Fighter Box Office Collection Day 22 Updates! ( Photo Credit – T-Series / YouTube )
Huge expectations were shouldered on Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone led Fighter. The film chose the perfect release date, a day ahead of Republic Day. Siddharth Anand wore, the director’s hat, who is fresh from the blockbuster success of Shah Rukh Khan starrer Pathaan. Scroll below for exciting updates as the action drama has surpassed the earnings of 3 Idiots.
The action drama has references to the 2019 Pulwama attack, the 2019 Balakot airstrike, and the 2019 India–Pakistan border skirmishes. It evokes a sense of pride in every nationalist, which is why the Republic Day release made perfect sense. Unfortunately, the film received mixed responses, and the collections began dropping with each passing day. It is maintaining hold at the ticket windows but on the lower end.

Fighter Worldwide Box Office Updates! (Photo Credit – Facebook/IMDb)
Fighter marks the third collaboration between Siddharth Anand and Hrithik Roshan. The duo previously worked together on Bang Bang and War. With each new film, their box office association was expected to flourish. Unfortunately, that is not the case as their latest release couldn’t match the standards of their 2019 film. Scroll below for the latest worldwide updates!
Back in 2019, War also opened to mixed response from the critics. However, the action film starring Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff created havoc at the box office. It brought in collections of around 319 crores in the domestic market, and the worldwide earnings wrapped up around 475.62 crores gross. A similar graph was expected for Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone’s latest flick, but that is not the case.

Fighter Box Office Collection Day 7 Early Estimates! (Picture Credit: YouTube)
Fighter may be rising and shining overseas but is in turmoil at the domestic box office. The film, released on January 25, 2024, has crashed at the ticket windows since Monday. And the situation isn’t getting any better as the collections remain under the 10 crore mark. Day 7 is no different; scroll below for all the updates!
The action film started its theatrical journey on the wrong note. The pre-release strategies were weak, and there was little to no buzz among cine-goers. Word-of-mouth was also mixed, which affected footfalls despite little to no competition at the box office. There’s a freeway with no big release in the near future, but unfortunately, Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone‘s film will not be able to make the most of it.
Fighter Box Office Collection
In the first five days, Fighter has accumulated a sum of 131.10 crores.

Her girl-next-door avatar has always been a fan favourite and once again she will be seen playing a young middle-class woman opposite Vicky Kaushal in the forthcoming Laxman Utekar directorial ‘Zara Hatke Zara Bachke’.
When asked if she opts for such roles only to gain an edge over otrher actors, Sara Ali Khan said: “I don’t know if it’s about gaining an edge, but the truth is that I think I really relate very strongly with the pulse of my country.
“I have grown up thinking of myself as just another Indian desi girl from Juhu, who lives with her mama, and doesn’t really have any frills and fancies, and filmy friends, to be honest with you.

Bollywood A-lister Ajay Devgn returns to the director’s chair with “Bholaa,” in which he also stars alongside Tabu.
This is Devgn’s fourth directorial effort after “U Me Aur Hum” (2008), “Shivaay” (2016) and “Runway 34” (2022). A remake of 2019 Tamil-language hit “Kaithi,” “Bholaa” follows a prisoner who is going to meet his young daughter after being released from jail. However, he gets embroiled in an epic journey that sees him up against a drug cartel and helping the police.
“We are keeping the basic storyline similar, obviously that’s the reason you make a remake, because we like the storyline. We’ve altered a lot of characters, a little bit of the screenplay, and the characteristics of people. The drama has changed in a way, the emotions have changed – somewhere I would say enhanced, more underlined,” Devgn told Variety.
“Bholaa” will release in 3D, Imax and 4Dx versions worldwide. “It’s a big scale film,...

