The latest update on the box office performance of Siddharth Anand’s action-packed film “Fighter” starring Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone reveals a modest collection on its thirteenth day of release, with earnings just over ₹3 crore. Despite featuring a stellar cast including Anil Kapoor, Karan Singh Grover, and Akshay Oberoi, the film has seen a decline in collections, marking its lowest earnings thus far.
According to figures reported by Sacnilk.com, “Fighter” is expected to surpass the ₹180 crore mark in India within two weeks of its theatrical release. The film initially garnered ₹146.5 crore during its first week, followed by varying earnings in its second weekend, with ₹5.75 crore on day 9, ₹10.5 crore on day 10, and ₹12.5 crore on day 11. However, day 13 saw a significant drop in collections, with earnings estimated at ₹3.01 crore nett across all languages.
Aside from its box office performance, “Fighter” has also found itself embroiled in controversy. Reports emerged on Tuesday of the film receiving a legal notice over a kissing scene involving the lead actors. Wing Commander Saumya Deep Das, an officer of the Indian Air Force, reportedly issued the notice, expressing concerns over the portrayal of romantic entanglements within the armed forces, citing a breach of discipline and decorum.
Directed as a tribute to the valor and sacrifice of the Indian armed forces, “Fighter” features Hrithik Roshan as Squadron Leader Shamsher Pathania, Deepika Padukone as Squadron Leader Minal Rathore, and Anil Kapoor as Group Captain Rakesh Jai Singh. Despite positive reviews and word of mouth from audiences, the film’s legal controversy and fluctuating box office figures have garnered attention in the media.
Produced by Viacom18 Studios in collaboration with Marflix Pictures, “Fighter” marks the first-ever on-screen collaboration between Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone, adding to the anticipation surrounding the film’s release.
As “Fighter” continues its theatrical run, industry analysts and fans alike remain curious about its box office trajectory and reception amidst the ongoing legal scrutiny.
