Akshay Kumar''s latest movie, Gold, that released on Independence Day was off to a great start. Although the collections dipped in the following days, Gold is likely to pick up in the upcoming week. It must be mentioned that Gold is clashing with John Abraham''s Satyamev Jayate that is also performing rather well on the box office. Perhaps, Akshay Kumar''s Gold would have pulled up better numbers if it did not clash with Abraham''s movie, whose last movie, Parmanu, also performed well on the box office.
Gold opened to houseful theatres on Wednesday. Reports of all shows being sold out were making the rounds. It wrapped up its opening day with earnings of Rs 25.25 crore, becoming the third highest-opener of the year surpassed only by Sanju and Race 3. On the following day - Thursday - Gold made Rs 8.10 crore, Rs 10.10 crore on Friday, Rs 12.30 crore on Saturday, Rs 15.55 crore on Sunday, and an estimated Rs 3.75 crore on Monday, taking the total India business to Rs 74.25 crore in 6 days.
Akshay Kumar''s Gold is estimated to have earned Rs 4.50 crore on Tuesday, taking the collection to approximately Rs 78.85 crore.
