Hrithik Roshan’s Fighter, after its theatrical run has ended, is making noise on the OTT platform. The film was touted to be a big money spinner at the box office, and though it did reasonably well, it wasn’t up to the mark considering the scale and cost. Thankfully, it is now reaching more audiences on the small screen, and in fact, it has defeated Shah Rukh Khan’s Dunki and Prabhas’ Salaar with its debut numbers.
Hrithik & Siddharth Anand’s combo failed this time!
Before this aerial action drama, Hrithik and director Siddharth Anand worked together for Bang Bang and War. Both films were highly successful at the box office and enjoyed a good theatrical run. This time, to give a much better experience to the viewers, a much bigger budget was spent, and it ultimately took a toll on the film’s verdict.
Due to a budget in the range of 250-300 crores, Fighter failed to emerge a clean success against its Indian collection of 212.50 crores. In isolation, this number looks good, but a much bigger total was expected from the film.
