As “Hrithik-Deepika Fighter” hit the OTT, we were ready to buckle up for a wild ride, but unfortunately, it turned out to be more of a bumpy road trip than an exhilarating adventure. Here’s why this film just didn’t take flight:
1. Tired Over-exploited Plot:
We’re all for a good rivalry story, but “Fighter” feels like we’ve been there, done that, and bought the boring t-shirt. It’s stuck in the rut of tired old Indian-Pakistan rivalry tropes, desperately lacking the innovation and freshness we crave.
2. Snooze-Worthy Screenplay:
If you’re not a die-hard Hrithik Roshan fan or obsessed with Bollywood’s war film formula, “Fighter” is like a one-way ticket to Snoozeville. The excitement level? About as high as a deflated balloon. It’s a yawn-fest that left us checking our watch every five minutes. The screenplay feels like it’s on autopilot, lacking the punchy scenes and gripping action sequences that keep us glued to the screen.
3. Slow Burn, Not in a Good Way:
You know that feeling when you’re waiting for something epic to happen, but it feels like you’re stuck in slow motion? Yeah, that’s pretty much the vibe with “Hrithik-Deepika Fighter.” The pacing is so sluggish, it’s like trying to sprint through quicksand.
4. Unrealistic Hero:
Sure, we love a good hero, but “Fighter” takes it to a whole new level of “yeah, right.” The male protagonist’s journey from daredevil pilot to dance-floor dynamo to lady’s charmer feels about as believable as a unicorn sighting. It’s like they forgot to create a character that could feel like a real human rather than a superhero, leaving us feeling disconnected and uninvested.
5. Deepika’s Wasted Potential:
With Deepika Padukone on board, we were expecting fireworks. Instead, her talent feels like it’s been locked away in a dusty old attic. The film fails to give her character any real substance, leaving us wondering why they bothered casting her in the first place.
6. Anil Kapoor – Another Wasted Talent:
We all know Anil Kapoor brings his A-game to every role, but in “Fighter,” it’s like his talent got lost in the clouds. His character feels like an afterthought, relegated to the sidelines while the main plot flounders.
7. Where Are the Punchlines & Good Dialogues?:
Remember those iconic war movie dialogues (like Border) that give you chills every time? Yeah, “Fighter” doesn’t have those. Instead of hard-hitting lines that stick with you long after the credits roll, we’re left with a forgettable script that’s about as impactful as a feather pillow.
So, there you have it, folks. “Hrithik-Deepika Fighter” might have had the potential to soar, but instead, it crash-landed in a heap of clichés and missed opportunities. Here’s hoping the next Bollywood blockbuster brings the fireworks we’ve been waiting for.
