Box Office Analysis: Salman Khan Vs John Abraham, After Akshay Kumar’s Defeat

This Eid, the box office king is back with a bang but he is not alone. Salman Khan who was ready to topple the box office charts with Radhe on May 13 will now be clashing John Abraham’s Satyameva Jayate 2 at the halls. Looking at this massive clash let’s decode who is going to emerge victoriously?

While most people will be thinking that is difficult to defeat Sallu Bhai when it comes to numbers but it might not be that simple. When it comes to John Abraham’s box office impact, the star has a massive pull that can’t be taken for granted. Case in point, Akshay Kumar’s repeated defeat at the box office when he faced John proves Abraham loves to take on superstars at the box office.

Back in 2018, John clashed with Akshay Kumar at the Independence Day weekend. While many predicted it to be a disastrous move for John, he actually defeated Akshay’s Gold with Satyameva Jayate by a large margin.

History repeated itself in 2019, John’s Batla House gave a tough competition to Akshay’s Mission Mangal. The results reflect that the action star has indeed an audience pull of his own that brings the audience to the theatres. Directed by Milap Zaveri-directed, Satyameva Jayate is a sequel to John’s 2018 hit. For Abraham’s fans, the film will be a double treat as they will see him in a double role.

While Radhe is one of the most anticipated films which marks the return of Dabbang Khan, the clash is surely going to somewhat impact the collections of the film unless the movie has the classic Salman Khan magic to it which guarantees mass entertainment.
