The film is expected to do well despite releasing on a working day. Producer and film business expert, Girish Johar told us that he felt that Fighter would take a good start. "The film can make anywhere between Rs 28 to 30 crores. The trailer has been very well received," he said. The last film of Hrithik Roshan at the box office was Vikram Vedha. It made a little more than Rs 10. 5 crores. However, it was a remake of a hugely watched Tamil movie.
In 2023, we had movies like Pathaan, Gadar 2, Jawan, Animal, Salaar which took really big opening at the box office. The promotions of Fighter started quite late. Siddharth Anand said in interviews that it took him time to process the huge opening that Pathaan got at the box office. If Fighter makes above Rs 25 crores then it will be close to the opening day figures of Shah Rukh Khan and Rajkumar Hirani's Dunki. The songs of Fighter have not picked up like Besharam Rang and Pathaan's title number.
Fighter stars Anil Kapoor, Akshay Oberoi, Sanjeeda Shaikh and Karan Singh Grover along with the lead pair of Deepika Padukone and Hrithik Roshan.
