Fighter box office collection day 15: Hrithik Roshan’s film continues to experience turbulence, can it hit Rs 350 crore worldwide?

Fighter is the third collaboration between Siddharth Anand and Hrithik Roshan, after Bang Bang! (2014) and War (2019). It is also the second collaboration between the filmmaker and Deepika; the two earlier collaborated on Pathaan (2023), which went on to earn Rs 1,050.30 crore globally. The lifetime collection of Bang Bang! was Rs 332.43 crore and War’s worldwide total was Rs 475.62.

Addressing the film’s underwhelming performance, the filmmaker had said in an interview with Galatta Plus, “Our expectations as makers have become a little unrealistic. I am talking about myself also, having delivered Pathaan just one year ago. We need to keep our expectations in check and align them with the product. Also, it was a working day. Thursday is considered mid-week. For instance, we held a special screening for friends and family on Thursday, and whoever we texted and asked, at least 40% of them asked, ‘Is the show in the evening?’ So, that time, it hit us how will people bunk work or bunk school and come in the morning.”

Fighter, released on January 24, is produced by Viacom18 Studios and Marflix Pictures. Along with Hrithik and Deepika, the film also stars Anil Kapoor and Karan Singh Grover.
