Fighter Full Movie Review:
In Short
- 'Fighter' stars Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone in lead roles
- It has been helmed by Siddharth Anand.
- Here's our take on the action-drama.
In 1986, a film about a pilot who is given a second chance to redeem himself took the world by storm. Tom Cruise’s Top Gun set the benchmark for what an aerial action film involving planes should look like. Many tried to duplicate the formula but nothing came close to the original, until 2022, when Cruise made a comeback in a refurbished version of the franchise.
Siddharth Anand’s Fighter takes several cues from Top Gun to lay the foundation for what becomes a pacy story about valour, patriotism and celebrating the birds in the sky that protect our country. It doesn’t hurt that the cast is led by two good-looking actors -- Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone. But do the actors deliver or does their vanity come in the way of making Fighter a bonafide action caper? Let's find out.
Every time a film shifts to Kashmir and the Indo-Pakistan conflict, there is a certain template that is set. Siddharth Anand follows the cue but adds dollops of glamour, high-octane action scenes and loads of patriotism with ‘Vande Mataram' and 'Jai Hind’ playing in the background.
Anand has a way of introducing his men in his movies. Be it the stylish entry scene of SRK in Pathaan or even back in the day, how Hrithik Roshan blazed on screen in Bang Bang and even War. But in Fighter, he tries something different. He gives Deepika Padukone’s Minni a stellar entry scene before he brings in the big gun -- Hrithik Roshan’s Patty.

Given the scale of the film, the director doesn’t rush into the big action scenes. He spends most of the first half introducing us to the Air Force pilots. Led by Rakesh Jaisingh aka Rocky (Anil Kapoor), the unit of Air Dragons comprises of Minni (Deepika Padukone), Patty (Hrithik Roshan), Taj (Karan Singh Grover) and Bash (Akshay Oberoi).
The first half has the right mix of emotion and action, but the second half nose dives before picking up just in time for the juicy climax. Deepika and Hrithik’s pairing is a winning master stroke. They not only look good as a pair, but also do justice to the characters when they are in uniform. There is a certain seriousness they bring to the table when they mean business. Anil Kapoor shows us why he’s the real boss. His scenes with Hrithik and the team are a major highlight.
Unlike the free spirit of Pathaan, Fighter feels a bit caught in its own web of trying to walk the thin line of being commercially viable without compromising on the integrity of its sentimental appeal. The scenes where we are given lessons on loving the nation or the wordplay that Patty indulges in get weary after a point. You want to see the birds in the sky but you need to be patient for those scenes.
Watching her and Hrithik flirt in the first half is pure thrill and so is their delicious dance in the air. Karan Singh Grover and Sanjeeda Shaikh provide the right support to these able front-footers. The weakest link however is the villain Azhar Akhtar, played by Rishabh Sawhney. His nearly ironed hair and lip-glossed pucker seem too pretty to be menacing.
Fighter is a big-screen spectacle. When those birds soar high in the air, there is nothing that can take your eyes off the screen. Hrithik and Deepika set the screen on fire and I won’t be surprised if they become the go-to pair for big-ticket movies in the future. Siddharth Anand’s Fighter soars high on the entertainment quotient.
