Prakash
Jha's
latest
directorial
venture
Satyagraha
starring
Amitabh
Bachchan,
Ajay
Devgn
and
Kareena
Kapoor
in
the
leads,
has
got
a
fantastic
opening
at
the
Indian
Box
Office.
Trade
experts
say
that
the
movie
would
pickup
well
further
and
set
a
new
record
with
a
wonderful
collection
on
the
first
day.
Prior
to
its
release,
Satyagraha
has
created
a
lot
of
buzz
in
the
media
due
to
its
theme
of
corruption
and
its
effect
on
people.
The
videos
and
posters
have
soared
up
the
viewers'
expectations
to
the
sky
high.
Ajay
Degvn
had
appeared
on
a
few
TV
shows
to
promote
the
movie.
In
addition,
the
makers
have
done
huge
amount
of
promotion
for
the
film,
which
was
expected
to
get
an
overwhelming
opening.
Fitting
to
pre-release
hype,
Satyagraha
has
started
with
a
bang
in
the
domestic
market.
The
movie
has
registered
70%
to
80%
occupancy
at
single
screens,
while
multiplexes
had
an
average
of
50%
occupancy
in
the
morning
and
matinee
shows.
The
movie
is
expected
to
have
a
big
jump
in
the
afternoon
and
night
shows.
If
it
does
so,
the
movie
would
do
a
record
breaking
business
at
the
Box
Office
on
its
opening
day.
Satyagraha
has
garnered
mixed
reviews
from
the
film
critics,
but
it
is
heavy
on
star
value,
which
would
help
the
film
to
drive
an
unprecedented
crowd
of
youth
and
family
audiences
towards
the
theatres.
The
word
of
mouth
is
expected
to
do
a
magic
for
the
movie
at
the
Indian
Box
Office
over
the
weekend.
