John Abraham on Satyameva Jayate and Akshay Kumar in Gold
It's a stiff competition that John Abraham has given Bollywood's blue-eyed boy Akshay Kumar at the box office, even as Independence Day proved to be a fruitful one for both the actors. With Rs 25.25 crore in its kitty on day one of its release yesterday, Kumar's Gold outperformed Abraham's Satyameva Jayate, but only by a limited Rs 5 crore. It is also noteworthy that Abraham's actioner collected Rs 20.52 crore despite hitting 2,500 screens in India when pitted against the 3,300 that Gold released in.
Nonetheless, it's been a joyous day for trade experts with both films setting the cash registers ringing. Trade expert Amod Mehra admits that Abraham has turned out to be a surprise package. "We didn't doubt that both films would do well. Gold has emerged to be a winner. But Satyameva Jayate's numbers have been encouraging. Both Akshay and John have recorded their highest day-one business, which is phenomenal."
