Mixed Reactions to "Fighter": A Review Roundup
Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone in Fighter

Fighter, starring Hrithik Roshan, is an amazing film that explores the unique friendship and patriotism among a group of highly trained IAF aviators at Air Dragons. With scenes ranging from thrilling action sequences to supersonic fighter planes, the movie consistently raises the suspense and captivates the viewer. I thought Deepika Padukone's portrayal of Squadron Leader Minal was the most outstanding of all the characters. Her persona delicately captured the ongoing struggles that women have in a traditionally male-dominated field. It was enjoyable to see her captivating connection in the dancing moments beside Hrithik Roshan. He can effortlessly execute any dancing move with his amazing feet. Bravo to the ensemble of stars for a superb performance that was flawless throughout. In summary, it is a visually stimulating and respectable patriotic movie that is well worth seeing. (Fighter was good or bad for me depending on January 26.)

Fighter is a full-fledged family entertainment film that centers on an homage to the Air Force, which is why I like it. The star of the film, Hrithik Roshan, is at the peak of his abilities. Both Deepika Padukone and the other supporting cast members do well. Vishal-Shekhar's music is lively, with the standout track being Heer aasmani. Siddharth Anand is a very patriotic, fast-moving performer. A good one-time viewing.

To be honest, a film's ability to produce a lot of money at the box office and spark a passionate first-day buzz does not always indicate its quality. The majority of the 2023 blockbuster films had a phenomenal run, earning millions of dollars at the box office. Top Bollywood and south Indian stars had outstanding performances in all of the action scenes.

Some people were satisfied with Fighter since Hrithik and Deepika fulfilled their roles and gave their desired performances. Both the action sequences and the plot were realistic. The director, however, ought to have looked into the Pulwama and Balakot instances further.

Consequently, I must admit that, despite my admiration for Hrithik's fearless air combat scenes, I did not like Fighter. Once again, his acting prowess was put to the test, and he passed with flying colors.

Fighter is a very stunning and enjoyable movie with just the perfect amount of patriotic flair. The film is a real winner and pays tribute to the IAF members with its incredible aerial sequences, intense combat scenes, and throbbing background soundtrack. It is just the proper amount of dramatic without being too dramatic. Do we really need more when you have the ageless Greek God Hrithik Roshan, Deepika Padukone, an actress with a mission, and the eternal beauty Anil Kapoor?

Akshay Oberoi, Karan Singh Grover, Sanjeeda Shaikh, and our very own Ashutosh Rana provide wonderful support for the picture. Vishal-Shekhar deserves special recognition for the chic tunes. I'm sorry, Deepika, but the stylish Hrithik is the true show stopper. It is quite hard to look away from him. He is the true hero of Indian film, as shown by his amazing physique, captivating dancing routines, and strong body language. But at several moments, the speech in the movie might have been more sophisticated. All things considered, Fighter is a worthy homage to our armed services and the true Indian soldiers.

Fighter fell short of what I had expected. I adore the principal actors and went to the theater to see Hrithik and Deepika together, so I won't hurt anyone's feelings, but it is what it is. Romantic sequences or needless drama are not appropriate in a patriotic film. Although the background soundtrack was fantastic, the creators overused Bolly masala in an attempt to make it more marketable, which took away from the genre's and nationalism's main values. It was not an experience of fastening your seatbelt. But the second half—the last forty minutes in particular—was strong. I really believed that the essence we eventually discovered ought to have been there from the start. Hrithik Roshan's action scenes were seductive. In each sequence, Deepika Padukone was flawless. Notable were the performances of Akshay Oberoi and Karan Singh Grover. The finest part was when Minnie's father visits her and salutes her by shouting "Jai Hind." Seeing Hrithik and Deepika dance together in Sher khul gaye was such a joy. It was also admirable how the hymn Vande Mataram was used at the right places.

The airborne action film Fighter was enjoyable. First, the narrative itself, which is quite patriotic. I was very moved by the story. For Hrithik Roshan, second. He played one of his greatest performances to date as elite combat aviator Shamsher Pathania, also known as Patty, and he did a fantastic job. In this action movie, he is a pleasure to see. Third, for the breathtaking, heart-pounding sequences of aerial warfare. I was stunned by several scenes. Aside from this, the performances of Anil Kapoor and Deepika Padukone, the language, the conclusion, and the music all contributed to the amazing experience of viewing the film. I think this patriotic action drama, directed by Siddharth Anand, is the most enjoyable of the recent times. It is definitely an amazing homage to the Indian Air Force's unwavering and unflinching bravery.
