Akshay Kumar starrer Gold, which hit screens on Independence Day, has crossed the Rs 100 crore mark at the Indian box office. Sharing the latest box office figures of Gold on Twitter, film trade analyst Taran Adarsh wrote, “#Gold crosses ₹ 100 cr mark on Day 13… [Week 2] Fri 1.85 cr, Sat 3.10 cr, Sun 4.75 cr, Mon 1.45 cr. Total: ₹ 100.45 cr. India biz… Akshay Kumar’s ninth film in ₹ 100 cr Club.”
With Akshay Kumar in the lead role and the film tapping into the patriotic sentiments of the audience, it was expected that Gold would dominate the box office. However, John Abraham’s film Satyameva Jayate gave tough competition to Gold and it can be said that Gold’s box office collection suffered because of the Milap Zaveri directorial.
