Defence Minister and Chiefs Attend Special Screening of ‘Sky Force’

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh joined the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) and the three service chiefs at a special screening of ‘Sky Force,’ a film that narrates the story of the Indian Air Force’s (IAF) valor, courage, and sacrifice during the 1965 Indo-Pak War. Lauding the makers, Singh appreciated their efforts in bringing to life the inspiring tale of IAF’s heroic contribution to the nation’s defense.

Special Screening for NCC Cadets

Ahead of its grand release on January 24, 2025, the film’s lead actors, Akshay Kumar and Veer Pahariya, hosted a special screening for National Cadet Corps (NCC) cadets in Delhi. Accompanied by producers Dinesh Vijan and Amar Kaushik, the event witnessed the enthusiastic participation of the NCC cadets, who were deeply moved by the powerful portrayal of the IAF’s historic Sargodha airstrike.

Interactive Session with the Cadets

The screening was followed by an engaging interactive session, where the Sky Force team discussed the film’s inspiration, the rigorous training undertaken by the cast, and the critical role of patriotism and service in shaping the nation. Adding to the cadets’ excitement, Akshay Kumar and Veer Pahariya sang a song from the film, making the evening memorable.

Honoring India’s First Air Combat Hero

‘Sky Force’ brings to the forefront the untold story of Squadron Leader A.B. Devayya, a war hero who laid down his life during India’s first airstrike mission in Sargodha. The film highlights his bravery and sacrifice, shedding light on a pivotal yet lesser-known chapter of India’s military history.

Reviving Patriotism Through Music

The movie also features a reimagined version of the iconic song “Ae Mere Watan Ke Logon,” originally sung by Lata Mangeshkar. This timeless classic, revamped by Tanishk Bagchi under Saregama’s banner, blends modern elements with its original soul, saluting the courage and dedication of India’s armed forces.

A Thrilling Patriotic Tribute

Produced by Jio Studios and Maddock Films, ‘Sky Force’ promises to be a gripping tale of bravery, strategy, and sacrifice. The film not only honors the valor of the Indian Air Force but also serves as a reminder of the indomitable spirit of those who defend the nation.

As the release date approaches, ‘Sky Force’ is poised to captivate audiences and reignite the spirit of patriotism, showcasing a milestone moment in India’s military history.
