Box Office: 'Fighter' Opening Day Early Estimates

Mumbai, January 25 - Hrithik Roshan and director Siddharth Anand's third film together Fighter hit the big screens today. The film had underwhelming pre-sales for the opening day which left so much on-the-spot booking for the chances of a big opening at the box office.## The movie had a slow start in the morning with an average occupancy of around 10-15% before witnessing a minor jump in the afternoon and a further improvement in the evening and night shows, however, the big jump in the occupancy was missing throughout the day. ## Fighter managed to cross the 20 crores net mark as early estimates suggest the opening in the range of 21-22 crores net. The opening can be called a decent though a much better start was expected from the combo of Hrithik and Siddharth. The business of the film mostly came from urban areas as mass centres remained on the lower side on the opening day. ## The initial word of mouth seems to be on the positive side which is a must for the movie. The bookings for the second day, which also happens to be Republic Day, are much better and the film will look to score a big jump tomorrow. A jump of at least 50% is what the movie will need to get the advantage of the holiday. ## The movie will target the opening of 100+ crores net over the 4-day weekend. The word-of-mouth effect will exactly be seen from Monday but the good thing for the movie is that there is not much competition for it for at least two weeks. ## Stay tuned...

Mumbai, January 24 - A couple of days after the reports of Bollywood power couple, Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt along with Vicky Kaushal teaming up with director Sanjay Leela Bhansali, the star filmmaker has officially confirmed that the development.## The official announcement of the film was made on January 24 with the title Love and War. It is a love story set against the backdrop of war, believed to be loosely based on Raj Kapoor's 1964 classic, "Sangam". The movie marks the reunion of Kapoor and Bhansali who previously collaborated "Saawariya" which was the former's debut as a lead hero. ## Alia Bhatt also reuniting with SLB after the "Gangubai Kathiawadi" in 2022.

Hrithik Roshan's 'Fighter' Needs Positive Word of Mouth To Work Big At The Box Office

Mumbai, January 24 - Bollywood star Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone's Fighter was supposed to be a frontloaded starter at the box office but the table seems to have turned since last week with unexpectedly slow response in the bookings. ## Directed by Siddharth Anand, "Fighter" has been one of the most-awaited movies of the year and the recently released trailer also looked like a big-screen spectacle, however, the reality is hinting at a different scenario with the way pre-sales are progressing at the moment. ## The bookings of the film were opened on January 20 and the initial response looked positive but as the release date is getting nearer, the advances have stuck and are progressing at a very slow pace. At one point, it looked like the opening day pre-sales would easily be around 15-20 crores for the opening day, but now, it is expected to finish at around 8 crores. ## The current pre-sales of "Fighter" are around 5.50 crores gross which is underwhelming and the movie needs a massive turnaround to have an opening of around 25 crores. The pre-sales trend has also almost confirmed that "Fighter" won't be a big opener in the range of 40-50 crores. ## The film will need super positive word of mouth, a must for it to work big at the box office. The Republic Day weekend should help the film on some level, but overall, "Fighter" will have to depend on WOM which will make or break its box office prospects. ## It is quite a turnaround for director Siddharth Anand whose "Pathaan" starring superstar Shah Rukh Khan opened with a bang during the same frame in 2023. The movie scored huge pre-sales and went on to create many records at the box office. Anand will be hoping "Fighter" to have a long run even if it may not open or even close to "Pathaan's" number. ## Stay tuned...

Hrithik Roshan's 'Fighter' Banned In Gulf Countries

Mumbai, January 23 - Bollywood stars Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone Fighter has failed to get censor approval in Gulf countries. The Siddharth Anand's directorial aerial action flick is scheduled to be released on January 25. ## According to the latest reports, entire Gulf countries, except for UAE, have banned "Fighter". The film was submitted to the censor on January 10, and on January 23, it was officially communicated that the movie wouldn't be hitting the big screen in the Gulf. However, the film will be released in UAE as scheduled with a PG-15 rating. ## The reason behind the ban has not been revealed yet. Recently, superstar Salman Khan's "Tiger 3" was also banned in Kuwait and Qatar for its theatrical release. The Gulf has been a big overseas market for Indian movies so the ban will put a dent in "Fighter's" business. ## Produced by Viacom18 Studios and Marflix Pictures, the movie stars Hrithik Roshan, Deepika Padukone, and Anil Kapoor in prominent roles. It is the first-of-its-kind aerial action thriller which has references to the 2019 Pulwama attack, and the 2019 Balakot airstrike. ## Stay tuned...

Both Ranbir and Alia heard the narration and are excited to come on board as the lead pair. Alia has already signed the film while Ranbir too is expected to follow the same soon.

The shoot is expected to commence around November this year. ## Meanwhile, before starting SLB's love story, Ranbir will wrap director Nitesh Tiwari's magnum opus "Ramayana" which goes on the floor in March this year.
