Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone starrer ‘Fighter’ is set to hit the screens on January 25, marking Hrithik’s 16th film release around the Republic Day weekend. The anticipation around the movie’s box office performance has reached a fever pitch, with expectations of breaking existing records. As ‘Fighter’ gears up for its release, Hrithik Roshan aims to make a significant impact on the box office, eyeing various milestones and records set by previous Republic Day releases.

Republic Day Releases Over the Years:

The Republic Day weekend has historically been a lucrative period for Bollywood releases, attracting audiences with a diverse range of films. From Aamir Khan Productions’ ‘Dhobi Ghat’ in 2011 to the recent ‘Pathaan’ in 2023, the last 13 years have witnessed 15 releases attempting to capitalize on the holiday weekend. This includes Hrithik Roshan’s first Republic Day release, ‘Agneepath,’ in 2012, and Deepika Padukone’s ‘Race 2’ in 2013.

Box Office Potential:

The Republic Day weekend has proven to be a favorable time for box office success, with the 15 films collectively amassing a staggering 1919 crore. With ‘Fighter’ eyeing a target of 300 – 400 crore, the total Republic Day box office could potentially soar to an impressive 2300 crore this year. However, Hrithik Roshan faces the challenge of breaking records set by Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Pathaan,’ which amassed 543.22 crore in its lifetime and opened at 55 crore.

Record-Breaking Targets for ‘Fighter’:

1. Surpassing ‘Padmaavat’s Record: The second-highest-grossing Republic Day film in the last 13 years is ‘Padmaavat,’ collecting 300 crore. ‘Fighter’ aims to surpass this benchmark, setting the stage for a new record.
2. Securing the Second-Biggest Opening: After ‘Pathaan’s 55 crore, the second-biggest opening on Republic Day is ‘Padmaavat’ with 24 crore. ‘Fighter’ targets an easy victory by surpassing this opening figure.
3. Dominating the Second-Biggest Weekend: Following ‘Pathaan’s 166 crore, ‘Padmaavat’ holds the second-biggest Republic Day weekend record with 114 crore. ‘Fighter’ aims to make a mark by surpassing this weekend collection.
4. Conquering the Highest Monday Record: ‘Pathaan’ holds the record for the highest Monday collection, contributing 25.50 crore on the sixth day of its release. ‘Fighter’ eyes this Monday record as a potential milestone.
5. Global Recognition with Overseas Success: While ‘Pathaan’ holds the crown for the highest-grossing Republic Day film worldwide with 1069 crore, ‘Fighter’ sets its sights on ‘Padmaavat’s’ 560 crore worldwide, aiming for the second spot in the list of highest-grossing films released on Republic Day globally.

As ‘Fighter’ prepares for its Republic Day release, the expectations and aspirations for box office success have reached new heights. Hrithik Roshan’s ambitious goals to break records and make a significant impact on the box office landscape showcase the anticipation surrounding the film. The coming days will reveal whether ‘Fighter’ can emerge victorious, setting new benchmarks and etching its name in the annals of Republic Day releases. As audiences eagerly await the cinematic spectacle, the box office performance of ‘Fighter’ promises to be a riveting chapter in Bollywood’s Republic Day legacy.
