Happy Fighter Release Day! I am SO EXCITED! I’m also still a little sick but hoping I can power through (and I will be wearing a mask because I am a good person).
What we know for sure about Fighter is that it will have airplanes, and also dancing. But will it attempt to compete with the Greatest Flight/Dance Stunt of All Time? Probably not, because even Sidharth Anand would not expect us to believe it.
You know Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers? Their first movie together they were the comic relief characters, two broadway dancers brought in to spice up a movie about a bandleader who falls in love with an heiress in Brazil. The only reason this minor movie is now remembered is because it was Fred and Ginger’s first movie together. And for the moment when the director went “No one really knows how airplanes or dancers work, let’s do something CRAZY!”
I will be SO HAPPY if I am proved wrong. If Hrithik leads a massive troupe of dancers in a midair dance sequence, my life will be made.
Additional questions I look forward to having answered:
Who Will Have the Most Chemistry? Hrithik-Dips, Hrithik-Anil, Dips-Anil? Currently guessing, Hrithik-Anil.
Will Hrithik be playing half his age, Mohenjo Daro Style? I really really hope not! Sounds like it’s gonna be a “learning to fly going through flight school” story, but Hrithik could be, like, an older gentleman trying to achieve his dreams late in life?
Who will be the villain? Just occurred to me, we only have those three cast members promoted, right? So either the villain is Their Own Cockiness like in Top Gun, or it’s Anil Kapoor. I would be okay either way.
