Fighter

I rated this movie 5 out of 10 because

Scenes copied from the movie Top Gun Maverick .

First half is good & intresting but second half is so boring & irritating .

Some scenes are good and interesting .

But

Unnecessary & irritating songs .

Unnecessary showing Hrithik Roshan's body .

Deepika Padukone role has no major contribution, it doesn't have the vibes. Same old type script for her.

Same Old Story .

Repeated stories in Bollywood movies .

Unnecessary Drama .

Boring movie .

Waste of Time .

Unnecessary and over emotional about nation .

Terrorist are more powerful than Army it's a joke 🤣

Bad story line .

Okay okay movie .

The movie disappoints on multiple fronts, starting with unnecessary romance shoehorned into the narrative, distracting from the supposed focus on the fighter pilot storyline. The bad acting further exacerbates the film's shortcomings, with performances that fail to convey the intensity and authenticity expected from such a genre.

Plot holes abound, creating a disjointed viewing experience that leaves the audience questioning the coherence of the storyline. The movie leans heavily on clichés, offering nothing fresh or original, making it feel like a recycled and uninspired attempt within the Indo-Pak war genre.

Pilots consistently disobeying their commanding officer throughout the film not only strains believability but also undermines the credibility of the characters. Lastly, some of the film's scenes blatantly resemble to Top Gun comes across as a cheap imitation, ultimately leaving viewers longing for the authenticity and originality found in the iconic predecessor.

No complain on acting but storyline of movie is disappointing. It doesn't feel connected. Climax is average.

Emotion, comedy, actions are not great. In some placed movie tried to put emotions, but it doesn't stick. It just passes through without any realization. After some time, it feels bore. You will not feel sad if someone dies.

Deepika Padukone role has no major contribution, it doesn't have the vibes. Same old type script for her.

Hrithik has major role and total focus was on him. Still, dialogue, story let him down.

Acting of villain is just sufficient.

Songs are ok. Just fill the movie.

Movie is just one time watch without much expectations.

Can't remember the last time I watched a Bollywood movie that focused solely on Indian Air Force. This Siddharth Anand's film surely falls in that category.

India's best combat aviators join forces to form Air Dragons at Srinagar Airbase in attempt to deny their notorious neighbor Pakistan who along with a terrorist group are planning yet another attack on Indian military bases.

Visual effects in this movie are above Bollywood standards with scenes of Sukhoi and Dhruv flying are treat to watch.

Casting team too did their part as one cannot think of anyone better than Hrithik and Deepika leading a pack of Aviators.

Surely a must watch that too in theater.

First half has superb dog fight sequences but whose effects are marred by unnecessary songs, irritating characters and a villain who evokes laughter with his Tere Naam look. Hrithik is part time fighter pilot and part time planner of Balakot strikes, who has RAW level info, which he just divulges in front of top officers, probably for great appraisals.

If you have seen Animal and felt that its second half was pointless, this second half is set to lower the bar even further. There is unnecessary drama and futile attempts at reviving nationalist sentiments.

We were among the 12 persons in the matinee show here, at Gurgaon. I remember watching Pathaan by the same director, in a matinee show 10 days after its release and the hall was buzzing.

This will stream on Netflix by Feb end. Should be seen in the safety of your room, where it can be fast-forwarded at will.
