Gold and Satyameva Jayate have made it a better picture for the opening days of 2018 with now six flms over 15 crore nett and three films over 35 crore nett and Sanju being over 30 crore nett. The combined figures of Gold and Satyameva Jayate hit close to 44 crore nett making the highest opening day ever if we combine the totals of both films.
