Shahid Kapoor’s Deva vs Akshay Kumar’s Sky Force: A Showdown of Two Power-Packed Bollywood Releases
Posted on 04 Jan, 2025
The first month of 2025 is set to witness a thrilling race at the box office as Shahid Kapoor’s Deva and Akshay Kumar’s Sky Force gear up for release just a week apart. While Sky Force arrives on Republic Day week, January 24, Deva hits the big screens on January 31. With both films belonging to high-stakes, action-heavy genres, audiences are eager to see how these two anticipated releases stack up.
An intense action thriller, Deva is directed by Rosshan Andrrews, with a screenplay penned by the acclaimed duo Bobby–Sanjay, marking their Hindi cinema debut. Produced by Zee Studios and Roy Kapur Films, the movie stars Shahid Kapoor in the titular role, alongside Pooja Hegde and Pavail Gulati.
The film revolves around a brilliant yet rebellious police officer (Shahid Kapoor) who delves into a high-profile case, uncovering a sinister web of deceit and betrayal. With gritty action sequences, a layered narrative, and Shahid’s raw charisma, Deva is shaping up to be a visual and emotional rollercoaster.
Shahid’s look and the intense tone of the motion posters have already created waves online. Known for his versatility and ability to push boundaries, Shahid’s portrayal of a morally complex cop is highly anticipated.

An aviation-based action drama, Sky Force is directed by Sandeep Kewlani and Abhishek Kapur and produced by Dinesh Vijan, Jyoti Deshpande, and Amar Kaushik. The film stars Akshay Kumar, Veer Pahariya in his debut, Nimrat Kaur, and Sara Ali Khan in pivotal roles.
Set against the backdrop of India’s first deadly airstrike, Sky Force blends action, patriotism, and heroism. With its tagline, “Some missions end, while others last a lifetime,” the movie promises a gripping narrative that pays homage to the bravery of the Indian Air Force.
Akshay Kumar’s stronghold in patriotic dramas, coupled with high-stakes action, makes Sky Force an ideal Republic Day release. The recently unveiled 34-second motion poster has teased an adrenaline-fueled story of courage and dedication, setting the stage for tomorrow’s grand trailer reveal.
While both films cater to different audience sensibilities—Deva with its gritty police drama and Sky Force with its patriotic narrative—they share a common goal of delivering high-impact cinema.
Deva appeals to fans of intense thrillers with Shahid Kapoor leading a story of betrayal and justice.
Sky Force is set to capture hearts with its inspiring tale of valor and Akshay Kumar’s enduring appeal.
Which Are You Most Excited For?
With Sky Force dropping its trailer tomorrow and Deva unveiling its teaser, both films have a chance to dominate conversations. Will it be Shahid Kapoor’s intense transformation in Deva or Akshay Kumar’s high-octane patriotism in Sky Force that wins your vote?
The stage is set, and the battle has just begun. Share your thoughts!
