Marking the occasion of Independence Day, Akshay Kumar starrer Gold hit the screens on Wednesday and has taken a fabulous start at the ticket windows. The movie managed to rake in a whopping sum of Rs 25.25 crore at the box office on the first day of its release. This also means that Gold has emerged to be Akshay Kumar's biggest opening till date.
Trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to his Twitter account to share the opening day collection figures of the film. He wrote, "#Gold has an EXTRAORDINARY Day 1... Takes a FAB START at plexes across major centres... Wed ₹ 25.25 cr. India biz."
Gold is only behind Ranbir Kapoor's Sanju and Salman Khan's Race 3, to bag the position of the 3rd highest opener of the year so far.
The sports drama has been winning hearts all over, garnering immense love from not just the audience but also critics and B-town. In sync with the patriotic spirit of Independence Day, Gold proved to be a perfect treat for the national festival.
Gold showcases the dream of Tapan Das played by Akshay Kumar, who wishes to win India’s first gold medal in hockey as an independent nation. He coaches the team for the 1948 Olympics in London, inspiring the athletes to make a mark against the British on their own turf. Subsequently, India won the gold medal on August 12, 1948.
The film has been shot across the UK and India, capturing the fascinating aspects of the pre-independent era. Gold not only marks the first ever association between Akshay Kumar and Excel Entertainment led by Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar but also is the debut of TV sensation Mouni Roy.
Starring Akshay Kumar, Mouni Roy, Kunal Kapoor, Amit Sadh, Vineet Singh and Sunny Kaushal, Gold provided a power-packed performance by the ensemble actors. The movie has been helmed by Reema Kagti.
