Plot edit

A young boy has an altercation with his father which results in the boy leaving the village of Satara, India. He encounters several members of a gang and a fight ensues, in which he impresses the gang's boss and is admitted into the gang. The boy is convinced to sell drugs, under the impression that he is selling Ayurvedic medicine (i.e.: traditional Hindu medicine). A boxing coach catches the attention of the young boy and attempts to train him to become a boxing champion.

Controversies edit

Followers of Udyanraje Bhosale objected to the use of the dialogue "साताऱ्यात माझंच चालतं" (I rule Satara) in the movie.[8][9] The dialogue went viral and was featured on prominent news channels across Maharashtra.[10] The vehicles of "Figght" crew members were damaged while on a promotional tour across Satara[11][12] and posters were torn by protesters.[13] Three protesters who were responsible for damaging vehicles and public property were arrested by the Satara Police.[14][15] As the protest grew, the crew and director had to intervene.[16] Jimmy Moray, director of Figght, stated that the movie is not against Udyanraje Bhosale and that the dialogue is an integral part of the story.[17][18][19][20][21]
