Akshay Kumar is the king of Independence Day weekend and he has proved it once again with Gold box office collection. Akshay Kumar has delivered six straight hits in the last three years and trade sources are confident his latest film is headed that way too. Gold’s box office collection on day one was estimated to be over Rs 25 crore, which gave it a head start over John Abraham’s Satyameva Jayate.

Directed by Reema Kagti and starring Mouni Roy and Amit Sadh in an ensemble cast, Gold has got largely positive reviews.
In the movie, Akshay plays manager Tapan Das, who led India to its first Olympic gold as an independent nation in a fictional 1948.
According to trade sources, advance bookings for Gold are rising steadily, especially in Tier I cities.
