Fighter Box Office Day 2
As per the early estimates, 'Fighter' registered a spike from its opening day collection of ₹22.5 crore and amassed ₹36.48 crore on Friday, bringing up its total domestic collection in 2 days to ₹58.98 crore. The spike can be attributed to both a national holiday on Friday by account of the 70th Republic Day and the film's patriotic fervour. Film trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to X (formerly Twitter) on Friday and wrote, “After an ordinary/average start in morning and noon shows, #Fighter picked up pace post 5 pm onwards on Day 1 [working day before the big holiday]. Agree, the biggie should've targeted a higher number on its opening day, but the good news is that the audience feedback is excellent and that should translate into big numbers today [Day 2; #RepublicDay holiday].”
Helmed by Siddharth Anand, the film also stars Karan Singh Grover and Akshay Oberoi in pivotal roles. The film features Hrithik Roshan as Squadron Leader Shamsher Pathania aka Patty, Deepika as Squadron Leader Minal Rathore aka Minni, and Anil as Group Captain Rakesh Jai Singh aka Rocky fighting for the country. It marks Hrithik and Deepika's first-ever onscreen collaboration.
