Sat Jan 25 21:27:20 IST 2025: ## Akshay Kumar’s “Sky Force” Takes Off with Strong Opening Day Collection
**Mumbai, India** – Akshay Kumar’s latest film, “Sky Force,” has launched to a promising start, collecting a net of ₹15.30 crore on its opening day. This marks a significant improvement over his previous releases, “Selfiee” and “Bachchan Pandey,” which debuted with ₹2.50 crore and ₹5.05 crore respectively. While audience reactions have been mixed, the strong opening day collection suggests a potential turnaround for the actor, whose recent films have underperformed at the box office.
The film, co-starring Vir Pahariya, saw an occupancy rate of 20.93% on its opening day (January 24th), with higher occupancy rates reported in major cities like Mumbai (26.75% occupancy across 852 shows) and Delhi (21% occupancy across 1190 shows). “Sky Force” is currently playing across approximately 4000 screens nationwide. Higher audience turnout was observed during night shows.
Akshay Kumar’s last major box office success was “Sooryavanshi” in 2021, which grossed ₹196 crore. His subsequent films failed to replicate that success. The strong opening of “Sky Force” has ignited hopes that it could break the string of underperforming films and revive the actor’s box office fortunes. The film’s ultimate success, however, remains to be seen.
