Siddharth Anand's highly anticipated directorial venture, "Fighter," starring Hrithik Roshan, Deepika Padukone, and Anil Kapoor, has created quite a buzz among fans and critics alike. The film recently had a special screening for Indian Air Force Officers in Delhi, receiving overwhelming praise for its action-packed sequences and stellar performances.

Viewers who attended the screening expressed their excitement in watching Hrithik Roshan in a stylish and action-packed avatar after his previous release, "Vikram Vedha." They commended both Hrithik and Deepika for their performances and praised the film's never-seen-before visual effects and jaw-dropping action sequences, calling it a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Some even referred to it as a 'paisa vasool' movie, meaning it provided full value for money.

Trade analyst Taran Adarsh also shared his glowing review of "Fighter," giving it a rating of 4.5 stars out of 5. Adarsh highlighted the director's hat-trick of successful films, including "#War" and "#Pathaan," and praised the film for its aerial combat, drama, emotions, and patriotism. He described "Fighter" as a king-sized entertainer, with Hrithik Roshan's bravura act stealing the spotlight. Adarsh urged audiences not to miss the film, calling it a fitting tribute to the brave soldiers who selflessly protect our nation.

The film has secured a 'U/A' certificate from the censor board and has a runtime of 2 hours and 43 minutes. It is all set to release across 4200 screens nationwide, with the advance booking already surpassing 214,000 tickets. Early trade predictions expect "Fighter" to open with a net collection of around Rs 25 crore in India, with the potential for further growth through positive word of mouth.

Looking ahead, the Republic Day holiday on January 26 is expected to boost the film's box office numbers. Evening and night shows are projected to witness a housefull turnout, further contributing to the film's success.

In response to rumors that "Fighter" may be considered 'Anti-Pakistan,' director Siddharth Anand clarified that his film actually speaks against terrorism. By avoiding blatant jingoism, "Fighter" delivers a solid message while providing audiences with a larger-than-life cinematic experience. Anand stressed that the film serves as a tribute to the dedicated and fearless individuals who protect the nation.

With the overwhelming positive reviews and anticipation surrounding "Fighter," fans of Hrithik Roshan, Deepika Padukone, and action-packed thrillers are eagerly waiting to witness this gripping cinematic spectacle on the big screen.
