Can Satya Perform Well With Its Cult Status?
Satya was initially stalled before its original release. The shooting of the 1998 cult classic was halted three days after it had begun. It was restarted after almost a week as Ram Gopal Varma collaborated with film distributor Bharat Shah.
Satya turned out to be a breakthrough film for several team members including Manoj Bajpayee and Anurag Kashyap. On the occasion of its re-release, RGV has claimed on X that his 1998 cult classic didn't go through any scripting stage.
Satya continues to be cherished for its impeccable storytelling, iconic characters, and popular sountrack. Now that it is back in theaters, can it perform well like the re-releases of Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani and Tumbaad? Going by its cult status, the crime drama has the potential to do a decent business. Let's wait and watch.
