'Fighter' Review: Hrithik Roshan, Deepika Padukone soar in this aerial actioner
Fighter Movie Review: Helmed by Siddharth Anand, 'Fighter' is an entertaining action-drama that has been made for the big screen. The film stars Deepika Padukone and Hrithik Roshan in lead roles.
If Rajkumar Hirani is the badshah of feel-good films and no one can match family dramas like Karan Johar, Siddharth Anand has carved a niche for himself with his larger-than-life, good-looking masala entertainers. With Fighter, that writing has taken a patriotic flavour. Every time a film shifts to Kashmir and the Indo-Pakistan conflict, there is a certain template that is set. Siddharth Anand follows the cue but adds dollops of glamour, high-octane action scenes and loads of patriotism with ‘Vande Mataram' and 'Jai Hind’ playing in the background.
Anand has a way of introducing his men in his movies. Be it the stylish entry scene of SRK in Pathaan or even back in the day, how Hrithik Roshan blazed on screen in Bang Bang and even War. But in Fighter, he tries something different. He gives Deepika Padukone’s Minni a stellar entry scene before he brings in the big gun -- Hrithik Roshan’s Patty. Given the scale of the film, the director doesn’t rush into the big action scenes. He spends most of the first half introducing us to the Air Force pilots. Led by Rakesh Jaisingh aka Rocky (Anil Kapoor), the unit of Air Dragons comprises of Minni (Deepika Padukone), Patty (Hrithik Roshan), Taj (Karan Singh Grover) and Bash (Akshay Oberoi).
The plot revolves around the Pulwama attack and incidents leading before and after the incident. In terms of storyline, Fighter flies high on the newfound love of filmmakers to weave in patriotic sentiment in a bonafide potboiler. The action scenes are the real hero of Fighter. Anand steers away from any Top Gun comparisons by creating an original palette for the big-ticket shots.
The first half has the right mix of emotion and action, but the second half nose dives before picking up just in time for the juicy climax. Deepika and Hrithik’s pairing is a winning master stroke. They not only look good as a pair, but also do justice to the characters when they are in uniform. There is a certain seriousness they bring to the table when they mean business. Anil Kapoor shows us why he’s the real boss. His scenes with Hrithik and the team are a major highlight.
Unlike the free spirit of Pathaan, Fighter feels a bit caught in its own web of trying to walk the thin line of being commercially viable without compromising on the integrity of its sentimental appeal. The scenes where we are given lessons on loving the nation or the wordplay that Patty indulges in get weary after a point. You want to see the birds in the sky but you need to be patient for those scenes.
What helps Fighter maintain its pace is the lead hero Hrithik Roshan, who reminds us what makes him a true-blue Bollywood superstar. His committment to making Patty’s journey feel personal is something the young blood should take a cue from. Deepika Padukone delivers in both the action and emotional scenes. Watching her and Hrithik flirt in the first half is pure thrill and so is their delicious dance in the air. Karan Singh Grover and Sanjeeda Shaikh provide the right support to these able front-footers. The weakest link however is the villain Azhar Akhtar, played by Rishabh Sawhney. His nearly ironed hair and lip-glossed pucker seem too pretty to be menacing.
Fighter is a big-screen spectacle. When those birds soar high in the air, there is nothing that can take your eyes off the screen. Hrithik and Deepika set the screen on fire and I won’t be surprised if they become the go-to pair for big-ticket movies in the future. Siddharth Anand’s Fighter soars high on the entertainment quotient.
