India’s answer to Top Gun is quite the ride.
Top Gun meets Bollywood in Hrithik Roshan’s action-packed blockbuster Fighter, which follows a group of Air Force pilots (the Air Dragons) tasked with preventing a terrorist attack in Srinagar Valley.
Directed and co-written by Siddharth Anand, the film marks his fourth collaboration with Roshan, who plays top pilot Patty. The pair worked together on 2014’s Bang Bang, 2019 War’s and Bollywood’s remake of the Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz-starring Knight And Day.
Roshan’s Patty is joined by his fellow Air Dragons, who are just as committed to the Indian Air Force, including Deepika Padukone as Squadron Leader Minni and Anil Kapoor as Group Captain Rakesh Jai Singh.
