Hrithik Roshan's aerial action thriller, "Fighter," directed by Siddharth Anand, faces a bumpy takeoff in its first installment. Despite Roshan's charismatic performance, the film struggles with a flat trajectory, clichéd storyline, and jingoistic elements. Deepika Padukone adds star power, but the film feels vacuous and vapid. Anil Kapoor's restrained act adds gravitas, yet a more formidable villain is missed. While watchable, "Fighter" could have soared higher with less predictability and more imagination. Mixed reviews highlight the film's challenges in delivering exceptional originality and freshness.
