Fighter box office collection Day 3 - Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone's action extravaganza nears ₹100-crore mark

The film Fighter, starring Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone, has received rave reviews from viewers, critics, and fans alike. Even at the box office, the Siddharth Anand-directed film has been receiving a resounding response. The movie's box office receipts, which began at Rs 22.50 crore, gradually increased in comparison to its first day's sales. The movie reportedly made over Rs 28 crore on Saturday.

According to industry tracker Sacnilk, early estimates indicate that Fighter made 28 crores on the third day of business. On Friday, January 26, the movie—which also stars Anil Kapoor—raked in Rs 39 crore. As a result, the action drama's total revenue has reached Rs 90 crore and is very near to Rs 100 crore.

Fighter's occupancy rate rose from 17.06 percent for the morning shows to over 33.52 percent for the evening shows. In addition to Hrithik, Deepika, and Anil, the film also features Talat Aziz, Sanjeeda Shaikh, Karan Singh Grover, Akshay Oberoi, Pradum Shukla, and Pradum Jaykar in important roles.

The movie's surge at the box office on Republic Day may be explained by its widespread praise for its patriotic fervor. But as the weekend approaches, it appears that Fighter hasn't been able to maintain its momentum. However, Sunday is probably going to see a rise in its collection.

Watch Tejas, Expendables 4, Australian Open, Cubicles 3, and more on OTTplay, by subscribing to the Jhakaas monthly pack, which provides access to 22 OTTs at just ₹49 for the first month.

The film is billed as a tribute to the bravery, sacrifice, and patriotism of the Indian Air Force. Fighter's first-day earnings were ₹24.60.

The real test of Fighter will start on Monday, so it will be interesting to see if it can still have an effect after the weekend. With its long weekend of release, there were high expectations for the movie. Though the movie has been getting great reviews from audiences, it will be important to see if it continues to do well at the box office given the hype surrounding it.
