Another said, "I guess we saw a different movie. I¡¯ve seen it several times. The antagonists were terrorists. They drew a clear line that the terrorists were working outside the control of officials from Pakistan. (You¡¯re not taking the side of terrorists, I hope.)"

All About 'Fighter' Starring Hrithik Roshan And Deepika Padukone

The film, featuring Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone, hit screens on January 25.

The story of the movie centres around the Balakot airstrike executed by the Indian Armed Forces near the town of Balakot in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan.

This retaliatory airstrike targeted the purported largest camp of the terrorist organisation Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM). The military action was prompted by a terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir that resulted in the tragic deaths of nearly 40 CRPF soldiers.
