Fighter box office: Hrithik, Deepika's film makes a comeback at the box office, earns Rs 3 billion globally

Just when trade pundits were about to write off Siddharth Anand's latest patriotic aerial action drama Fighter as a box office dud, the film made a remarkable comeback and earned Rs 3 billion globally.

The film has got some positive word-of-mouth publicity which has perhaps helped itto stay put in theatres despite mixed reviews. It now has crossed Rs 302 crores (Rs 3 billion) gross at the worldwide box office.

The film has crossed a worldwide box office number of Rs 3 billion and little over Rs 2 billion in India.

Fighter features Hrithik Roshan, Deepika Padukone, Anil Kapoor, Karan Singh Grover and Akshay Oberoi in key roles. The actors play fighter pilots employed with the Indian Air Force in the film.

Directed by Siddharth Anand and presented by Viacom18 Studios in association with Marflix Pictures, Fighter intertwines action and patriotic themes with the Balasor airstrike forming the backdrop of the story.
