Akshay Kumar's 'Mission Raniganj: The Great Bharat Rescue' did not perform as per the high expectations set for it at the box office. The film narrates the remarkable real-life account of Jaswant Singh Gill, a true hero who, back in 1989, successfully rescued 65 miners trapped in a flooded coal mine in Raniganj, West Bengal. Despite the initially underwhelming reception, 'Mission Raniganj' has now managed to surpass the Rs 20-crore mark in terms of earnings in India after its release last week. Early estimates indicate that the film experienced a slight growth in its collections on the eighth day.
Akshay Kumar's 'Mission Raniganj: The Great Bharat Rescue' was initially released on October 6. The movie is centered around the courageous actions of Jaswant Singh Gill during a crisis in 1989. On October 12, it recorded earnings of approximately Rs 1.30 crore in India. Early estimates for the eighth day of screening suggest that the film saw a slight increase in its box office earnings, reaching a total collection of Rs 23.25 crore.
Furthermore, on October 13, 'Mission Raniganj' maintained an overall occupancy rate of 66.20 percent for its Hindi version.
The movie features a star-studded cast including Akshay Kumar, Parineeti Chopra, Kumud Mishra, Pavan Malhotra, Ravi Kishan, Varun Badola, Dibyendu Bhattacharya, Rajesh Sharma, Virendra Saxena, Shishir Sharma, Ananth Mahadevan, Jameel Khan, Sudhir Pandey, Bachan Pachera, Mukesh Bhatt, and Omkar Das Manikpuri. 'Mission Raniganj' serves as a tribute to the unwavering determination, resilience, and courage exhibited by the human spirit and the prowess of engineering minds in the face of adversity.
The film also marks the second collaboration between Akshay Kumar and director Tinu Suresh Desai, following their earlier successful partnership in 'Rustom', which earned the actor his first National Award.
