In theaters on January 25, the Indian film Fighter promises to be more than impressive. Sunsets on the tarmac, nervous spins and high-flying action sequences… Discover the trailer for the film which has nothing to envy of Top Gun: Maverick!
The most impressive action film since Top Gun: Maverick
Chaotic explosions, nervous chases between fighter planes, sublime sunsets on the immaculate tarmac… So many elements which will remind spectators of the beauty and power of Top Gun: Maverick, cinema event of the year 2022. Except that these images absolutely do not come from the last opus of the Top Gun saga, but from Fighter, the little bomb from the beginning of the year.
Far from suffering from the comparison with the Hollywood giant, fighter seems determined to match him in every aspect! As sublime as it is impressive, the trailer for this Indian film convinces in just a few seconds with the quality of its special effects, the choreography of its aerial clashes and the drama that emerges from its magnificent twilight shots.

A most ambitious production, far from the remake
Fighter tells the story of the talented Shashmer Pathania (Hrithik Roshan), an ambitious young pilot destined to become a hero of the Indian army. Conflicts of authority, rivalries, intensive training and the dangerous nature of his missions, Shashmer will face many obstacles before achieving his dream: being able to accomplish his duty for his country.

Fascinating cultural and political mirror of Top Gun: Maverick by Joseph Kosinski, Fighter is not a remake, far from it! Spectators will be able to appreciate a number of differences, particularly in the representation of strong female characters, relatively absent from the film led by Tom Cruise. Indeed, the brilliant Deepika Padukone, a major actress of contemporary Indian cinema and Louis Vuitton muse, plays the talented and endearing squadron captain Minni Rathore, who will not fail to become an icon for those who discover her on screen!

Written and imagined before the release of Maverick, Fighter saw its release repeatedly postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, delaying its launch to 2024. But for director Siddharth Anand, nominated three times at the Filmfare Awards ( prestigious Indian equivalent of the Oscars), the stakes are high!
Just one year after the immense critical and commercial success of his last film, Pathaan, which is among the ten biggest Indian hits of all time, Siddharth Anand seems ready to repeat the feat with Fighter. His new feature film is quite simply one of the most ambitious of all time for an Indian production, with an impressive budget of 250 crore, the equivalent of around 30 million dollars.
A real visual roller coaster to discover now in the cinema, but also in IMAX 3D and 4DX to multiply your sensations and join Shashmer Pathania and Minni Rathore directly in their high altitude missions!
