The movie happens to be a disaster thriller drama and also stars Parineeti Chopra in the lead. Interestingly, Mission Raniganj marks Akshay's second collaboration with Parineeti after Kesari.

Directed by Tinu Suresh Desai, Mission Raniganj: The Great Bharat Rescue is based on real incidents and narrates the story of Jaswant Singh Gill, a brave and diligent mining engineer from IIT Dhanbad, who rescued 65 trapped miners at the Raniganj Coalfields in 1989. And as Mission Raniganj has hit the theatres today, it has opened to decent reviews from the audience.

Interestingly, the movie, which witnessed a decent start at the box office, is likely to witness a significant growth at the box office on the second day. According to a report published in Sacnilk, the advance booking report of Mission Raniganj: The Great Bharat Rescue is out and it will witness growth during the opening weekend.

Talking about the film, 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".

Interestingly, Akshay and Parineeti's Mission Raniganj: The Great Bharat Rescue will be witnessing a box office clash with Rhea Kapoor's production Thank You For Coming which features Shehnaaz Gill, Bhumi Pednekar, Kusha Kapila, Karan Kundrra, Shibani Bedi, Anil Kapoor etc in key roles.
