Fighter receives legal notice
Everyone loved the performances of the main actors, Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone. However, according to recent news in India Today, there was a kissing scene between Patty and Mini that seems to have offended an Air Force officer from Assam. Saumya Deep Das, the officer, believes that the kissing scene in uniform is disrespectful to the IAF.
The Indian Air Force officer further alleged that the portrayal of the kissing scene between Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone especially within the context of military attire is perceived as a disrespect to the honor and sanctity associated with the uniform. Hence, she has sent a legal notice to the makers of Fighter.
Siddharth Anand reflects on the underwhelming box-office performance of Fighter

The film hit theaters on January 25 (Thursday), and Anand acknowledged that the choice of a mid-week release posed challenges. He emphasized the need for filmmakers (including himself) to reevaluate their expectations, pointing out that delivering Pathaan just one year prior had likely heightened those expectations.
