For the uninitiated, ‘Fighter’ had opened to a collection of Rs 24.60 crore, and on Republic Day, the film made more than Rs 40 crore.
‘Fighter’ has now become Hrithik Roshan's seventh film to go past the Rs 100 crore mark in India. ‘Fighter’ is Deepika Padukone's third consecutive film to go past the Rs 100 crore mark after ‘Pathaan’ and ‘Jawan’.
The new Hindi movie is also Anil Kapoor's second consecutive movie to go past the Rs 100 crore mark after ‘Animal’.
Now, it remains to be seen how much ‘Fighter’ ends up making on Monday. ‘Fighter’ needs to pass the crucial Monday test, if it wants to go past the Rs 300 crore mark in India.
