The Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone starrer ‘Fighter’ released a day prior to Republic Day, taking advantage of the patriotic vibe and holiday. The film earned Rs 39 crore on Republic Day, owing to positive word of mouth. However, the real test for the film was the weekend, with expectations of staying above the Rs 30 crore mark on both Saturday and Sunday. Unfortunately, day 3 saw a significant dip in numbers, earning Rs 28 crore as per early estimates. Despite this, ‘Fighter’ is expected to cross the Rs 100 crore mark within its first four days, with better numbers anticipated on Sunday. The film has received praise on social media, with constant word of mouth promotions. The cast and crew, including Hrithik Roshan, director Siddharth Anand, Anil Kapoor, Karan Singh Grover, and Akshay Oberoi, have continued promotions and visited a theater in Mumbai to witness fan reactions. While the film has seen strong growth in areas like Gujarat and Rajasthan, numbers from the south have been lower.
