Over the Republic Day weekend, Siddharth Anand delivered yet another blockbuster hit film titled Fighter, exactly one year after the release of Pathaan. The Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone starter film has garnered immense success at the box office and captured the hearts of audiences worldwide. However, a certain section of people have also criticised the film for its writing and tonality. Hrithik Roshan addressed this in a recent interview.
Speaking to Film Companion, Hrithik Roshan said, “Well, I would like to believe that my fans and my audience who come to watch my films are a bit more evolved and they would not need lines like this. So that’s a weight that I bear because as an actor, I don’t cross any lines.”
He further added, “At the same time, I admire that Sid is a very very headstrong filmmaker. It’s his conviction; sometimes you see somebody that convinced and it kind of breaks your heart to power down and say no. Which I don’t do. But of course, I also bear the weight of that because finally, it’s my face.”
Besides Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone, the film stars Anil Kapoor, Karan Singh Grover, Akshay Oberoi, Sanjeeda Shaikh, Talat Aziz, Pradum Shukla, and Pradum Jaykar in pivotal roles. The film marks Hrithik and Deepika’s first collaboration with one another and third with filmmaker Siddharth Anand.
According to Sacnik.com, Fighter has so far collected Rs 118 crore in just five days. The film has received a good word of mouth and opened to positive reviews. News18 gave the film a 4-star rating and wrote in its review, “Like the quintessential entertainer, Fighter serves up a little bit of everything in its narrative — action, drama, music, romance, and even emotions. The screenplay makes room for every commercial movie element. Fighter is a perfect popcorn entertainment thriller that plays to the gallery and lives up to the hype.” Fighter has a run time of 2 hours and 46 minutes. The Central Board of Film Certification has also granted it a U/A certification to the film.