Tunisha Sharma, the 20-year-old TV actress from Chandigarh who committed suicide on Saturday afternoon by hanging herself from a ceiling fan in the makeup room of her rumoured boyfriend and co-star Sheezan Mohammed Khan in Vashi, Mumbai, made a positive impression on ‘Fitoor’ director Abhishek Kapoor.
Tunisha would have turned 21 on January 4. She played the female lead in the television soap ‘Alibaba: Dastan-e-Kabul’, where Sheezan Khan was her co-star.
The late budding star played the young Firdaus, the character essayed by Katrina Kaif, in the 2016 film. She was barely in her teens then. She played another Katrina Kaif character’s younger self in Karan Johar and Farhan Akhtar’s sci-fi romantic drama, ‘Baar Baar Dekho’.
Remembering her from ‘Fitoor’ (she was just 13 years old then), the film’s director, Abhishek Kapoor, wrote on Twitter to share his feelings: “Shocked and deeply saddened by the passing away of #tunishasharma. I worked with her on #fitoor.

Spoiler Alert for those who have not seen the film “Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui.”
Bollywood A-lister Ayushmann Khurrana headlines the cast of transgender-themed romance “Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui,” which is currently on release worldwide.
Across Indian cinema as a whole, trans characters have been portrayed sensitively as leads of films like “Daayra” (1996) “Tamanna” (1998), “Just Another Love Story” (2010), “Nanu Avanalla Avalu” (2015), “Njan Marykutty” (2018) and “Super Deluxe” (2019). However their representation in mainstream commercial Bollywood cinema veers between villainous characters, like Sadashiv Amrapurkar’s Maharani in “Sadak” (1991), and crude comedy parts. “Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui” is unique in that it brings a trans character to the fore in Bollywood.
Khurrana plays Manvinder Munjal, a macho gym instructor in the northern Indian city of Chandigarh, who is smitten with Maanvi Brar, a Zumba teacher who shares his work space. They consummate their relationship and decide to get married when Maanvi reveals that she used to be a...

Hindi-language romance Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui has been making a splash in India this week because its subject matter – the film is a romantic drama featuring a transgender lead character – is a first for the country.
The movie has received positive reviews and word of mouth is helping to build box office returns, which continue to be impacted by the pandemic, with some Indian states still restricting capacity.
Vaani Kapoor leads the film, alongside Ayushmann Khurrana, in a story following a bodybuilder (Khurrana) who falls in love with a Zumba teacher (Kapoor), unaware that the latter is transgender.
The Abhishek Kapoor-directed picture is receiving praise for presenting a progressive story in a country where the topic of being transgender is still largely taboo. Things may be changing for the better, however. Just last week, model Sruthy Sithara became the first Indian to win the Miss Trans Global pageant, and content...

Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui
Starring Ayushmann Khurrana, Vaani Kapoor
Directed by Abhishek Kapoor
The most modest praise for this wonderful film would be that it is by far the best post-Covid Hindi release. Which is not saying much, considering the abysmal near-unpalatable fare that Bollywood has been shamelessly shelling out since the Pandemic.
Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui is quite simply the film everyone must see. It tell us about tolerance, and acceptance without getting preachy and screechy. Director Abhishek Kapoor manages the near-miraculous feat of keeping the tone blithe and buoyant even when the going between the couple gets really rough.
There is a disarmingly fine-tuned moment of pathos running into humour without collision when the film’s lead pair has a showdown on the street of Chandigarh. Two cops, concerned about ‘Bahenji’ stop to inquire.
You have to see the rest of the sequence to know what fluent screenwriting is all about.

Mumbai, Feb 26: Bollywood buffs are in for a lot of fresh pairs on screen this year. After the nearly complete no-show in 2020, many films set for release this year feature actors who have never shared the screen before.
Casting director and filmmaker Mukesh Chhabra says that seeing different actors pair up on screen for the first time is always a treat. "People love to see anything that is out of the box. So this is why they love it when new actors work together. Also, actors, too, are experimenting and they love to try out something new. It gives a very fresh look on screen. If you team up actors who have worked with each other before, you feel like they have been seen together so many times," says Chhabra.
Trade analyst Taran Adarsh adds that this kind of pairing also brings in the numbers. "People are excited to see fresh pairings on screen.
