“Sky Force” is a thrilling ride for the emotional soul through the grit of Indian Air Force men, with Akshay Kumar aptly anchoring an earnest officer. Directed by Abhishek Kapur and Sandeep Kewlani, it weaves an excellent tale with fabulous aerial combats intermixed with a very touching story which runs deep from historical events from the 1965 Indo-Pakistani War. The stellar visual effects set a new benchmark for Indian cinema, and the nuanced storytelling delivers emotional depth along with patriotism. With exceptional direction, a gripping story, and a career-defying performance by Akshay Kumar, “Sky Force” stands out as a cinematic triumph and deserves 4.5 stars out of 5.
