Sky Force Twitter reviews

Comparing Akshay Kumar's Sky Force to Hrithik Roshan's Fighter, one X user tweeted, "A no-nonsense patriotic movie, far better than Fighter. A must-watch for all Akshay Kumar fans." Another tweet read, "Fighter was a cheap copy of Top Gun: Maverick. We Indians can proudly say #SkyForce is our filmmaking."

A user even called for a National Award for Akshay Kumar's performance in Sky Force and wrote, "Just finished watching #SkyForce. A must-watch for every cinephile. Packed with action and emotion, it’s a rollercoaster ride from start to finish. @akshaykumar truly deserves another National Award. The direction, cinematography, VFX, and storyline are all top-notch."

Praising Sara Ali Khan, one X user wrote, "Akshay Kumar drives #SkyForce with his commanding presence, but #SaraAliKhan makes her presence felt... she is the softer aspect of the film."

Another X user commented, "Those aerial action sequences were definitely paisa vasool. This is what happens when the entire budget is spent on content and not just on a superstar!"

However, some moviegoers criticised the film. One tweet read, "Sky Force has taken off... straight into the depths of disappointment! Akshay, even your fans are wondering if this movie was a 'forced' landing."

One particular review stated, "#SkyForce had potential but fails miserably with a weak plot, flat characters, and uninspiring performances. The action sequences are chaotic, and the CGI is underwhelming. Even the emotional moments feel forced and unearned."
