Salman
Khan-Aayush
Sharma's
Antim:
The
Final
Truth
is
the
third
big-ticket
Bollywood
film
to
release
post
pandemic
after
Akshay
Kumar's
Sooryavanshi
and
John
Abraham's
Satyameva
Jayate
2.
The
Mahesh
Manjrekar
directorial
received
mixed
response
from
the
critics
and
opened
up
on
slow
note
at
the
box
office.
However,
it
picked
up
business
over
the
weekend
and
even
passed
the
crucial
Monday
test
with
decent
numbers.
Antim
had
collected
Rs
5.03
crore
on
Friday,
Rs
6.03
crore
on
Saturday
and
Rs
7.55
crore
on
Sunday
taking
the
total
three-day
collection
to
Rs
18.61
crore.
Speaking
about
its
performance
at
the
box
office
on
Monday,
early
estimates
suggest
that
it
was
a
50%
drop
of
its
first
day
score
and
minted
around
Rs
2-3
crore.
The
film
is
reportedly
faring
better
in
Maharashtra
despite
50%
occupancy.
Worldwise,
the
film
has
minted
Rs
24.11
crore
in
three
days.
Antim
has
Salman
Khan
essaying
the
role
of
a
Sikh
cop
while
Aayush
Sharma
is
pitted
opposite
him
as
a
gangster
named
Rahuliya.
Salman's
role
in
this
movie
is
quite
unlike
the
other
cop
roles
that
he
has
played
in
the
past.
He
doesn't
have
a
love
interest
in
it.
Speaking
about
it,
the
superstar
revealed
in
his
latest
interview
with
Pinkvilla
that
it
was
a
conscious
decision
as
his
character
Rajveer
would
have
gone
off
track
with
romance
and
songs.
"Be
it
Dabangg
or
Sholay
-
they
are
all
real
films
if
you
take
out
the
song
and
action.
Dabangg
is
a
small
realistic
film
but
we
took
it
to
the
next
level
with
songs
and
action
scenes.
In
Antim
too,
we
have
enhanced
the
action
scenes
since
people
are
used
to
seeing
a
certain
level
of
action,
but
in
the
real
space,"
the
actor
was
quoted
as
saying.
For
the
unversed,
Antim
is
an
adaptation
of
the
critically
acclaimed
Marathi
film
Mulshi
Pattern.
