Akshay Kumar and Parineeti Chopra starrer Mission Raniganj finally hit theatres on October 6. Despite getting mixed reviews from both, the audiences and the critics, the film has started slow at the box office. However, the film showes a good amount of growth on Saturday and eraned Rs. 4.7 crores. As reported by the industry tracker Sacnilk, Mission Raniganj earned Rs 7.50 crore at the box office in two days.
Reportedly, Mission Raniganj had an overall 15.73% Hindi Occupancy on Saturday, October 07, 2023. While morning shows had an occupancy of 10.13%, it increased to close to 23.47% in the night shows. However, it will be interesting to see if earnings for Mission Raniganj will increase on Sunday.
Mission Raniganj is inspired by a real-life incident and presents the heroic act of the late Shri Jaswant Singh Gill who led Bharat’s coal mine rescue mission. Singh (portrayed by Akshay Kumar) played a significant role in rescuing all the surviving miners trapped inside a flooded coal mine in Raniganj in November 1989 which is documented to be the world’s largest and successful rescue mission against all odds.
News18 Showsha’s review of the movie reads, “Mission Raniganj, expectedly, rests on Akshay Kumar’s shoulders, and he underplays the heroism beautifully, bringing quiet but steely resolve to the character, even delivering the stray note of humor almost conversationally. There’s almost none of his starry baggage in this performance, which easily counts among his best. On the other hand, Parineeti Chopra who plays his wife (Nirdosh Gill) doesn’t have any screen time and hardly has anything to do in the film. Ravi Kishen, Inaamulhaq, and Jameel Khan among others who play the miners are decent.”
