However, not all is smooth sailing for the film. Director Siddharth Anand recently found himself embroiled in a social media storm due to his unconventional claims regarding the film’s lackluster performance. In a recent interview, Anand attributed the struggle to connect with the Indian audience to the film’s unique setting in the world of aviation.
He stated, “Fighter is a huge leap. It’s a space that is unexplored and absolutely new for the Indian audience. If you realize, there is a huge percentage of our country… I would say 90% who have not flown in planes! Who has not been to an airport! So how do you expect them to know what’s happening in the air?”
Fighter movie's director says his film didn't do well because 90% of Indians hasn't experienced airports or air travel, so they couldn't relate to his film.

This unconventional rationale sparked a social media frenzy, with users taking a humorous approach to criticize the director.
As it is now, Fighter is gearing up for its second Monday, and all eyes are on how the film will continue to perform in its second week.
