Review done by Moneybizpedia Team:

Mission Raniganj Reviews Box Office Day 1
Key Highlights:
- “Mission Raniganj” portrays the real-life story of a heroic Coal India officer who rescued 65 trapped miners.
- The film is directed by Tinu Suresh Desai and stars Akshay Kumar, Parineeti Chopra, Kumud Mishra, Pavan Malhotra, and more.
- Advance booking for the film’s day 1 at the box office has been surprisingly low, with tickets worth around 80 lakhs gross sold across the country.
- The movie now relies on word-of-mouth reviews and over-the-counter ticket sales to determine its fate.
In the midst of anticipation and excitement, “Mission Raniganj” is finally hitting the big screens. Directed by Tinu Suresh Desai, this thriller is based on a real-life incident from 1989 when the Raniganj Coalfields faced a catastrophic collapse. Starring the versatile Akshay Kumar, along with Parineeti Chopra, Kumud Mishra, Pavan Malhotra, and more, fans were hopeful for an engaging cinematic experience.
However, the advance booking for the film’s opening day has taken an unexpected turn. “Mission Raniganj” has managed to sell tickets worth approximately 80 lakhs gross all across the country. This outcome is akin to the response garnered by the film “Selfiee,” which has left many surprised.
The film’s fate now largely hinges on the reactions it receives from the audience, as over-the-counter ticket sales will play a significant role in determining its box office performance. The movie’s opening day collections are not expected to be staggering, but they will establish a foundation upon which the film can build over the weekend, especially considering the absence of major new releases in theaters.

Director Tinu Suresh Desai had previously collaborated with Akshay Kumar on “Rustom,” which turned out to be a box office success. Fans are hoping for a similar outcome with “Mission Raniganj,” provided the film manages to captivate audiences and generate positive word-of-mouth reviews.
Akshay Kumar’s last release, “OMG 2,” achieved box office success despite facing a clash with “Gadar 2.” The film eventually earned 150 crores in India after a decent start. Now, all eyes are on “Mission Raniganj” to see if it can replicate the magic of Akshay’s previous hits.
Please note that box office numbers are based on estimates and various sources and have not been independently verified by Moneybizpedia. As the film’s fate unfolds, audiences and industry experts eagerly await its performance at the box office.
