Fighter - DEAD Even Before Take Off
Despite the film's great anticipation, bookings are exceedingly low. Fighter's launch is expected to be a massive disappointment, with over 75,000 tickets sold in national chains before tuesday midnight. Forget Jawan and Pathaan; pre-sales are far lower than even Dunki, which was released in a clash and was a drama picture. Poor music, a lack of advertisements, and a trailer with mixed reviews, including some criticism for its jingoistic tone, are all blamed for the low pre-sales.
Initially envisioned as a 50 crore opening, Fighter's current view indicates that the trade will consider Rs. 25 crore a respectable milestone. 30 crore opening seemed out of grasp. Based on current bookings, the film might earn 22-23 crores net on its first day. With a large budget of 250 crores, the film's success is dependent on a consistent and profitable run at the box office. As fighter takes flight, the industry excitedly anticipates its path through the dramatic skies of 2024.
