Satyameva Jayate vs Gold, it was certainly one of the biggest box office clashes for the year 2018. On the occasion of Independence Day, two big films Gold and Satyameva Jayate release in theatres, giving tough competition to each other. While Akshay Kumar’s Gold travelled back to 1948, evoking patriotism in the audience, John Abraham’s Satyameva Jayate talked about weeding out corruption from our system. If Gold was full of love for the nation, Satyameva Jayate was all about Indian police’s malpractices. Altogether, both of the films belonged to different genres despite being patriotic films.

On the other hand, Satyameva Jayate gives John Abraham his highest opening film ever. The cop drama raked in Rs 18 crore on its day, becoming the highest opening film for the actor. Earlier, his film Parmanu minted Rs 85 crores worldwide becoming a hit at the box office. It seems like the year 2018 is treating John Abraham really well.

Satyameva Jayate Movie Review
Our film critic wrote about Satyameva Jayate, “Satyameva Jayate’s cornerstone is the corruption that’s eating up the police department of the country. From bribery to fake gallantry medals, the film talks about all. It hits right at the point when it refers to the Khaki colour as the new colour of fear and bias and didn’t shy away from raising fingers at the existent flaws in our system. The film packs many punches like ‘Gareeb insaan kachre ki tarah hote hain aur kachre ko insaaf nahi milta.’, ‘note badle neeyat nahi’ lampooning the fraudulent ways of the police. The eternal chase between Veer and Shivansh keep you at the edge of your seat. The film is full of anger and frustration and you will feel the same while watching it. It’s not a happy film for even fraction of a second, and so, it’s the utmost real.”
