While Akshay Kumar and debutant Veer Pahariya play Air Force officers in Sky Force, directed by Abhishek Anil Kapur and Sandeep Kewlani,Fighter featured Hrithik and Deepika in the roles of Air Force officers.
In her review of Sky Force, WION's Pragati Awasthi wrote, "Sky Force wins for its story. While I must have to mention that the audience will definitely roll their eyes in the first half when Akshay and Veer are shown in a truly heroic light, the movie will take an even more interesting turn by the end, and you'll find yourself genuinely curious to know what happened to Tabby. Infused with passion, patriotism, valour and emotional drama, Sky Force is a regular Indian military movie."
