Sky Force is one of this year’s biggest hits, and after making its mark at the box office, the film started streaming on Prime Video on March 21, 2025. Directed by Abhishek Anil Kapur and Sandeep Kewlani, Sky Force is once again making a lot of noise on social media now that it is available on the streaming platform. For the uninitiated, Sky Force is based on India’s first airstrike in the Indo-Pak 1965 war. The film features ace actors like Akshay Kumar, Veer Pahariya, Mohit Chauhan, Sara Ali Khan, and Varun Badola, who played leading roles.
Sky Force has fictionalised real-life war heroes by giving them different names. For instance, Akshay Kumar plays Wing Commander Kumar Om Ahuja (fictionalisation of O. P. Taneja), whereas Veer Pahariya plays Squadron Leader T. Krishna “Tabby” Vijaya (fictionalisation of Ajjamada B. Devayya). Although the film is about the airstrike that took place during the 1965 war, but it’s fair to say that the spotlight is on Ajjamada B. Devayya, whose character in the film is played beautifully by Veer Pahariya.
