1)Sky Force
Release Date: October 2, 2024
Genre: Action Drama
Director: Abhishek Anil Kapur, Sandeep Kewlani
Stars: Sara Ali Khan, Nimrat Kaur
Sky Force is a tribute to India’s first ever and the most daring airstrike. Akshay Kumar as an Indian Air Force officer full of patriotism and bravery. From its heart-stopping action sequences to an emotionally charged narrative, the film keeps viewers riveted through a defining chapter in India’s military history. Boasting spectacular visuals and an emotional engaging performance, it was lauded as one of the most affecting releases of the year.
2)Welcome to the Jungle
Release date: Dec. 20, 2024
Genre: Comedy
Director: Ahmed Khan
Also starring: Sanjay Dutt, Suniel Shetty, Jacqueline Fernandez
Another riotously funny ensemble Welcome film, Welcome to the Jungle is the third instalment in the franchise. Akshay Kumar returns as the lead, showcasing his perfect comic timing. Loaded with madcap drollery, oddball figures and larger-than-life shtick, the movie made itself a holiday audience pleaser. Its large star cast and uproarious screenplay made it a standout in Akshay’s 2024 filmography.
3)Singham Again
Release Date: August 15, 2024
Genre: Action Thriller
Director: Rohit Shetty
Stars: Ajay Devgn, Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone
A sequel to Rohit Shetty’s beloved cop universe, Singham Again is an action film with a noir streak that will see the return of Akshay Kumar as Veer Sooryavanshi. Akshay Devgan shares screen space with other powerhouse performers but still manages to add a lot of gravitas to the film’s intense, adrenaline pumping scenes. Dropped on Independence Day, it resonated with audiences, further solidifying his space in the Hindi action arena.
Why These Films Stand Out
Akshay Kumar, with his projects in 2024, demonstrated his skill to transcend genres, whether warm-hearted dramas, gut-busting comedies and thrillers that kept the viewer at the edge of the seat. These films showcased a different example of his acting range and contributed immensely to the Bollywood cinematic oeuvre.
