'Fighter' audience reactions: Hrithik Roshan's latest movie Fighter hit theatres on Thursday, ahead of Republic Day 2024, amid much excitement among fans and moviegoers alike. Hours after the first day first shows of the film got over, moviegoers and Hrithik Roshan's fans shared their reactions regarding the same on X (previously known as Twitter).
Moviegoers and fans were wowed by Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone's respective performances in the film. They also backed director Siddharth Anand for delivering a "knockout combination of intense action, gripping storyline and stellar performances."
"Absolutely exhilirating! Fighter movie delivers a knockout combination of intense action, gripping storyline, and stellar performances. A must-watch movie (sic)," a user said on X. "Still can't get over the movie, Hrithik Roshan has hit it out of the park. Deepika is perfect for the role. The action scenes especially in the second half is spectacular. Must watch!!! B-L-O-C-K-B-U-S-T-E-R (sic)," a moviegoer said on X.
"Fighter is a solid action entertainer that packs in an emotional quotient unlike most commercial flicks. The antagonist and his one note portrayal is a stumbling block. Hrithik Roshan, however, is the real deal as Patty, assisted further by DP and Anil Kapoor! It's SO WORTH IT (sic)," YouTuber Anmol Jamwal wrote on X.
"#Fighter isn’t just an entertaining film; it's a GORGEOUS LOOKING PATRIOTIC FILM. Every frame looks cinematic and larger than life. Good use of VFX. The entry sequence of #HrithikRoshan & #DeepikaPadukone is just wow. Both lead actors charm you with their acting and screen presence. Full credit to the director. Fantastic BGM. Good story. Great presentation," a moviegoer noted.
Another user said: "Completed watching the Fighter movie. Best movie from Siddharth Anand. You just have to see this in theatres. Hrithik Roshan was, as usual, on another level. Deepika was amazing too, and everyone else killed it. Guys, go and enjoy!"
