Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar seems to have struck gold with his latest release, ‘Sky Force’, which has achieved a stellar box office collection of ₹70 crores in its opening weekend. The film, released around Republic Day, leveraged a special ticket pricing offer to draw crowds on Day 1, and the strategy has clearly paid off.
Strong Start After Three Years
The success of ‘Sky Force’ comes as a breath of fresh air for Akshay Kumar, whose last few films underperformed at the box office. With an action-packed narrative and patriotic undertones, the movie resonated well with audiences across all age groups, particularly during the Republic Day celebrations.
The Republic Day Boost
To attract more footfall, the makers introduced discounted tickets as part of a Republic Day offer, which resulted in houseful shows across multiplexes and single screens alike. This strategy helped the film clock impressive figures right from its release.
Audience Reaction and Future Prospects
The film has garnered positive reviews from both critics and fans, with many praising its engaging storyline and action sequences. Trade analysts predict that ‘Sky Force’ is poised to maintain its momentum over the next few weeks.
Akshay’s First Hit in Three Years?
For Akshay Kumar, the stakes are high, as his last commercial hit dates back to over three years ago. With ‘Sky Force’, he might finally break the streak of underwhelming performances, signaling a much-needed comeback in the industry.
