Netizens React
Soon after the trailer was released, netizens shared their views. Some viewers have loved Akshay's patriotic saga, but others were quick to compare it with Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone's movie Fighter. The aerial drama was released in January 2024.
A user wrote,'' I'll say only one thing, this film should be a blockbuster #AkshayKumar𓃵 is looking so great after so many years, the songs in the trailer are great wid nationalism and emotion and the dialogues r good, I got goosebumps #SkyForce.''
Tbh, action scenes don't look as jarring as one expects them to be considering it's made on a lesser budget than Sid Anand's Fighter. The diff in budget is clearly evident. #SkyForce pic.twitter.com/g2TunByu99
