Akshay Kumar starrer Gold had opened on Independence Day and its 9-day extended week helped it earn Rs 89.30 crore. In its second week, the film saw a considerable decline and managed to only garner Rs 14.70 crore.
Trade analyst Taran Adarsh shared the latest box office figures of Gold on Twitter. He wrote, “#Gold witnesses a decline in Week 2… Amassed a major chunk in Week 1 and more specifically on Day 1 [ 25.25 cr]… Likely to fold up under 115 cr… [Week 2] Fri 1.85 cr, Sat 3.10 cr, Sun 4.75 cr, Mon 1.45 cr, Tue 1.30 cr, Wed 1.25 cr, Thu 1 cr.

Gold is based on Indian Hockey team’s gold medal victory at 1948 Olympics. It fictionalises the events preceding the big final, in which an independent India defeated the British to clinch the top prize. Akshay Kumar plays the role of Tapan Das, the team’s manager. The Reema Kagti directorial also stars Mouni Roy, Kunal Kapoor, Vineet Kumar Singh, Amit Sadh, and Sunny Kaushal.
