**Mumbai, India** – Akshay Kumar’s latest film, *Sky Force*, has defied mixed reviews to achieve a stellar box office opening. The Republic Day release crossed ₹60 crore (approximately $7.3 million USD) in just three days, demonstrating strong audience appeal despite critical reservations.

According to Sacnilk, a box office tracking website, the film raked in ₹12.25 crore on Friday, followed by ₹22 crore on Saturday, and a substantial ₹27.50 crore on Sunday. Sunday’s showing saw a particularly strong performance, with afternoon show occupancy at 47.22%, rising to 56.52% for evening screenings.

Trade analyst Taran Adarsh lauded the film’s performance, highlighting a remarkable 71.90% growth in collections from Day 1 to Day 2. He predicts the weekend total will surpass ₹70 crore, marking a “superb start” to the film’s box office journey. While the opening weekend is promising, Adarsh notes that the film’s weekday performance will be crucial in determining its overall success.

*Sky Force*, starring Akshay Kumar and Veer Pahariya as Indian Air Force officers, depicts India’s retaliatory airstrike on Pakistan’s Sargodha airbase during the 1965 Indo-Pakistan War. The film’s strong opening weekend represents a significant rebound for Akshay Kumar following a string of less successful films, marking his return to double-digit opening figures.
