Satyameva Jayate 2 Box Office Review: John Abraham X 3 Will Click In The Mass Centers
Star cast: John Abraham x 3, Divya Khosla Kumar, Harsh Chhaya, Gautami Kapoor & Anup Soni
Director: Milap Zaveric
Producers: Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, Monisha Advani, Madhu Bhojwani and Nikkhil Advani
Satyemeva Jayate 2 Box Office Review: Expectations
This John Abraham starrer has been waiting a long time to release. Finally, as the second wave of COVID slowed down, we saw the film charging for release. Thankfully, Akshay Kumar and Rohit Shetty’s Sooryavanshi marked the end of a bleak period for all the Bollywood biggies, giving hope to commercial entertainers like SJ2.
Speaking of the promotions, the makers have released two trailers of the film. The second was well received by viewers. The response to songs has also been good. Overall, the marketing was good and enough to create a pre-release buzz.
In normal days, this commercial pot kettle had the potential to be a huge hit. But now things are different as major states like Maharashtra follow the 50% occupancy rule. Another hurdle is a clash with Aayush Sharma and Salman Khan’s Antim, which will be out tomorrow. Since Antim looks like a package aimed more at the multiplex audience, SJ2 has a wide area open in the form of single screens.
Satyemeva Jayate 2 Box Office Review: Impact
SJ2 is what it promises in a trailer! For the first time, John Abraham plays a triple role. Frankly, we didn’t really expect a lot of variation between his characters (which we saw in trailers), and we weren’t served either. But that point aside, John’s action and unbeatable Hulk avatar is fun if you’re okay with Bollywood cliches.
The film has everything it takes to be successful in mass centers, especially single screens. The film has emotional scenes, action, music and a touch of patriotism.
Some find Satyameva Jayate 2 unbearable if any logic is sought. If you don’t mind Bollywood taking too many liberties, this could be your TP watch!
Satyameva Jayate 2 Box Office Review: Final Verdict
SJ2’s prequel, despite receiving negative reviews from critics, was a blockbuster. It deserved 89.05 crores. Since sequels usually outperform prequels, under normal circumstances you could have predicted that this movie would join Housefull 2 (114 crores) and Race 2 (102 crores) to become John’s 3rd 100 crore grosser. But this time there are some hurdles in the path.
From now on a lifetime collection between 55-60 crores seems possible with all the restrictions and competition. Range may increase if Antim fails to impress.
