Satyameva Jayate has come out second best in the clash with Gold which was always likely but if we take out the clash factor and look it as a stand alone number then 18.50 crore nett is a huge number for a film like Satyameva Jayate. This happens in a clash as its about which film come on top but Satyameva Jayate has surpassed the expectations that anyone could have had from the the film on day one. There have been clashes liek Raees v Kaabil, Rustom v Mohenjo Daro and Ae Dil Hai Mushkil v Shivaay when the loser in the clash has come out with low collections. Satyameva Jayate has done far better than the likes of Kaabil, Mohenjo Daro, and Shivaay and these were all driven by big stars.
The Independence Day holiday has boosted collections and its a huge holiday for the mass audience as single screens run at high occupancy but its multiplexes which have taken it to the 17 crore nett number as if these remained low then this sort of number was impossible. The numbers are less than Gold at multiplexes but still all multiplexes have recorded strong numbers be it in the morning or evening. The opening day is the best not only for a John Abraham solo release which is not a huge task but it is far ahead of all the multistarrers as well.
The big question now is can the film hold at some decent level to become a winner as the first day collections are far higher than what these type of films (mid budget action films) get especially in the multiplexes. Below are the top ten opening days of John Abraham

Every one of them outperformed every expectation. Its Race 3 that crashed. The myth of stardom has really gone for a toss. 😲

Really says something. All of these films work because of how they come together as a package. Ranveer has never delivered outside big budget Bhansali-Deepika offerings. And Padmavat was essentially a culmination of a trilogy. Varun gets too much credit, when the director, music and often Alia Bhatt also contribute a lot. 😛

Nora Fatehi is the biggest star because she was in Baahubali and now she is in this film which was essentially promoted on her item number 😆

Even John acknowledged that Dilbar gave them such huge reach and platform he never thought he would get.

And besides Nora, the initial was possible because of Neha Kakkar in YouTube, that girl can sing "Happy Birthday To You" and still get 100 million views😆.

Dilbar really helped this one initially. Then came the solid promo material which built up the curiosity. Action scenes looked impressive (john's physique makes it believable that this guy can beat up 10 people at once) finally milap who is good with dark genres is back in it after the debacle of mastzaade. All these factors came together to give it a huge opening.
