What the critics say
Audience Score · not yet · appears once three readers have written a review
Critics praise Fighter's aerial action, VFX and Hrithik Roshan's star power, but many call the villain weak, the plot predictable and Top Gun-derivative, and the patriotism heavy-handed, with the second half dragging.

How this number was made. We read every review and derive a 0–100 reading from each — including where the critic printed a number, which stays first on its row, because it’s theirs. The Filmi Score is the mean of 16 readings; 5 of those rows also carry the critic’s own rating, shown beside ours. Rubric v2.1, computed 26 Oct 2026. Any critic can ask us to remove a derived reading.
