    Summary

    Reviewers say 'Fighter' offers thrilling action, impressive aerial scenes, and strong performances by Hrithik Roshan, Deepika Padukone, and Anil Kapoor. The film's technical aspects, including VFX and cinematography, are praised. However, criticisms include a predictable plot, lack of emotional depth, and a weak antagonist. Some find it overly patriotic with cringe-worthy dialogues and unnecessary subplots. Pacing and editing issues are noted, though some appreciate its entertainment value and portrayal of the Indian Air Force.

    Don't expect Top Gun and you won't be disappointed

    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.

    Would have been good if true story of Pulwama was portrayed.

    Till interval it resonated as if it's a story based on pulwama attack. However, after interval movie went in different direction and lost the control. Few things I don't understand -

    1. Why love story and all? Was it required? Unwanted bollywood masala.

    2. When pakistan fully imposed no fly zone and you guys shown that india used passenger plane as proxy to enter enemy airspace, what about the chopper's? How did they enter no fly zone without proxy? Such a big blunder in script.

    3. Even after air strike twice the terrorist doesn't die... Come on, be practical. Is that possible.. You have shown terrorists are more powerful and trained that Indian Army.

    4. Anil Kapoor, who was best pilot whole movie was sitting back and screaming at last..

    Such a bad script.. Waste direction.

    Bollywood is waste... I had high hopes..

    An average movie with same old story

    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.

    Started good but took a nose dive at the end

    May be if the movie came 5 years ago might be really good. But after watching uri and other really good armed forces movie , man this movie just average . Acting was good and photography was good to but not that much on story .little sloppy on screenplay . Except for the first song rest of them were really misplaced . Even if they removed the songs wouldn't bad. Hrithik was good and did hold up his own , but might not be right role for him. Rest of cast did good and were apt . Villan was good looking but man had a single line dialogue. Should have more . One time watch that too if you hardcore fan of Hrithik .

    Bad direction, plot and acting is a combo I wasn't expecting

    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.
