It's going to be just about two weeks since Akshay Kumar's Gold and John Abraham's Satyameva Jayate released and both films are garnering a whole lot of love from audiences and fans. Gold as well as Satyameva Jayate have already made over Rs 100 crore at the box-office.
Set in 1948, Gold, directed by Reema Kagti, casts Akshay as a hockey team’s manager Tapan Das, wherein he dreams of winning a gold medal at the Olympics for India as a free nation. In Satyameva Jayate, John plays a vigilante, who fights against corruption and social injustice. Manoj Bajpayee, Amruta Khanvilkar and Aisha Sharma co-star in the film.

Although Satyameva Jayate's collections declined in its second week, Taran declared the film as a "hit" owing to its decent response at the box-office on the Raksha Bandhan holiday.
