#Fighter: BRILLIANT.
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️½
#War. #Pathaan. Now #Fighter. Director #SiddharthAnand scores a hat-trick… Aerial combat, drama, emotions and patriotism, #Fighter is a KING-SIZED ENTERTAINER, with #HrithikRoshan’s bravura act as the topping… JUST DON’T MISS IT. #FighterReview
#Fighter is a smartly-woven product that steers away from blatant jingoism, yet makes a solid statement as the drama unfolds… Well-mounted, with some awe-inspiring visuals, aerial combat portions, clap worthy dialogue and a terrific second half, #Fighter delivers what it promises: a larger-than-life big-screen experience… Most importantly, #Fighter is a fitting homage to those bravehearts who guard our nation selflessly.
#HrithikRoshan is, without doubt, the show stopper. He displays valour, restraint and rage with incredible honesty. He owns every sequence he appears in, makes every moment come alive with a stellar act… #DeepikaPadukone is top notch, handling the demanding part with flourish. The on-screen pairing [#HrithikRoshan – #DeepikaPadukone] gives the film that extra sheen.
#AnilKapoor is flawless, as always. Excels in several sequences… The supporting cast is just perfect: #KaranSinghGrover is first-rate, while #AkshayOberoi is wonderful… #RishabhSawhney, the antagonist, is menacing to the hilt.”
