Post independence, Tapan Das, the manager of the Indian hockey team, faces several obstacles as he prepares his team for the upcoming Olympics in the hope of winning a gold medal for the hockey . It is very old type movie.

What a let-down, the movie had potential, but the stupid script, direction and over the top acting ruined it all. The plot revolves around the first gold medal won by the Independent India hockey team, the movie does its best in trying to veer away from reality whenever it can. I believe the only thing which they stayed true to was, India did undergo partition and we did win the gold but the journey to it as shown in the movie was all hogwash.

Akshay and his players save this rather exhausting biography. Gold runs mainly on Tapan(Akshay) who is drunkard manager of the Indian Hockey team. His attempts to give India a Olympic gold medal and barriers developed in his mission have been depicted in the movie. Akshay's on and off beat Bengali language developed irritation and so does Mouni Roy's.His screen sharing with Roy is also not a good choice.Moreover the movie gives us little reason to take Akshay seriously and thus makes it hard to believe why he is so important for the team. Amidst all the negativity, it's the game that will keep you sitted.Thrilling matches and extraordinary background scores are some plus points. Above all, Gold is an overcooked sports that has nothing to offer without exciting game play.

Inconsistencies and the exhausting length weigh down Gold. But Reema ably pulls the loose threads together in the thrilling climactic match.

Rated: 3/5

Arré

For a film about sport, Gold treats hockey as a mere formality in service of an Akshay Kumar vanity project.

I'm very very impressed with Sunny Kaushal, and I hope to see much more of this earnest actor in the future.

Kumar's Bengali accent is all over the Hooghly, and he doesn't quite carry Gold with panache...
