In its seventh day at the worldwide box office, the much-anticipated film "Fighter," featuring the dynamic duo of Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone, has officially entered the prestigious Rs 250 crore club. Despite a remarkable opening, the film's performance has presented a perplexing contrast between its domestic and international box office figures, leaving trade analysts and audiences alike in a state of intrigue.
According to trade analyst Taran Adarsh, the weekday business of "Fighter" has unfolded as somewhat of a "paradox." The film, which revolves around the characters of Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone as air force officers, has witnessed a substantial decline in its domestic box office numbers, described by Adarsh as "a complete shocker." However, the film has demonstrated impressive performance on the global stage, particularly in the USA, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, where it has maintained robust weekday figures following an "excellent weekend" of business.
Despite the film ticking all the right boxes, including star power, directorial credentials, critical acclaim, and positive audience feedback, its domestic box office total after six days stands at ₹134 crore, as reported by Sacnilk. The current week has seen a stark drop in daily collections, with figures dwindling to single digits—₹8 crore on Monday and ₹7.5 crore on the following day, compared to the substantial ₹29 crore collected on Sunday.
Taran Adarsh expressed his astonishment at the film's underperformance in India, stating, "Fighter shocks India, rocks overseas." The unexpected downturn in numbers within the domestic market has sent shockwaves throughout the industry. Despite the film's commendable attributes, facing setbacks at the beginning of the year is causing concern within the industry. The film's apparent disparity in performance between the domestic and international markets remains a topic of speculation and analysis, leaving industry insiders and moviegoers questioning the factors contributing to this unexpected turn of events.
