Directed by Sandeep Kewlani and Abhishek Anil Kapur, the Bollywood action drama, based on India’s first airstrike during the Indo-Pakistani air war of 1965, opened to mostly favorable reviews from critics. Even among the ticket-buying audience, it is faring with favorable word-of-mouth. This positivity definitely boosted the film’s opening, which was looking to settle in average to decent range earlier.
Sky Force started with 10% occupancy in morning shows and jumped to 14% in the afternoon shows. In evening shows, a jump up to 23% was seen, but the real changer was the night occupancy, which was around 37% on average.
