Hrithik Roshan’s much-awaited Fighter was released on the eve of Republic Day. Loaded with some really high expectations, the magnum opus failed to perform on the expected lines. It did enter the 200 crore club at the Indian box office but couldn’t get that clean success verdict in its theatrical run due to its really high budget. Keep reading to know more!
The action thriller marked the third collaboration between Hrithik Roshan and director Siddharth Anand after the success of Bang Bang and War. As their previous two films were big money spinners, expectations were really high from this one. Reactions from critics were mostly positive, and word-of-mouth was more inclined in favor. However, the niche genre of aerial action restricted the film to just urban centers. As a result, the collection remained much below expectations.
On day 1, Fighter earned 24.60 crores and did a good job by raking in 123.60 crores during the 4-day extended opening weekend. However, there were some big drops during weekdays, and the 8-day extended opening week ended at 149.35 crores. Towards the end, the film crossed 200 crores and ended the theatrical journey at 215 crores.
