In total, the movie has accumulated ₹151.85 crore, the report added. Fans, including us, loved Hrithik Roshan in the role of Squadron Leader Shamsher Pathania, aka Patty, and Deepika Padukone as Squadron Leader Minal Rathore, aka Mini, in the movie. 

In a BTS video dropped by the makers ahead of Fighter's release, Deepika Padukone can be heard sharing her thoughts on the film. The actress said, “There is patriotism but it's also entertaining. There is drama. It's funny. There is romance, adrenaline. So it just feels like a wholesome entertainer. If I had to summarise it in one word, just ‘absolute.'”

In the same video, Anil Kapoor, who portrayed the character of Group Captain Rakesh Jai Singh in Fighter, expressed, “The whole approach of the detailing and the performances and the pitching of the film is very very mainstream but very real. You know these kinds of films have longer legs.”
