What makes Gold worth a watch, despite some problems, are the flashes of well-done humour, the skirmishes between the players, and the rousing finale.

It’s only when Gold moves away from Akshay Kumar’s blundering Bangla and hockey humbug to become a story of grace among go-getters that it comes close to becoming the movie it should have been…

Akshay Kumar hogs the footage but it is the other actors who do the fancy dribbling on the acting front.

Akshay Kumar shines in patriotic blockbuster…

Gold has its occasional redeeming moments, but for the most part it just skims the surface of a landscape once examined with such depth by Chak De! India.

Overall, with an overload of patriotic films in the recent past, Gold fails to offer anything exciting.
