Akshay Kumar is back and how! The original Khiladi Kumar of B-town is on a spree of giving us the patriotic themed films and we don't complain. This time, he is here with a period drama based on hockey game set in the backdrop of Independence era. The film is based on Tapan Das, a young assistant manager in 1936, who dreams of playing for an independent nation. Gold Trailer just hit the net. When it comes to hockey, the first film that comes into our minds is Shah Rukh Khan starrer Chak De India. The film threw light on the Hockey, which is also India's national game,  like never before, compelling Indians to take it as seriously as other sports.

Now, as the trailer hits the internet, the netizens are busy comparing the SRK starrer with the Akshay starrer. We don't know what sense that does make as both the films are on different lines but Twitterati loves to debate! And Gold- Chak De India are the newest victims to it. Read some of the tweets here.

Logically speaking, comparing both the films is unfair to both the movie makers. First of all, Chak De India released much before than Gold and the flick brought the sport into limelight in true sense. Secondly, Akshay's film gives us an entirely different flavour than that of Chak De. Just because both the films have just a thing in common aka 'Hockey', does not mean that they stand as competitors, do they?
