Key opinion
Fighter is a visually ambitious aerial action film that relies heavily on patriotic fervor and high-production spectacle. While performances from the lead cast are widely praised, the film is polarized by its reliance on nationalist tropes and a narrative structure that many critics find secondary to its visual effects.
| Acting | Hrithik Roshan delivers a physically impressive and multifaceted performance that anchors the film's dramatic stakes. | |
| Cinematography | The aerial action sequences and VFX create a compelling big-screen spectacle, though consistency wanes by the final act. | |
| Screenplay | The screenplay leans heavily into aggressive nationalist rhetoric and simplistic, generic tropes that often overshadow character development. | |
| Runtime | The film's three-hour runtime is a point of contention; some find the emotional arcs engaging, while others argue the thin plot makes the length feel like an extended trailer. |
