Hrithik Roshan’s upcoming film, ‘Fighter,’ opened to a positive response on Saturday morning. By Sunday at 11 am, the film had already sold an impressive 24,000 tickets across three major national chains – PVR, Inox, and Cinepolis.
Expected to surpass the 25,000 mark by noon on Sunday, ‘Fighter’ is gearing up for a promising momentum as it approaches its opening day. The film’s goal is to build on this positive start, targeting a substantial number in advance bookings leading up to the release. Aiming for the 3 Lakh mark in the top three chains by Wednesday night, ‘Fighter’ seems poised to reach an ideal number of 2.50 lakh.
Fighter Advance Bookings off to flying start
While these early results are promising, the real test lies in the content’s delivery, with audience word of mouth playing a crucial role in attracting a larger walk-in audience. Despite being a non-holiday release, evening and night shows are expected to benefit from the Republic Day holiday on Friday, especially if morning show reports lean towards the positive.
‘Fighter‘ is categorized as a non-franchise action film in the aerial space, requiring time for the masses to warm up to its unique content. The combination of Hrithik Roshan‘s star power, action sequences, his on-screen pairing with Deepika Padukone, and the director’s prowess have generated significant buzz around the film. Now, all eyes are on the content to deliver.
With a clear window of over a month to make its mark at the box office, ‘Fighter’ seems well-positioned in the post-pandemic business landscape. The film’s potential for a sustained presence is promising, and success hinges on maintaining momentum until the much-anticipated release day.
