‘Sky Force’ is coming, why aerial action films don’t work? There is no visual reason

Akshay Kumar’s film ‘Sky Force’, which was released on Republic Day, is now going to release on January 24. Seeing the trailer of the film, many people remembered Hrithik Roshan’s film ‘Fighter’ released a year ago. It is another matter that ‘Fighter’ was based on the air strike conducted by the Indian Air Force in Pakistan in the year 2019. Whereas ‘Sky Force’ is said to be based on the first air strike conducted by the Indian Air Force in the year 1965. The surprising thing is that despite the difference of more than 50 years between the two air strikes, the visuals of the air strikes of both the films look quite similar on the screen. However, the box office performance of ‘Sky Force’ The decision will be taken after the release, but if we talk about ‘Fighter’, the audience did not like it much. Disappointed by this, the film’s director Siddharth Anand became so upset with the audience’s reaction that he/she blamed the common people for his/her film’s failure. he/she said that more than 90 percent of the common citizens of India have never stepped into an airplane, so they could not understand his/her aerial action film.

Did not even like Telugu cinema’s film ‘Mission Valentine’

The Telugu cinema film ‘Mission Valentine’, released some time after this film, was also based on the air strike of 2019. But sadly, the audience did not like that film either. Apart from these two films, Kangana Ranaut’s Air Force based film Tejas also failed at the box office. Whereas Ajay Devgan’s Bhuj was released on OTT. In such a situation, the big question is whether the audience will be able to understand Akshay’s film.

Patriotic films have been performing well

Although patriotic films have always performed well in Bollywood. These include films like ‘Border’, ‘LOC’ and ‘Uri The Surgical Strike’. But one thing worth noting here is that among the popular war movies released on the cinema screen, there are more films based on the Army. These include Lakshya to ‘Tango Charlie’ and ‘Hindustan Ki Kasam’. If we talk about popular films based on Air Force or Navy, then ‘Gunjan Saxena’ and ‘Ghazi Attack’ were liked. However, ‘Gunjan Saxena’ was based on the personal success story of a female soldier. Whereas ‘Ghazi Attack’ was a different kind of film based on submarine war.

The war with Pakistan of 1965 is yet to be shown

If we look at it, till now most of the war films in our country have been made on the 1971 war with Pakistan. Apart from this, the Kargil War of 1999 has also been shown in some wars. But the story of bravery of Indian forces in the 1965 war with Pakistan and the 1962 war with China is yet to be told. At the same time, the stories of bravery of the Indian Navy have also not been brought before the audience yet. It is reported that some producers are trying to bring forward these courageous stories.
