Sky Force box office collection day 1: Akshay Kumar scores biggest Hindi film opening of 2025, earns Rs 11 crore

Akshay Kumar and Veer Pahariya-starrer action-drama Sky Force finally released on January 24. The movie started on a low note, but the extremely positive word-of-mouth and reviews have helped big time. Yes, as expected Sky Force has registered the biggest opening for a Hindi film in 2025. 

The early estimate of Sky Force was revealed by the trade tracking portal, Sacnilk, and the report is a piece of good news. As the portal reported, on January 24, Sky Force has collected Rs 10.81 crores till 9 pm. The movie is expected to end the day between Rs 11-12 crore. 

When the occupancy is concerned, the film opened low, with only 10.26% in morning shows. However, the positive reviews helped the movie to grow over the day. In the afternoon, the occupancy rose to 14.12%, followed by 22.76% in the evening shows. This start has sent positive waves across the industry as the film is expected to perform better on the following weekend, especially on Republic Day (January 26). 

Though it's early to predict, the film is expected to earn around Rs 30 crore in its first weekend. The response to Sky Force is nothing less than a relief as Bollywood was again facing a slump, and till now all three films of the year- Fateh, Emergency, and Azaad were rejected by the audience.
