Akshay Kumar's Sky Force is now on Prime Video for ₹349. Set during the 1965 Indo-Pak war, the film faced bans in Gulf states and underperformed at the box office. Full OTT release on March 21, 2025.


Six weeks after its theatrical release, Sky Force has finally made it to OTT. During its release, the makers didn't reveal where the film will stream after its theatrical. However, the film starring Akshay Kumar and debutant Veer Pahariya has made it to Prime Video but on rent. The film can be watched at ₹349 on the streaming platform.

Sky Force plot and setting
For the uninitiated, Sky Force is an action drama film set that revolves around the 1965 Indo-Pakistani air war and India's initial airstrike on the Pakistani Sargodha airbase. The film also features Sara Ali Khan and Nimrat Kaur in supporting roles. Jio Studios and Maddock Films produce the film, while Abhishek Anil Kapur and Sandeep Kewlani direct it.

A deadly surprise attack hits India during the 1965 Indo-Pak War. Squadron Leader Vijaya valiantly engages a superior enemy jet on his own, but Wing Commander Ahuja orders a counterattack, and Vijaya disappears without a trace. After spending 23 years investigating, Ahuja finds evidence of a cover-up and gets posthumous credit for Vijaya's courage and sacrifice.


Akshay Kumar plays a fictitious version of Om Prakash Taneja VrC, as Wing Commander Kumar Om Ahuja. Veer Pahariya plays the role of T. Krishna Vijaya "Tabby," a character based on Ajjamada Boppayya Devayya MVC.


Controversies and bans



Several Arab Gulf states, such as Oman, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar, have banned the film. There are certain Kodavas who feel the movie erroneously portrays Ajjamada B. Devaiah as a Tamil.

The theatrical release of Sky Force took place on January 24, 2025, which happened to be the weekend of Republic Day. It did poorly at the box office despite receiving mostly positive reviews from critics.



Box office collections

According to Pinkvilla, the film's collections took a nosedive on Monday following a solid opening weekend caused by significantly reduced ticket prices. The film's worldwide gross was expected to be between ₹144 and ₹168.60 crore when it ended its run.

Sky Force will have its full-fledged OTT release on Prime Video beginning March 21, 2025.
