It's a sense of deja vu for the industry and the audiences. Last year we had two big releases releasing on Independence Day - the Akshay Kumar starrer 'Gold' and the John Abraham starrer 'Satyameva Jayate'. This year too, the two biggies which released on Independence Day were Akki's 'Mission Mangal' and John's 'Batla House'. Here are the early estimates of both the films.

As per the trade, 'Mission Mangal' has managed to outperform 'Batla House' on the opening day. 'Mission Mangal' has recorded excellent first day collections of around 27-28 crore nett while 'Batla House' has done decent business of around 13-14 crore nett.

While the opening of both films can be considered pretty decent, one will also have to see how the films perform post the big holiday and over the weekend and thereafter. For the moment it looks like Akshay Kumar's film has the definite edge over the John Abraham film. One will have to wait and watch!
