Nearly two months after the release of Akshay Kumar-starrer Sky Force, the film will now be available to view on OTT. Streaming platform Amazon Prime Video will premiere the movie for free to all subscribers on March 21 after offering it as a rental film since March 7.
Sky Force follows the true story of Wing Commander K.O. Ahuja, who led the Indian Air Force in a retaliatory attack on Pakistan’s Sargodha airbase during the 1965 Indo-Pakistani air war. When Captain Vijaya, aka Tabby, Ahuja's close associate, goes “missing in action”, the government does not bat an eye to find him, deeming his disappearance his own fault. Ahuja is determined to uncover the truth and bring his friend back home. Directed by Sandeep Kewlani and Abhishek Anil Kapur, the film features Veer Pahariya alongside Kumar in lead roles, with Sara Ali Khan, Nimrat Kaur, and Sharad Kelkar as supporting cast.

While the development of the film began in mid-2022, it was publically announced on Gandhi Jayanth 2023, highlighting the film's patriotic theme. The big-budget film was also shot in Mumbai, Lucknow, Sitapur, Amritsar, Hyderabad, Delhi, Pathankot, and the UK, before wrapping up in Mussoorie, Uttarakhand in December 2024.
Sky Force earned mixed reviews, Pooja Biraia Jaiswal of THE WEEK describing it "a compelling action drama with a gripping narrative at its heart". The film, bankrolled by Jio Studios, Maddock Films, and Leo Films UK Production, had a lukewarm performance at the box office, grossing approximately Rs 150 crore against a Rs 160 crore budget.
