Gold, Satyamave Jayate combined may have biggest first day in history.

Gold Takes A Big Lead Over Satyameva Jayate


Gold has taken a big lead over Satyameva Jayate on the first day as it looks to collectin the 25-26 crore nett region while Satyameva Jayate will collect in the 16-17 crore nett. Despite the big lead these are also strong collections for Satyameva Jayate. It was a big holiday for Independence Day which has given the collections a big boost.

Gold is easily the highest opening for an Akshay Kumar starrer with previous best at17 crore nett and for John Abraham the best his solo starrer had ever done before was Force 2 at 5.75 crore nett apprx so he has also beaten his best by a huge distance. Gold will come out higher in nearly all the circuits except maybe some of the smaller circuits.

Despite the big starts for both films, the jury will still be out as we go into working days before the weekend so there will be drops and the films will have to find their levels from these high numbers and then sustain from those levels.

It remains to be seen what happens over the next few days but Gold has won the initial battle due to the stardom of Akshay Kumar. Satyameva Jayate was a mass filmwhich had action, music and was promoted far better while Gold was more of a content film which held less appeal forthe mass audience but that is where stardom comes into play.

Gold really had no right to be in the same range as Satyameva Jayate in places like Bihar, CI, Rajasthan and CP Berar but due to the presence of Akshay Kumar the collections are very similar and that too onIndependence Day when the single screen crowd really comes out. If it was a Rowdy Rathore type then obviously its a different story but Gold is not that. But this where stardom comes into play and big stars canbring crowds in markets where the film may not actually be their type.Mumbai and Delhi / UP will be best performers for Gold. Both films have taken a hit in East Punjab due to a Punjabi film. Satyamev Jayate will be best in CPCI and Bihar while Maharashtra cities like Nasik, Kohlapur, Malegaon, Sangli etc have also seen very good collections. Both combined it will be biggest opening day in the history of Hindi cinema beating the 40 crore nett apprx of Bahubali - The Conclusion though that was a single film

Really happy for both John and Akki.
Hope both movie turn out to be hits.

This is a good sign and hopefully allows peaceful multiple releases on holiday weekends.

It doesn't have to be either or where success is concerned. Movies should have a fair playing field as content in the end is what clicks with audience.

just shows that if the two parties are respectful of each others, clashes don't harm anyone.
By parties I mean the makers and actors, fan toh hutiya the aur hutiya hi rahenge.

Both the films have opened really well.

Wow can't believe a john Abraham film took 17 cr opening. This once again proved how success/opening of films(apart from Salman/Aamir starrers) is more due to content/trailer/ director than an actor(like Sanju).

John Abraham has been doing very well! Not a fan but really proud of him and his journey! Glad he found his niche.

Wow!!!
Even John said two films can coexist unless they don't play foul.
Attendance is less due to A rating or else it would have done at business at par with Gold

Akki might finally get a 150 cr, public seem to have liked Gold.

I-Day is NOT a BIG holiday ... Big holidays are only Diwali , Eid , Christmas
