Satyameva Jayate 2 Review: Three John Abrahams, Two Too Many, In Maddening Mess Of A Movie
Box Office India Trade Network

SATYAMEVA JAYATE 2 had a very low first day collecting in the 2.75-3 crore nett range. The figures are better in circuits dominated by single screens but these are smaller circuits and even here its fair numbers and not good numbers. The business in the bigger collecting areas is very dull.

The opening day numbers has shocked some of the industry but that is mainly because of the expectations built and some insane numbers going around in the industry before release.  

There is some pandemic affect, especially for regular films, as the audience will be very choosy until the market gets closer to pre pandemic levels in terms of footfalls. But the low numbers here are mainly because of the film not being good enough to bring in more footfalls. 

The fact that ANTIM - THE FINAL TRUTH is releasing today meant that SATYAMEVA JAYATE 2 needed some sort of first day number as with competition the numbers were always coming down on day two. The little advantage the film had over ANTIM - THE FINAL TRUTH has been lost with these low first day numbers and now there is no hope for the film after these numbers as there is no scope for improvement. Sunday may bring some upside but it will probably be coming off a very low Saturday.
