A well deserving film that should have actually soared quite high, Fighter has seen a low extended first week at the box office. The collections were a little short of the Rs. 150 crores mark as they stood at 148.35 crores. This is disappointing because so much more was expected out of it. In fact, these are the kind of numbers that should have actually come in the extended weekend itself but unfortunately the drop was too heavy on Monday.
The collections kept seeing a bit of a drop on a day-by-day basis, though thankfully there wasn’t any more big crash. On Thursday, the film brought in 5 crores more and hopefully today too the collections will stay over the Rs. 5 crores mark. Once that happens then some sort of growth can be expected over rest of the weekend. These are the three days when, in fact, maximum moolah will come for the film since from Monday onwards the collections will get into that Rs. 2-3 crores range and post that, new films will start arriving which will curtail its run.
This is a good film that definitely deserved a better run and one can certainly expect Siddharth Anand and Hrithik Roshan to be disappointed. There was a lot that went into the making of the film and it’s a good enough entertainer as well. Unfortunately, the film didn’t reach out to the audience in a way it should have and hopefully it will eventually happen on its OTT premiere.
Note: All collections as per production and distribution sources
