According to Sacnilk, Thank You For Coming is struggling to make Rs 1 crore at the box office on day 2. Afte an opening day collection of Rs 0.8 crores, the movie is likely to make a collection of Rs 0.96 crores on the second day which will take the overall collection to Rs 1.76 crores.

It will be interesting to see how both films will fare in the coming days. Meanwhile, talking about Mission Raniganj: The Great Bharat Rescue, Akshay, while addressing the students of IIT Dhanbad in a virtual interaction, stated, "Jaswant Gill's real-life story is truly inspiring and encouraging. Similarly, 'Padman' also showcased the inspiring journey of a visionary. They don't make people like them anymore. As an actor, I really love working on such inspirational stories that need to be told. A few years ago, I had the opportunity to speak to Jaswantji on call when he was alive. He was so humble, simple, and down to earth that it was genuinely an honor talking to him".
