Fighter Box Office Collection Day 11: Hrithik’s Film To Stay Steady In 2nd Weekend As It Moves Towards 165Cr

Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone made headlines ever since there were reports about them collaborating for the first time. The duo collaborated for Siddharth Anand's Fighter recently and the audience has been in absolute awe of their onscreen chemistry. The aerial action drama featured Deepika and Hrithik in the role of Indian Air Force Officers along with Anil Kapoor, Karan Singh Grover and Akshaye Oberoi.

While Fighter was one of the most anticipated movies of the year, it witnessed a decent start at the box office with a collection of Rs 22.5 crores on the day of release. However it witnessed a significant drop in collections after an impressive opening weekend and was seen struggling at the box office. In fact, Fighter was finding it difficult to cross Rs 10 crores mark at the box office in the first week.

Interestingly, the second weekend came as a relief for the film as it saw a significant jump in collections. According to a report published in Sacnilk, Fighter saw a growth of 82% and minted Rs 10.5 crores at the box office on day 10 (second Saturday) and it took the overall collection of the movie to Rs 162.75 crores.

Given the trends, Fighter is expected to remain steady on day 11 (second Sunday) and is expected to earn Rs 5-8 crores today. With Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon's Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya hitting the screens on February 9, it will be interesting to see if Fighter will cross the Rs 200 crore mark in the coming week.

Meanwhile, as Hrithik has collaborated with Deepika for the first time in Fighter, he has been all praises for the actress. Talking to ANI he said, "With Deepika, it became really easy because she brings realism in her work, so I was consciously just bouncing off her bat; each line she says is coming from a deep place, and I could tell this is real, and if I don't maintain that I might look like I am overdoing things so I had to make sure I am acting that frequency and thanks to her every scene between Patty and Minni look so extremely vulnerable, extremely endearing and very very real".
