Akshay Kumar, who has been facing continuous failures in recent years, has come up with an Air Force Drama, Sky Force. The film also stars debutant Veer Pahariya in another lead role. Let’s see how the film has been shaped.
Story:
The film, set in the context of the Indian Air Force, follows a young and energetic Squadron Leader TK Vijaya, also known as Tabby (Veer Pahariya), who defies orders and makes impulsive choices to show his bravery. To protect his team and its leader, Wing Commander KO Ahuja (Akshay Kumar, whom he considers as a father figure, Tabby rushes to take part in a dangerous mission and never returns. What actions did Ahuja draw to learn about Vijaya, referred to as Tabby, unfold the rest of the film.
Performances:
Akshay Kumar did his best in the character of KO Ahuja and there is nothing to complain or praise either. Veer Pahariya shows nice confidence in his debut and delivers a convincing performance. Sara Ali Khan, Nimrat Kaur and others were okay.
Analysis:
The concept of Sky Force is fine, but t lacks any new elements. One can not deny the contribution of countless soldiers who disregarded thoughts of their families and entertained the idea of going above and beyond their duties to take part in a war, but, to explore the journey of a long-missing soldier in a film needs a solid taking, which Sky Force shows only in some parts. The initial part of the film feels relatively dull, as the relation between both the leads does not get the right impact which it should have, while the latter half proves to be more impactful because of a few pleasant moments and an emotional climax.
Positives:
- Few Important Scenes in the Second Half
- Effective Dialogues here and there
- Climax
Negatives:
- Dull Narration
- Weak Execution of Air Strike Scenes
- No Emotional Connect
Sky Force Movie Review and Verdict:
Sky Force is an honest attempt, but the output is not enough. The sincere idea behind the film, a few well worked parts and poignant climax act as the plus points for the movie, but the lack of emotions and flat feel work against it.
