Globally, excluding the Middle East—where release issues have slightly marred its full potential—the ‘Fighter’ has soared past the 7 million mark. Domestically, the movie started with Rs 24.60 crore on Thursday and saw a leap to Rs 41.20 crore on Friday—the Republic Day holiday—followed by Rs 27.60 crore on Saturday. Its remarkable Sunday performance firmly positions it as a major cinema hit at the start of the year.

The critical and commercial success of ‘Fighter’ exemplifies the thriving Indian film industry’s ability to deliver entertainment that resonates with audiences both at home and internationally. Beyond its entertainment value, the film has demonstrated the power of star-studded collaborations, with Deepika Padukone and Hrithik Roshan’s on-screen pairing receiving particular acclaim.

Navigating the aftermath of its release, team ‘Fighter’ has much to celebrate. Not only has the film achieved impressive figures and heralded a new era for high octane dramas in Indian cinema, but the recognition from personalities such as PV Sindhu also adds a layer of communal pride and connection to a film that promulgates strength, resilience, and skill—qualities that Sindhu herself knows only too well.
