The short answer to the question in the headline is not exactly - Fighter, starring Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone, did not quite find its wings on take off yesterday. The long answer is that it did decently well for a week day opening  and has set up for a boost over the long weekend.

According to Box Office India and Sacnilk, the film made about Rs 22 crore at the domestic box office on its first day. Like the reviews Fighter has received, this is a middling figure for the year's first big budget release.

The first big film of the year could have opened better, per Box Office India which described the first day earnings as "decent" and revealed that much of Day 1's earnings came in the evening.
