Fighter Box Office Collection Day 20: Hrithik-Deepika’s Film Holds Steady Ground As It Inches Close To 200Cr

Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone have left everyone in awe with their first collaboration. We are talking about Siddharth Anand's directorial Fighter which also featured Anil Kapoor, Karan Singh Grover and Akshaye Oberoi in the lead and was touted to be an aerial action drama. The movie featured the lead cast in the role of Indian Air Force Officers and opened to decent response from the audience.

The movie started the box office journey with Rs 22.5 crores and while it has been struggling during the weekdays, the weekends were a sigh of relief for the makers with growth in the numbers. In fact, Fighter managed to rake in Rs 196.9 crores after the third weekend. In fact according to a report published in Sacnilk, Fighter minted Rs 1.2 crores yesterday (day 19/ third Monday) which took the overall collection of the movie to Rs 198.1 crores.

It is evident that Fighter is maintaining a steady hold at the box office despite witnessing a competition from Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon starrer Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya. Given the trend, Fighter is expected to mint Rs 1 crore today (day 30/ third Tuesday) at the box office and inch closer to Rs 200 crores mark.

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".
