Akshay Kumar has returned to the big screens after playing Lord Shiva’s messenger in OMG 2. His latest film, Mission Raniganj: The Great Bharat Rescue, in which he portrayed the role of Jaswant Singh Gill, a brave and sincere mining engineer who rescued 65 trapped miners Rani Ganj Coal fields in 1989. But it seems the audience is not interested in watching this rescue-thriller.
The film, Mission Raniganj had an even worse opening than his previous film, Selfie. Selfie had an opening of around 3.2Cr Net, which is the disastrous opening for a star Hero in Bollywood recently. Now Akshay Kumar himself broke this lowest opening with Mission Raniganj as the film’s numbers are even lesser than Selfie. The early estimates for the film’s day 1 are lesser than 3Cr. Though the film opened with good reviews, still the audiences did not turn out to the theaters.
The film was expected to have great expectations, as it was directed by Vashu Bhagnani, who has been one of the most well-known producers of the 1990s, and directed by Tinu Suresh Desai, whose last film was the successful Rustom.
Mission Raniganj is consists of a stellar cast which includes Parineeti Chopra, Kumud Mishra, Pawan Malhotra, Ravi Kishan, Jameel Khan, Dibyendu Bhattacharya, Varun Badola, and many others. Akshay’s last super hit film before OMG 2 was Rohit Shetty’s Sooryavanshi in 2021. Meanwhile, he has released about 8 films, but most of them haven’t had any impact, like Atrangi Re, Cuttputlli, Bell Bottom, Bachchhan Paandey, Raksha Bandhan Ram Setu, Selfie, or Samrat Prithviraj.
