Imagine, the film ticks all the boxes, from star names and director credentials to tremendous critical acclaim and positive audience feedback. However, the decline in numbers in India comes as a complete surprise. Facing a setback at the beginning of the year is really worrying,” Taran Adarsh posted.
He continued: “That said, while numbers are trending downward in India, business in key international markets continues to be strong, even on weekdays.

He is not the only expert surprised by the mediocre figures of the first big film of the year. “It’s disappointing to see Fighter fall on Monday. This is a movie that deserved to be a success. I am surprised that the public did not intervene, even though Friday was especially good,” wrote trade analyst Joginder Tuteja – read the full article by him here:
