Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone starrer Fighter was the first Bollywood biggie to hit the screens this year. The film couldn’t manage to create the kind of hype the makers would have expected and they hoped that the positive word of mouth could save the film.
Fighter’s advance bookings are very low and the promotional content did not work for audiences. The noon shows started with just around 10% occupancy and the movie received mostly positive reviews and favourable word of mouth.
Normally the biggies take a very big jump in occupancy as the shows progress on the first day but for the Fighter, the jump did not happen. Even the evening and night shows occupancies are just around 20% – 25%. The film’s opening day is expected to be in the range of 20Cr nett in India which is Very disappointing.
Fighter should take a bigger jump on 2nd day with the holiday advantage but if it still fails, then it will surely be a worrying sign for the makers. Tomorrow the film has to take a 100% jump considering the reviews it had. The action drama features an impressive star cast of Hrithik, Deepika Padukone, and Anil Kapoor and is directed by Siddharth Malhotra whose earlier film Pathan was one of the biggest blockbusters of 2023.
