Akshay Kumar’s Sky Force continues its impressive box office run, racing towards a historic milestone with good momentum. The film, fueled by strong word-of-mouth and a compelling narrative, has managed to sustain its dominance even into its second Friday. In contrast, Deva, despite boasting an ensemble cast and an engaging genre, has had a surprisingly lukewarm opening, raising questions about its long-term performance.
Sky Force Maintains Strong Momentum on Second Friday
Sky Force continues to dominate the box office, showcasing robust performance even into its second Friday. After a stellar first week, where the film amassed a total of ₹99.70 crore, Sky Force crossed the coveted ₹100 crore milestone on its eighth day, making it the first film of 2025 to achieve this feat.
The film’s first-week earnings broke down as follows: Friday – ₹15.30 crore, Saturday – ₹26.30 crore, Sunday – ₹31.60 crore, Monday – ₹8.10 crore, Tuesday – ₹6.30 crore, Wednesday – ₹6.60 crore, and Thursday – ₹5.50 crore, totalling ₹99.70 crores.
On its second Friday, Sky Force maintained a commendable performance, adding ₹4.60 crore to its collection. This brings the film’s total box office collection to ₹104.30 crore. The film must continue to show significant growth over the weekend to further boost its healthy total.
With Sky Force’s phenomenal success setting the pace for 2025, it’s clear that audiences are gravitating toward content-driven cinema paired with star power. Its steady box office growth reflects both strong audience engagement and positive critical reception.
Deva’s Opening Day Falls Short Despite Stellar Cast and Promising Genre
While Sky Force thrives at the box office, Deva with just ₹5.78 crore opening day collection had an unexpectedly modest start, considering its star-studded cast and genre appeal. Despite high expectations fueled by pre-release buzz and strong promotional efforts, the film’s opening day collections have been underwhelming. This slow start has surprised both critics and fans, as the film seemed poised to make a significant impact. However, with the weekend ahead, there’s still potential for Deva to gain traction if positive word-of-mouth and strong reviews can turn the tide in its favour.
