Fighter movie Box Office Collection Day 6: A Paradoxical Performance

The performance of the movie Fighter movie at the box office has been a paradoxical one, as noted by trade analyst Taran Adarsh. While the film, featuring Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone as air force officers, has witnessed a sharp decline in domestic box office numbers, it has been performing well overseas. Countries like the USA, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand have shown strong weekday figures following an excellent weekend.

The domestic box office collection of Fighter stands at ₹134 crore after six days, according to Sacnilk. However, the film’s daily collections have fallen to single digits this week, with ₹8 crore on Monday and ₹7.5 crore on the following day, compared to Sunday’s total of ₹29 crore. The underperformance of Fighter in India has sent shock waves throughout the industry.

The markets in the USA, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand are still performing well. This paradoxical situation has left experts puzzled, with Taran Adarsh questioning how to explain this phenomenon.

It’s disappointing to see #Fighter drop on Monday. This is a film that deserved to be a success. Surprised that audiences have not stepped in much, even though Friday was particularly good.

I thought word of mouth was positive and spreading well. Still trying to figure what…
