After seeing a huge drop on Monday, Fighter has somehow managed to stay stable - albeit on a lower side - in days to follow. This was evidenced on Wednesday too when the collections came to Rs. 6 crores. Of course, given the credentials of the film, this isn’t the kind of number that anyone associated with it would have expected since a double-digit score was a given right till the close of extended first week. However, when Monday itself went way below the Rs. 10 crores mark, then it was all about survival with the best possible.
The Hrithik Roshan, Deepika Padukone and Anil Kapoor film now stands at Rs. 143.35 crores, and the overall collections would stay a few lakhs below the Rs. 150 crores mark by close of extended first week. There would be a bit of a drop today as well and then it’s all about the kind of hold that it manages on second Friday. Post that, it will boil down to the rise in numbers over the weekend and the best that can happen is that at least on Sunday, the film reaches a double-digit score.
Siddharth Anand’s first collaboration with Hrithik Roshan was Bang Bang and that film had earned Rs. 181 crores back in 2014. The first aim would be to go past that number at least on an absolute scale (since accounting for inflation and ticket prices, this number will be rather high). Due to an open week ahead, this should happen eventually, though unfortunately Rs. 200 Crores Club entry would be extremely tough.
Note: All collections as per production and distribution sources
