Satyameva Jayate Box Office Collections Day 3: Regains Momentum Again On Friday.

Satyameva Jayate is one of two films that tried to cash in on the Independence Day holiday, with the other being Akshay Kumar’s Gold. And both films shared big pieces of the pie. Satyameva Jayate, starring John Abraham and Manoj Bajpayee, had a great start, earning Rs 20.52 crore, but saw a decline on the second day, taking home Rs 7.92 crore. Now, on the third day the film has picked up yet again and has minted Rs 9.18 crore.

While it is a given that the film would go past the 10 crore mark today, what has to be seen is whether the numbers are in the upwards of 12 crore. Once that happens, one can expect Sunday numbers to go past the 15 crore mark and that would make it a good winning situation for the Milap Zaveri directed film. As such, the film is already safe since 37.62 crore have already come in the first three days. This sets the stage for profits to start coming in from today since the film has been made at a budget of 30 crore (excluding P&A) and all India distribution rights have been sold for much lesser (since the makers have recovered a good amount through digital, satellite, music and other rights).

Satyameva Jayate is an action film about a hooded vigilante, Veer (John Abraham) with a particularly ruthless brand of justice. He goes about setting fire to corrupt cops. Manoj Bajpayee plays Veer’s brother DCP Shivansh Rathod. The film has received mixed critical reception, with most of the criticism going towards the gore and violence. Veer does not seem to have a code, no limit, like other fictional vigilantes do.
