Sky Force Review by Taran Adarsh: Based on the 1965 Indo-Pak War, “Sky Force” tells the story of India’s daring airstrike on Pakistan’s Sargodha airbase. Directed by debutants Sandeep Kewlani and Abhishek Kapur, the film delivers a seamless blend of drama, emotions, and aerial action, leaving audiences with several goosebumps-inducing moments.
Stellar Performances
Akshay Kumar is in top form, delivering one of his finest performances to date. Veer Pahariya impresses with a confident portrayal of his character, while Sara Ali Khan makes an impact despite limited screen time. Nimrat Kaur’s role, though brief, adds to the film’s emotional weight.
A Well-Crafted Narrative
The film is largely engrossing, thanks to a gripping narrative that keeps the audience invested. The emotional finale, enhanced by the inclusion of Lata Mangeshkar’s timeless classic “Ae Mere Watan Ke Logo,” is particularly outstanding. While the second half dips slightly in pace, the overall storytelling remains compelling.
