GOLD showed decent growth of 25% on Friday to collect 10 crore nett and take its three day numbers to 43 crore nett plus. The film has managed to jump above SATYAMEVA JAYATE in some mass circuits for the first time since release. The main plus is the film has gone up from the previous day which saw a very heavy decline in business which was actually scary but probably came as the first day it probably put up higher numbers than it should have.

If the film remained flat like SATYAMEVA JAYATE on Friday it would have been in trouble but now it goes into the weekend with potential for more growth but that remains to be seen as a part holiday could have helped on Friday. Its a decent trend and if the film could build on it then it can sustain well at the box office.

The first three day business of GOLD is as follows.
Wednesday - 25,25,00,000 apprx
Thursday - 8,00,00,000 apprx
Friday - 10,00,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 43,25,00,000

GOLD was behind SATYAMEVA JAYATE in six circuits on the first two days but now that has come down to four circuits with one circuit almost the same and GOLD could lead there on Saturday.

It is doing best in East Punjab, Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Bangalore but the next two days are crucial for a good five day tally and a good trend will be a good sign for the all important weekday business.
