On the 15th August 2018 two popular actors namely Akshay Kumar and John Abraham stood opposite each other, with simultaneous release of their respective films ‘Gold’ and ‘Satyamev Jayate’.
Though these two films had different subjects, they were in the interest of the country. However, there were not very favourable reviews from media for these two films. Very few critics offered 3 stars to these films. While some called ‘Gold’ an inspiring film, others called ‘Satyamev Jayate’ a typical action film mixed with filmy dialogues.
But, that did not affect the collections at cinema halls. Both the films were doing well on the 8th day, with better collections which were moving towards Rs.100 Crore mark . ‘Gold’ had nearly collected Rs. 85 Crore , while Satyamev Jayate was also moving close to Rs. 80 Crore.
The budget of the film ‘Gold’ is not known to us, but we understand that ‘Satyamev jayate was made with the budget of Rs. 40 Crore . and therefore passing the 80 Cr. Mark itself would be called a hit film. Now, it remains to be seen, which film will cross Rs. 100 Cr. Mark first.
