Exclusive! Fighter Box Office Prediction: Hrithik Roshan-Deepika Padukone's Film Might Open To THIS Number

Fighter Box Office: 2024 didn't start on a great note for Bollywood as the first release of the year Merry Christmas starring Katrina Kaif and Vijay Sethupathi failed to make a mark at the box office. Now, the next biggie to release this year is Siddharth Anand's Fighter which stars Hrithik Roshan, Deepika Padukone, and Anil Kapoor in the lead roles. The film is all set to release on 25th January 2024, and will be getting a four-day weekend as on 26th January it is a National holiday.

Filmibeat recently spoke to producer and film business expert Girish Johar about the film's buzz and what could be the opening day collection. When asked about the film's buzz, he stated, "Buzz is decentish to goodish, nothing extraordinary like it should have been for a Hrithik Roshan, Deepika Padukone, Anil Kapoor, and Siddharth Anand film. But, still I believe that it's a four-day weekend, they are releasing on a non-holiday weekend which is a Thursday and then they have a long weekend ahead, so I am quite optimistic about the film."

Merry Christmas couldn't do well at the box office, so do you think Bollywood needs a boost with Fighter, "Yes, it's very critical, so that the churn continues."

Talking about advance booking, Johar said, "Advance bookings once again is decentish to goodish. I would be happy if the film opens anywhere around Rs. 30 crore mark on its day one because that gives it a firm footing for a strong weekend ahead. I believe that the start probably maybe slow than expected, but evening onwards, and then Friday, Saturday, Sunday, it has good chances to pick it up provided the word of mouth is positive and audiences are getting what they are expecting."

"One thing I would like to add is that I feel personally that the music is below par and has not been able to generate that excitement among the audiences. On paper, Hrithik and Deepika are like wild fire, so I am assuming that once the film releases, the music adds and tier 2, 3, and 4 audiences also start liking the film."

So, are you excited for Fighter?
