India won its first gold medal as an independent nation at the Olympics on August 12, 1948. The earnest ambition to win for the country after having played for the British for years is what makes this story special.
Written and directed by Reema Kagti, 'Gold' also stars Mouni Roy. The film is co-produced by Farhan Akhtar.
Marking the occasion of 70 years of free India's first gold medal at the 1948 Olympics, the film is set to release on August 15.
