Antim - The Final Truth had a so so first day of 4.50 crore nett if it can grow well then it will be a decent first day number. If you look at it from the fact it was attempted to be promoted as a Salman Khan film then the collections are low but they are not too bad from the actual film point of view which is non cast and regional.
The film was going to struggle to get an audience outside Maharashtra and that is pretty much what has happened with circuits like East Punjab and West Bengal showing very dull collections. The trailer gave the film that local Maharashtra feel and that is where it has done best. CPCI is decent and Nizam / Andhra is also very good.
The film was a part of a three film deal for Radhe which included Antim - The Final Truth and Kaagaz and the value of Antim - The Real Truth was around 15% which would be around 30-35 crore and this was to be covered by digital and satelite.
Obviously they have probably extended the role of Salman Khan and packaged the film to get some results in theatres but at the end of the day the film remains the same film and regional in content which does not justify a star like Salman Khan.
The collections on day one have come due to Salman Khan and now if the film can grow and get a 15-20 crore theatrical share it would be a decent result for a film where probably nothing much was expected theatrically. But the question is can the film grow as outside Maharashtra and maybe some stations of the central belt it will find it hard to get appreciation.
