Mission Raniganj is Akshay Kumar’s 3rd release of the year. Akshay Kumar’s 1st release Selfiee proved to be a huge disaster at the Box Office.
Selfiee opened on a shocking note and managed to collect only 2.55 cr. Selfiee’s lifetime collections were under 20 cr which was a big shock to the whole industry. Selfiee collected only 16.85 cr in its lifetime run.
Akshay Kumar is a superstar who used to collect the lifetime numbers of Selfiee in a single day, but failed to attract the viewers.
Akshay’s 2nd film of the year, OMG 2 emerged as a Super-Hit at the Box Office. Despite facing a clash with Gadar 2, OMG 2 collected 150 cr at the Box Office. OMG 2 was rated ‘A’ by the Censor Board, but it did well at box office.
Mission Raniganj has posted shocking numbers on Day 1. The opening day numbers are on par with Selfiee. Mission Raniganj has managed to collect only 2.80 cr nett (approx) on its opening day at the Box Office.
Akshay has a good box office pull, but delivering back to back films in a shorter span has affected his stardom.
Akshay used to provide good content oriented films in the past. In 2019, Akshay delivered 4 back to back 150 cr+ films at the Box Office.
The poor box office form of Akshay continues. Akshay delivered 4 back to back flops – Bachchhan Paandey, Samrat Prithviraj, Raksha Bandhan and Ram Setu in 2022.
Mission Raniganj has struggled because of its poor content, poor VFX, outdated presentation, over the top writing, low grade execution and low production value.
Mission Raniganj is based on an inspiring and heroic tale of the late Jaswant Singh Gill. The film is a survival thriller, where Gill rescues 65 miners trapped in the coal mines.
Mission Raniganj faced a clash with Ektaa Kapoor and Bhumi Pednekar’s Thank You For Coming and Rajshri’s Dono at the Box Office.
All the 3 films had an extremely low opening at the Box Office.
Mission Raniganj is directed by Rustom fame Tinu Suresh Desai. The film is produced by Pooja Entertainment. The film stars Akshay Kumar and Parineeti Chopra in the lead roles.
