In his review for NDTV, film criticSaibal Chatterjeegave the film 2.5 stars and said, “Fighteris also a story of enduring camaraderie between Shamsher and his Air Force Academy batchmate Sartaj Gill (Karan Singh Grover). The relationship between the two fighter pilots and between Shamsher and Sartaj’s wife Saanchi (Sanjeeda Sheikh) lays the foundation for the climax of the film. However, the bromance is a largely one-man affair.”

“Fighteris Hrithik Roshan’s film and the screenplay never lets him out of sight. The muted romance that blossoms between the hero and Minal is set against the background of a tragedy. It providesFightera few of its more convincing moments because the exchanges between the two are allowed some breathing spaces,” Saibal Chatterjee added.
