Movie trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6amIq_mP4xM
It seems the average movie-goer is much more patriotic than Hollywood seems to believe.
Few other reasons would explain the phenomenal box-office success of the Bollywood film “The Fighter,” which was released on Thursday, coinciding with India’s Republic Day on Friday.
Directed by successful Bollywood director Siddharth Anand and starring famous Bollywood actors Hrithik Roshan, Deepika Padukone and Anil Kapoor, Variety reported that the film, which “revolves around the Indian Air Force,” achieved a worldwide gross revenue of $25.1 million it’s opening weekend.
Of that $25.1 million, Variety reported that $20.8 million of that gross came from the international (i.e., not North American) box office, while in North America the film made $4.3 million its opening weekend.
According to a report in Forbes, “glimpses of Hollywood’s ‘Top Gun’ are quite clear in ‘Fighter.’ The Hindi film does not make futile attempts at recreating a foreign issue or scenario — it sticks to the Indian territory. There are direct references to the Balakot air strike, Pulwama terror attack and a few other terror and counter-terror attacks that took place in 2019 between India and Pakistan.”

Top Gun meets Rambo meets Bollywood. lol. Not a bad trailer at all. I’ll watch it when I can find it.
Interesting twist, the Paki’s aka bad guys are in F-16s while the Indians are in Russian jets.
I KNEW there was going to be a choreographed dance in there, somewhere!!!
Which is historically accurate.
Dang this looks epic AND hilarious. I might be a full six pack and some pizza to watch this. 😂😂
His callsign is “Patty”?
Why not “Peggy”?
Looks like top gun and wambo .....with crap CGI
So, do we get to see her jammu? Is that like showing us her Klimpt?
Indian movie, so no.
They are US 1950’s-ish on that stuff. And good for them.
They take the slow motion hero walk way too seriously.
it seems films about flyers and their planes have a universal appeal.
Interesting trailer.
I love the anti-Pakistan theme, but then regret how the idiot George W. Bush could and should have used 9/11 to remove all nukes from that terrorist state, but too busy fellating his boyfriend Musharraf to realize how he was being played.
Those fighter pilots in India must get paid very well given how massive their houses are!
“I KNEW there was going to be a choreographed dance in there, somewhere!!!”
If they did a ripoff of The Exorcist, there would be a dance scene.
