Gold

If akshay had played role of coach or player ,the movie would have been something far better. Yet it is watchable for the efforts of rest of the actors.

Gripping throughout its length. Second half is pure GOLD.

GOLD :

Exactly after 11 years we are again watching a Movie based on National game Hockey but this times it's about 1st Olympic Gold medal won by free India.

The story starts from 1936 Berlin Olympics in Germany where Indian Hockey team was actually British India Hockey team which wins the Gold by 8-1 against Germany in their home ground where Tapan Das(Akshay) sees a dream of winning gold for free India. But due to war the Olympics gets called off and in 1946 he gets to know about the game to be held in 1948 and also there comes a news of India getting free from British and he goes for his dream again and Samrat(Kunal Kapoor) the then hockey team captain asks Das to make Imtiaz(Vineet Kr. Singh Mukkabaaz fame) to be the Captain and they create a team for 1948 Olympics which includes Himmat Singh(Sunny Kaushal) & Raghubir Pratap Singh (Amit Sadh) as the team members.

Mean while India gets freedom and country is divided into two countries divide the team and dream also. Now Das' dream gets shattered again and later anyhow a new team is formed and what happens next is the rest part.

Coming to the story of movie is good covering up the pain of partition of country and pain of playing under British rule is shown in a powerful manner but what lacks in the movie is the way players play the game is awful and we can clearly see that they are not professional at all .

Akshay Kumar as Tapan Das does not have much to do in the movie just going all over the country to select the player and being alcoholic is part for him. A very good job is dine by Sunny Kaushal as Himmat Singh and by Amit Sadh as R P Singh are appreciable.

At some point we recall Chak de India but this movie is not of that mark but it is watchable once and for the proud of our country #EkBaarGOLDdekhna is ok.

This Movie tells the Story of the Journey of Indian Hockey Team from British Era to Free-India. It feels like we are in those days. Simply awesome Screenplay, Dialogues and Background Score. Akshay Kumar did a great job there in his role. Kunal Kapoor is Awesome as he is. The role of Himmat Singh Played by Sunny Kaushal is the USP of this movie. For me, After a Long Time, Good movie to watch on This Independence Day.

Reema Kagti deserves the first mention here. She has created an absolute gem, a well balanced plot and an amazing script which has comedy, emotions and Patriotism in the right amount. Akshay Kumar is mind blowing! He nails each and every aspect of his character. His screen presence is something that cannot be missed and the mini monologue he gives before the climax scene is awesome. Sunny Kaushal is a surprise package! Just like his brother Vicky, he amazes the audience with his performance as Himmat. Kunal Kapoor, Amit Saadh and Vineet Singh have also done a brilliant job! The film keeps you engaged and sticked to your seats, the one liners are genuinely funny and definitely increase the entertainment aspect. Last 10-15 minutes of the film are the best! From the semi final till the climax scene there are a lot of Goosebumps! Music is average but work well with the film as most of the songs are situational. Naino Ne Baandhi and Rasta Rasta are a treat to hear in the theatre. Overall the film is a perfect blend of Patriotism and Entertainment. Go for Gold
