Akshay Kumar's Gold crosses 100 cr mark; Sonakshi Sinha's Happy Phirr Bhag Jayegi gains momentum

Bollywood movies have had a good year, one could say, and the trend seems to be going in a similar direction with the good box office performance of _Gold_ and   _Satyameva Jayate_, both released during the Independence Day week. Now, two weeks after the release of both the movies, the box office numbers, according to film trade analyst Taran Adarsh, are as follows: In its second week, Akshay Kumar and Mouni Roy starrer Gold raked in Rs 1.85 crore on Friday, Rs 3.10 crore on Saturday, Rs 4.75 crore on Sunday, and Rs 1.45 crore on Monday. This brings Gold’s total domestic collection to Rs 100.45 crore.

John Abraham and Manoj Bajpayee’s Satyameva Jayate has also performed well at the box office despite lagging behind Akshay Kumar’s Gold. Taran Adarsh wrote, “#SatyamevaJayate saw a decline in Weekend 2… Biz got a boost on second Sun [due to #RakshaBandhan]… Continues to have an edge in mass circuits/single screens… Is a HIT, due to its economics.”
