Maddock Films’ reputation helps explain the strong beginning of Sky Force as it showcases Akshay Kumar alongside Veer Pahariya in its new action drama. Through its strategic move the filmmakers provided major chain cinemas such as PVR INOX and Cinepolis very reduced ticket prices. During this tactic, ticket sales advanced sharply followed by an increase in evening and night shows.

Sky Force’s strategic pricing combined with positive viewer feedback led to increased movie ticket sales. Ticket sales continued to increase throughout the day as viewership numbers continued to rise.
Akshay Kumar’s latest film release signs as his biggest opening since his recovery from losing double-digit early earnings with recent ventures. Sky Force is one of Akshay Kumar’s top 10 highest openers surpassing films like Ram Setu Rs 15.25 crore and Bachchhan Pandey Rs 13.25 crore.

We have not included films like Stree 2 in the list because it has a cameo of Akshay Kumar and not a lead role. This marks a strong comeback for the actor, proving his continued dominance in action dramas. The movie stands strong for lasting profitability according to industry experts. The film’s current pace suggests it might earn a spot among Akshay Kumar’s top-grossing films.
