leader K.O. Ahuja, inspired by VrC awardee Om Prakash Taneja, while Veer Pahariya portrays Wingman TK Vijaya, based on MVC awardee Ajjamada Boppayya Devayya.
The story follows Ahuja as he discovers intelligence about an impending Pakistani attack. However, due to India's commitment to peace, a preemptive strike is denied. When Pakistan launches an air raid on an Indian base, Ahuja leads a daring counterattack on Pakistan’s Sargodha base, a crucial military hub equipped with advanced jets. As the mission unfolds, Vijaya defies orders and goes missing, prompting Ahuja to embark on a risky operation to find him. The film highlights themes of bravery, sacrifice, and the unwavering spirit of the Indian Air Force.
Sky Force has received positive reviews, and its rating is 3.5-star. The review praises Akshay Kumar’s performance for its depth and leadership qualities, while also commending Veer Pahariya’s impressive debut and the strong supporting cast, including Sharad Kelkar, Sara Ali Khan, and Nimrat Kaur.
