Satyameva Jayate box office collection Day 1: John Abraham starrer Satyameva Jayate, which was released on Independence Day, has earned Rs 20.52 crore on its opening day, despite its clash with Akshay Kumar starrer Gold. The action-drama star cast also includes Manoj Bajpayee.  
 
Talking about the Bollywood movie's opening day success, film trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted, “#SatyamevaJayate springs a BIG SURPRISE… Plexes are good, but single screens are ROCKING… Wed ₹ 20.52 cr. India biz.”
 
Although Satyameva Jayate has not been received favourably by quite a few critics due to violent scenes, the movie's director Nikkhil Advani is quite enthusiastic. Advani reportedly said, “It’s been a highly emotional day for the entire team of SMJ watching the film with the audiences that it was made to reach out to. Milap’s conviction and outright confidence has paid huge dividends and as producers we are extremely gratified by the record breaking numbers that have appreciated the film as well as the reviews that understood the intention with which the story had been narrated.”
