Fighter Review
Shomini Sen writes in her review, ''The film heavily depends on VFX throughout and it does not disappoint. Sure, some shots remind you of the Top Gun series (possibly the best film on fighter jets and pilots) with the way the stunts are performed and even some of the plot points but the writers then Indianise the narrative to a great extent, slipping in a word of gender equality, patriarchy and more. These points may seem slightly unnecessary when there is an impending threat from the enemy but Fighter only touches the tip of every issue and doesn't delve deeper.''
''Fighter isn't extraordinary in any way but still enjoyable. You know how the story will pan out from the beginning, but you still indulge the makers. Hrithik and Deepika look great, the VFX is praiseworthy and it makes for a good Republic Day watch.'' Read the full review here.
