Mission Raniganj’s story

Mission Raniganj's story

The story of the movie begins in Raniganj, where it is demonstrated how the locals support themselves by working in the coal mines. The entire community gathers at the home of a labourer to see the Mahabharata on a TV that was purchased with his hard-earned money. Everyone appears to be in a pleasant mood at this time. Jaswant Singh Gill (Akshay Kumar), on the other hand, travels to Raniganj with his expectant wife Nazukta (Parineeti Chopra). In Raniganj, Kolkata, Jaswant was employed by Coal India Limited as a rescue engineer.

How 71 people got trapped in Raniganj coal mine?

The actual drama now starts as the coal mine workers joyfully depart for the night shift. Approximately 71 individuals enter the mine. The mine below is then subjected to blasting, following which water begins to suddenly flow into the mine. The water flow accelerates over time. A total of 71 workers are stranded 350 feet below. However, six workmen had initially killed themselves. The 65 people who are trapped below are then saved by Akshay Kumar, playing the role of Jaswant Singh Gill.

How Jaswant Singh Gill prepared a capsule to save people?

The senior cops on the scene make every effort to resolve this challenging scenario. They fail, though. There is less time and more work. The fact that a member of the villagers’ family is trapped in the coal mine below adds to their fear. Everything was trying, but nothing was working. Gill Sahab has an idea in such a circumstance. They get a capsule ready. Jaswant Singh Gill is initially not taken seriously, but the mine’s local management sees potential in him.

With the assistance of the technician, who helps him do experiments using methods other than the conventional ones, one and one becomes eleven. The job starts. While this is happening, certain individuals with business conflicts want this mission to fail completely. There are barriers put up. There are plots being hatched. How many workers can Jaswant Singh Gill save in this circumstance? You must watch “Mission Raniganj” at the movies in order to understand this.

How is the star cast of the film?

Akshay Kumar does not look like Akshay Kumar in this film. He has worked very hard on the character. From look to language, everything is different. Looking at Akshay Kumar’s character in this film, it would not be wrong to say that now Akshay is leaving aside the obsession of box office and focusing on choosing legitimate stories. Even though this film may not be able to collect crores, the story of real hero that Akshay has brought to the people through this film is a big thing in itself.

Parineeti Chopra is also looking good in the role of Jaswant Singh Gill’s wife in this film. People may like her Punjabi acting in the film to a great extent. Apart from these, actors like Kumud Mishra, Pawan Malhotra, Varun Badola, Dibyendu Bhattacharya, Rajesh Sharma, Virendra Saxena, Anand Mahadevan, Jamil Khan, Sudhir Pandey, Ravi Kishan have worked to make the story more powerful with their respective characters. Ravi Kishan’s character is worth watching in this film.

Ravi Kishan, who was seen in the role of ‘Bhola’, has also contributed to his acting in this film. The supporting characters trapped in the mine have also done a good job.

Film’s direction

Tinu Suresh Desai is the director of “Mission Raniganj.” The story’s subject matter is such that its essence would have been lost if it had not been conveyed adequately. Huge cheers should be given to the director Tinu Suresh Desai for his efforts. From the opening frame of the movie to the climax, Desai has kept control of the situation. Let us remind you that Tinu previously collaborated with Akshay Kumar on the movie “Rustom.” The National Award for Best Actor for Rustom went to Akshay. The movie “Mission Raniganj” should now be seen. The setting of “Mission Raniganj” is 18 years ago, when the only person the workers had to save them from certain death was Jaswant Singh Gill. If you like a good story and exciting drama then this film is for you, definitely watch it.
