On January 25, Siddharth Anand’s aerial action drama Fighter made its theatrical debut. The earnings on the second day surged by more than 75 percent, reaching Rs 41.20 crore, after reaching Rs 24.60 crore on the first. According to Sacnilk, the movie suffered a decline of around thirty percent on the third day, earning Rs 28 crore in revenue. Fighter, which stars Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone in the key roles, got an overall Hindi occupancy rate of 29.58 percent on Saturday. At present, the total amount collected in India is Rs 93.80 crores.
According to Sacnilk, the movie has made Rs 10 crore from its day four advance bookings thus far. Pathaan, starring Shah Rukh Khan, was directed by Siddharth before. The film got a thunderous opening and collected more than Rs 100 crores in the first two days. Pathan minted Rs 540 crores in India.
Hrithik, Siddharth, Karan Singh Grover and Akshay Oberoi watched the film yesterday and surprised fans present at the theatre. Hrithik shared a video of the fans cheering for them and wrote, “And it’s done! This is why I do what I do. So happy seeing these smiling faces. Thank you so much for all the love.”
Hrithik was last seen in the film Vikram Vedha also starring Saif Ali Khan. Fighter marks Hrithik’s fifth-highest opener after War, Bang Bang, Krrish 3, and Agneepath. Fighter brings Deepika Padukone and Hrithik Roshan together for the first time. The film also stars Anil Kapoor, Karan Singh Grover and Akshay Oberoi.
Siddharth recently reacted to the film being termed ‘anti-Pakistan’. According to India Today, he said, “When it comes to the trailer, you do put out a few lines. You cannot play out the whole film. Then why will you go to the theatre? You do raise some questions, some sparks so that people can come and watch the film. Hence, our trailer has serviced exactly that motive. So, in a way, I am happy it’s done that. It’s made them inquisitive, and I would tell them to come to theatres, and all your questions would be answered.”
