Mission Raniganj is a film inspired by the real-life story of Jaswant Singh Gill, an Indian mining engineer who led the first successful coal mine rescue mission in India in November 1989.
Akshay Kumar’s new film, Mission Raniganj, had a disappointing opening day at the box office, earning only ₹2.80 crore net in India.
Akshay Kumar’s previous film, OMG 2, had a strong opening day, earning ₹10.26 crore net in India despite facing stiff competition from Sunny Deol’s Gadar 2, both of which were released on the same day.
Mission Raniganj: The Great Bharat Rescue is a Hindi-language film based on the true story of Jaswant Singh Gill, who led India’s first successful coal mine rescue mission in November 1989. The film is directed by Tinu Suresh Desai and stars Akshay Kumar and Parineeti Chopra in the lead roles. It is produced by Vashu Bhagnani, Jackky Bhagnani, Deepshikha Deshmukh, and Ajay Kapoor.
Mission Raniganj praised the screenplay by director Tinu Suresh Desai for keeping viewers engaged and invested, with several hard-hitting moments. However, the review also criticized Desai for letting Akshay Kumar’s character take center stage and putting the story on the backseat. The review noted that when Kumar dominated most of the screen time, the focus was primarily on his actions and efforts rather than the ordeal of the miners stuck deep in the mine.
Akshay Kumar praised Mission Raniganj as one of his best films during a press conference on Friday. He praised director Tinu Suresh Desai for his hard work on the screenplay and said that he is proud of the film he has made. Kumar also said that he doesn’t care about the commercial success of the film, but that he is happy to have been a part of it.
