A Glimpse of “Mission Raniganj: The Great Bharat Rescue”
“Mission Raniganj” is a cinematic tribute to the late Jaswant Singh Gill, who made history in November 1989 by leading India’s first successful coal mine rescue mission. The film, directed by Tinu Suresh Desai, takes the audience on an emotional rollercoaster ride, highlighting the resilience, determination, and heroism of those involved in the daring rescue operation. Produced by Vashu Bhagnani, Jackky Bhagnani, Deepshikha Deshmukh, and Ajay Kapoor, this film is a testimony to the untiring efforts and sacrifices made by individuals to save lives trapped deep within the earth.
A Review That Echoes the Sentiments of Many
The Hindustan Times’ review of “Mission Raniganj” hailed director Tinu Suresh Desai’s storytelling prowess but pointed out a slight imbalance in the narrative. The review noted, “Director Tinu Suresh Desai weaves the screenplay in a manner that it keeps you engaged and invested, with several hard-hitting moments. However, he majorly falters at places where he lets his hero take the center stage, putting the story at the backseat. In portions where Akshay Kumar dominates most of the screen time, the focus is primarily on his actions and efforts rather than the ordeal of the miners stuck deep in the mine.”

Despite this critique, Akshay Kumar’s portrayal of the heroic leader and the overall storytelling received praise from critics and audiences alike.

And I am happy to say that this is one of the best films which I have done.”
