Antim- The Final Truth has taken a slow start with collections being a little better than yesterday's release Satyameva Jayate 2. That film remained flat through the day and the hope here is that it makes some progress through the day.

The business here is also better in single screens and some cinemas in Maharashtra including multiplexes have shown pretty good numbers but the overall the picture is not so good.  The difference between Satyameva Jayate 2 and Antim - The Final Truth is that multiplexes have opened a little better and hopefully the content will be better than Satyameva Jayate 2 which will give some push from the afternoon.

If the film gets the push it will result in a pretty decent collection but again here the industry had high expectations as compared to the actual film. A few years ago Shahrukh Khan pushed a film like Dear Zindagi to 8.50 crore nett collections but that film had Alia Bhatt there already so even without Shahrukh Khan could have opened to 4-5 crore nett.

Antim - The Final Truth would hardly open 1-2 crore nett if there was no Salman Khan but some of the industry was expecting better numbers than Dear Zindagi which is pretty crazy as how much can even a superstar push when the original film itself is hardly going to collect.

Salman Khan will do his job and give the film a boost and then its about whether the film has anything there to go further or its just about getting a far a bigger day one number than it should but then not going anywhere as all it has is the presence of Salman Khan.
