Akshay Kumar’s latest film Sky Force which marks the debut of Veer Pahariya has opened to good response from the audiences as well as the film critics.

The film’s advance booking opened on a good note and the major reason behind that was the hugely discounted ticket prices offered by the makers where each ticket for January 24 to 26 is costing an audience only Rs 25-30.

As a result of the same, the film has taken a decent opening in the morning shows and has recorded an occupancy of 10.26 percent, as per Sacnilk.

According to Box Office India, even though the opening is helped a lot by discounted ticket prices, the occupancy rate in the morning shows should’ve been a lot higher than it is and the actual opening should’ve been strong instead of just “decent”.

Sky Force is expected to end its day one at around Rs 10 crore which will be among the biggest for Akshay Kumar in recent years.

Khel Khel Mein (2024) - Rs 5.23 crore
