starrer
Satyagraha,
which
had
a
superb
opening,
has
shown
good
improvements
in
its
collection
at
the
Indian
Box

on
Saturday.
The
Prakash
Jha-directed
socio-political
thriller
has
beaten
the
second

record
of
his
Blockbuster
movie
Raajneeti.
Made
with
a
whopping
budget
of
Rs
50
crores,
Satyagraha
released
in
2500
screens
in
the
country
on
August
30.
The
movie
minted
Rs
11.21
crore
at
the
Indian
Box
Office
on
Friday,
beating
the
opening
day
record
of
Raajneeti.
Although
the
film
garnered
mixed
reviews
from
film
critics,
a
positive
word
of
mouth
took
its
business
upwards
on
Saturday.
It
has
collected
Rs
13.08
crores
on
the
second
day,
taking
its
two-day
domestic
total
to
Rs
24.29
crores.
Satyagraha
has
become
the
biggest
opener
for
filmmaker
Prakash
Jha.
Having
a
wonderful
message
to
the
society,
the
movie
boasts
of
stellar
performances
by
Amitabh
Bachchan,
Ajay
Devgn
and
Kareena
Kapoor,
Arjun
Rampal,
Manoj
Bajpayee
and
Amrita
Rao.
However,
officials
at
UTV
Motion
Pictures
are
hoping
that
its
collection
would
surpass
Rs
15
crore
mark
on
Sunday,
taking
its
first
weekend
total
to
Rs
40+
crores.
Satyagraha
reflects
the
uprising
of
the
middle-class
against
a
corrupt
and
unjust
system.
Talking
about
it,
Gaurav
Verma,
the
director
of
India
Theatrical
Distribution
in
Disney
UTV,
says,
"The
film
has
taken
a
good
start
at
the
box
office.
It
is
being
well-received
by
viewers
all
across
age
groups.
As
word
spreads
which
is
positive
-
we
expect
significant
growth
over
the
weekend."
