Hrithik Roshan & Deepika Padukone are painting the town tricolor playing Air Force Officers in Siddharth Anand’s Fighter. The war film that has been based on the Pulwama Terror Attack is expected to open somewhere in the range of 25 – 28 crore on Day 1. However, it has to be noticed that this is a working day for HR & DP’s film.
The real numbers might explode at the box office on Fighter’s Day 2, with Republic Day being a National Holiday. That would define the actual buzz of the film. Interestingly, the positive word of mouth from the opening day will help the film boost its numbers on Day 2.
Coming back to the opening day, Fighter’s Day 1 box office collection will be somewhere in the range of 25 – 28 crore, almost half of last year’s Republic Day release Pathaan, which opened at 55 crore at the box office. However, doing some research, we decided to compare Fighter’s expected numbers from Deepika Padukone’s first day at the box office!
