Akshay Kumar has been going through a rough patch at the Box Office. Akshay’s Sooryavanshi was the 1st hit post-pandemic.
After Sooryavanshi, Akshay had back to back debacles at the Box Office. Akshay had 4 theatrical releases in 2022, and all of them flopped at the Box Office.
Bachchhan Paandey, Samrat Prithviraj, Raksha Bandhan and Ram Setu were among the 4 theatrical releases of Akshay in 2022. Akshay’s last 3 OTT releases Laxmii, Atrangi Re and Cuttputli also received negative reviews.
Akshay’s first release of 2023, Selfiee was a big disaster at the Box Office. After Selfiee, Akshay bounced back with OMG 2.
OMG 2 got a huge advantage because of the brand OMG. Despite facing a clash with Gadar 2, OMG 2 emerged as a Super-Hit at the Box Office and collected 150 crores.
Akshay’s 3rd release of the year Mission Raniganj failed to attract the viewers. Mission Raniganj has managed to collect only 12.60 cr in its opening weekend.
Have a look below at the day wise collection of Mission Raniganj:
| Days | Collection |
| Day 1 | 2.80 cr |
| Day 2 | 4.80 cr |
| Day 3 | 5 cr |
| Total | 12.60 cr |
It seems like Mission Raniganj will find it hard to cross even 20 cr mark in its lifetime. It’s difficult to see an actor like Akshay badly struggling at the Box Office.
Mission Raniganj clashed with Ektaa Kapoor’s Thank You For Coming and Rajshri’s Dono at the Box Office. All the 3 films have proved to be huge disasters.
Mission Raniganj is based on a true story. Akshay plays the role of Jaswant Singh Gill who rescues 65 miners trapped in a coal mine.
Mission Raniganj is directed by Rustom fame Tinu Suresh Desai and produced by Pooja Entertainment. The film stars Akshay Kumar and Parineeti Chopra in the lead roles.
