The much-anticipated film 'Fighter' faced a setback at the box office, contrary to expectations. Despite initial positive reviews from some critics, the film failed to resonate with the audience. director siddharth anand, known for his success in action films, received criticism for the routine content and lack of innovation, especially considering the star power of hrithik roshan and deepika Padukone.
In a recent interview, siddharth anand provided an interesting explanation for the film's reception. He suggested that a significant portion of the indian audience, having never travelled by plane, found it challenging to understand a movie with an air Force background. He argued that the lack of familiarity with air travel might have contributed to the audience's difficulty in connecting with the film.
However, these comments from siddharth anand sparked a backlash on social media. netizens questioned why the director chose to make a film with a theme that he himself acknowledged the majority of the audience couldn't relate to. Criticism focused on the notion that blaming the audience for not understanding the film was not a fair response. Some argued that it was the responsibility of film makers to create content that could resonate with a diverse audience.
The director's comparison of understanding an air Force film to personal experiences with air travel faced scrutiny, with netizens pointing out the success of movies like 'Ghazi,' which dealt with submarines. Overall, the online community expressed disappointment with siddharth Anand's rationale and called for more thoughtful storytelling rather than blaming the audience for the film's shortcomings.
