Despite being in its fifth week and continued competition from Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya and new releases Article 370 and Crakk, Fighter managed to hold well on Friday. With Cinema Lovers Day coming into the picture and tickets being made available for just Rs. 99, there were enhanced footfalls for the Hrithik Roshan starrer. The film now has restricted showcasing for itself, but still, the occupancy was quite good wherever it was playing, especially at the premium multiplexes.
As a result, 0.75 crore* came in, which is, in fact, a few lakhs more than what it had scored the day before. The film has managed to keep the interest alive amongst the audiences, and that’s what’s allowing the exhibitors to continue their faith in it and give it some shows. Otherwise, with other options already in hand, they may well have drawn curtains on Fighter. However, that has now happened, and the numbers will jump all over again today and tomorrow.
Last week, Saturday collections stood at 1.50 crores, and Sunday collections were 2 crores. Now, even with a minimum jump today, the film will still manage to go past the 1 crore mark, and then the same will happen tomorrow as well, which means at the very least at least 2.25 crores more are on the anvil. The Siddharth Anand-directed aviation action drama has already netted 211 crores and is now comfortably headed for a lifetime total of over 215 crores.
