The largest blockbusters in Indian movie history over the previous few years have been directed by Siddharth Anand, including the record-breaking Pathaan last year. His prior projects with Hollywood actor Hrithik Roshan, Bang Bang (2014), Bollywood’s adaptation of Tom Cruise’s Knight and Day, and the action blockbuster War (2019), have all received positive reviews from critics and grossed well at the box office.

Therefore, it seems sense that Anand and Roshan are aware of what the public expects from them going into their third collaboration: spectacle, spectacle, and even more spectacle. And Roshan’s bobbing chest at every chance.

Fighter appears, at first glance, to be an obvious attempt to cash in on Top Gun: Maverick’s popularity. While Maverick made a concerted effort to appeal to a broad audience through its “insert your own enemy here” strategy, Fighter proudly displays its jingoistic patches on its jumpsuit.

Deepika Padukone and Roshan once again demonstrate why they are two of the biggest stars in Indian cinema.

The plot is straightforward: An evil terrorist organization, which you can tell is evil since its head has a red eye, is trying to generate trouble in Kashmir and is using the gullible Pakistani military to further its own objectives, which are, of course, to destroy the Indian armed forces. There are only our courageous pilots to stop them. Will their devotion to one another and love of their country come to the rescue? The solution is already known to you.

Fighter is not subtle. Though Hollywood hardly ever includes a moment when actors actually wave the American flag to emphasize a patriotic message, you might believe you’re accustomed to such overt displays of patriotism in action movies. Though some Western viewers may find the overtly patriotic content off-putting, it’s difficult not to be captivated by Fighter’s stars’ bold action and infectious charisma.

While Fighter is undoubtedly produced with the help and cooperation of the Indian Air Force, its budget is a small portion of that of its American counterpart. Top Gun: Maverick is renowned for placing its actors in the cockpits for select scenes. All of that doesn’t stop Anand from creating nail-biting dogfighting scenes that will have you on the edge of your seat; nonetheless, Fighter is more likely to remind you of Hot Shots’ ending than Maverick’s, which aimed for authenticity. Physics has been firmly removed from the discussion at this point.

The main actors’ performances will always determine how much fun you have with this kind of garbage, and Roshan and Deepika Padukone continue to show why they are among the biggest stars in Indian cinema with their smoldering looks, incredible dancing skills, and ability to capture the emotion of a scene even in the face of corny, over-the-top dialogue. With the help of seasoned actor Anil Kapoor (Slumdog Millionaire) and a thrilling dance routine over the end credits, you’ll leave the movie smiling, despite the lingering taste of sour nationalism.
