Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone starrer Fighter made its digital premiere a few days ago on Netflix. This film was one of the most awaited movies of the year but failed to live up to its hype on its theatrical release despite positive reviews and favourable word of mouth.
Directed by Siddharth Anand and released on 25th January, the film got off to a decent start and did well over the Republic Day and subsequent weekend. Fighter, however, failed to cash in on the momentum and subsequently crashed.
While the film disappointed some on its theatrical run, it surely has managed to disappoint the southern fans on its digital premiere. Hrithik Roshan is one of the few Bollywood stars who has a great fan base in southern states.
When the Fighter OTT release was announced, many expected it to be released simultaneously in other languages as well. However, much to the disappointment of everyone, Fighter only had a Hindi version released on Netflix.
The film also featured Anil Kapoor, Ashutosh Rana, Karan Grover, Akshay Oberoi and Sanjeeda Sheikh and collected more than 370 Cr gross worldwide. This was Siddharth Anand’s immediate next release after 2023 blockbuster Pathaan and that’s why everyone placed high expectations on it which Fighter failed to live up to.
