The wait will be over this Thursday as the biggest film of the year so far, Fighter, will be hitting the screens. This one is indeed a biggie as Siddharth Anand, the man with a 100% strike rate at the box office and the first Bollywood filmmaker to enter the 500 Crore Club, is at the helm of affairs. Moreover, the cast is fantastic too, with Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone coming together for the first time and Anil Kapoor, who has been making some interesting choices of late, being pivotal to the film.
The film’s teaser was good, and the trailer, released recently, was even better. Its unveiling made one believe that this one has the potential to open at 35 crores minimum, possibly going even further.
While the action quotient had gone up with this film, it was the patriotic and nationalistic angle conveyed by the promo that seemed to be the USP. That’s why all eyes were on the advance booking outcome during the last few days.
