The film opened with a decent collection of Rs 24.60 crore, followed by a whopping Rs 41.2 crore on Day 2. As per trade analyst Taran Adarsh, Fighter recorded nearly 29 percent occupancy on Saturday.

The film is all set to enter the Rs 100 club at the domestic box office, with its total collections now standing at Rs 93.40 crore.

According to reports, Fighter is performing well despite its two major limitations: firstly, the film has been banned in Gulf countries, and secondly, it has not been released in any regional languages.

In addition to the leads, Fighter also stars Anil Kapoor, Karan Singh Grover, Akshay Oberoi, Sanjeeda Sheikh, Talat Aziz, Sanjeev Jaiswal, Rishabh Sawhney, and Ashutosh Rana in pivotal roles.
