Fighter (2024)
One of the best Bollywood Action Movie in recent years
If you have watched Pathaan, Jawan, Tiger 3, KGF and so on please don't expect such silliness here. This movie is far more practical and believable, the story, the aerial action, dog fights, the war tactics, none of it sounds or feels absurd. The pace of this movie is just right, keeps you entertained enough with the action as well as the character story building. There couldn't be a more perfect casting. Anil Kapoor is stellar, please give him the Best Supporting Actor, he totally deserves it. Hrithik, Deepika and other cast members hold onto their characters so well (no overacting whatsoever).
People who compare it to Top Gun, I don't understand your western fascination, but this movie did excellent on a much smaller budget. Yes, there are some similarities, but it's so minor and doesn't deserve the hatred it gets. Top Gun and Top Gun Maverick is about fighter pilots and delves into the deeper physics of experiencing G Force, training, mission and team dynamics. This movie isn't so much technical, yet still it's so much more.
This movie is theater worthy.
Great story and characters,
Wonderful acting,
Amazing stunts/action,
Awesome songs,
The villains are spectacular (and not stupid like most other movies.)
Last 15-20 minutes is very typical "bollywood masala".
Excellent movie by Siddharth Anand.

Even the silent scenes have a lot to say...
I am a movie buff and I rarely review movies or anything at all. But movies like these make me step out of my zone to support what this film portrays. I literally created an IMDB account just to review this movie, that should say enough.
The plot starts right off from the first scene without any story build up or anything. The bluntness and the intense emotion that are displayed by the lead actress (Frances McDormand) are really what carry the movie. Her agenda to wake people from her town and stand her ground against all odds is the true essence of this film. Watching her holding it together and staying strong just invokes emotions among the viewers. The bluntness and timing of the situations gives it some light comical moments. The movie has several moments of sunshine where you just feel some intense emotions while never losing the pace and the plot.
I could go on and on about this, but all I will say is this movie is worth a watch and deserves a lot of credit and recognition.
Highly recommended!!!
