John Abraham starrer 'Satyameva Jayate,' which was released on Independence Day, has done extremely well on its opening day. Also starring Manoj Bajpayee, the film has earned £2.05 million. Despite its clash with Akshay Kumar starrer 'Gold,' the film has managed to do well for itself. The film has not been received favourably by critics. The last film with an A certificate to earn heavily on the first day was perhaps 'Grand Masti' which had made £1.25 million on the opening day. In fact, it was the first adult film in India to earn over £10 million. As absurd as it may sound, people did watch this sex comedy and even loved it. Now 'Satyameva Jayate' takes that place with £2.05 million.
Nikkhil Advani, the producer of the film said, “It’s been a highly emotional day for the entire team of SMJ watching the film with the audiences that it was made to reach out to. Milap’s conviction and outright confidence has paid huge dividends and as producers we are extremely gratified by the record breaking numbers that have appreciated the film as well as the reviews that understood the intention with which the story had been narrated.”
