Akshay Kumar has made a comeback to the big screens after playing Lord Shiva’s messenger in OMG 2. He played Jaswant Singh Gill, a brave and sincere mining engineer who rescued 65 trapped miners from Rani Ganj Coal fields in 1989 in his latest film, Mission Raniganj: The Great Bharat Rescue. However, the film could not get even decent collections at the box office.
After getting below par numbers on day 1, the film, Mission Raniganj saw a slight jump on the second day, but it failed to get a strong number on Sunday as it got affected by the Ind vs. Aus World Cup match. Overall the film collected a meager total of 12.8Cr net for 3 days and it is not showing any signs of jumping further.
The film was anticipated to receive a great response, as it was directed by Vashu Bhagnani, who was one of the most well-known producers of the 1990s, and directed by Tinu Suresh Desai, whose last film was the successful Rustom. Sadly, the film could not get the proper hype and Ind vs. Aus World Cup match has even more worsened the situation for the film.
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.
