Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone's most awaited movie 'Fighter' hit the theatres on Thursday. The film directed by Siddharth Anand also stars Anil Kapoor, Karan Singh Grover, Akshay Oberoi, and Sanjeeda Sheikh. The makers hosted a special screening of the film on Thursday for members of the film industry. Bipasha Basu also arrived for the screening to cheer for her husband Karan Singh Grover.

Sharing a picture with her husband who played an IAF officer in the movie 'Fighter', Bipasha Basu penned her thoughts on the film. "Fighter. What a film (heart-eye emoji) Patriotism plus a visual delight plus great characters plus emotions galore. Just fabulous. Loveddddd every bit of the film. And yes …Taj @iamksgofficial was awesome and so endearing. "

"@s1danand you are at the top of your game sir. @mamtaanand10_10 terrific job as a producer. You go girl. So proud of you all. Can't wait to watch it again," she added.

On Thursday morning, lead actor Hrithik Roshan's proud father Rakesh Roshan took to social media to share his view on the film. Sharing a poster of 'Fighter', Rakesh Roshan wrote, "Watched…
Fighter the best
Hrithik the best
Deepika the best
Anil the best
Sid the bestest".

Meanwhile, talking about the opening day box office collection of the film, 'Fighter' earned Rs 24.6 crore. The film is likely to pick up pace on Friday which is a public holiday and the weekend.

Trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to X (formerly Twitter) to share the box office report of Fighter. "After an ordinary/average start in morning and noon shows, #Fighter picked up pace post 5 pm onwards on Day 1 [working day before the big holiday]… Agree, the biggie should've targeted a higher number on its opening day, but the good news is that the audience feedback is excellent and that should translate into big numbers today [Day 2; #RepublicDay holiday]."

He added, "Fighter has performed best at major centres on Day 1, but biz is not in sync with the merits of the film in mass circuits… However, the mass pockets should come on board today [#RepublicDay holiday] and if it continues the momentum on Sat and Sun, a healthy 'extended weekend' total will be on the cards".

'Fighter' is produced by Viacom18 Studios in collaboration with Marflix Pictures. It is billed as a tribute to the valour, sacrifice and patriotism of the Indian armed forces.
