I watched a movie last night, A Pigeon Sat On A Branch Reflecting On Existence. In the movies, almost every character keep repeating this line: "I'm happy to hear you're doing fine." What is the meaning of that? They are talking in a phone so I don't know who they talked to, but what is "doing fine"?

Definition of fine:




In good health and feeling well.




Example:




“I’m fine, just fine. And you?"




So, your example is another way of saying:




I'm happy to hear you're doing well.



I'm happy to hear you're doing good.




(Oxford Dictionaries Online)
