Mission Raniganj is a 2023 Indian Hindi-language biographical thriller film directed by Tinu Suresh Desai and produced by Vashu Bhagnani. The film stars Akshay Kumar as Jaswant Singh Gill, a mining engineer who led a daring rescue mission to save 65 miners trapped in a flooded coal mine in Raniganj, West Bengal, in 1989.
The film opens with the mine disaster, which traps 232 miners underground. Gill, who is known for his innovative ideas and his dedication to his work, is called in to lead the rescue mission. He devises a plan to build a steel capsule and drop it into the mine to rescue the miners one by one. The mission is extremely risky, but Gill is determined to save the miners' lives.
Despite facing many challenges, including opposition from government officials and the media, Gill and his team are able to successfully complete the rescue mission. They rescue 65 miners, but six miners perish in the accident. Gill's heroic efforts earn him the sobriquet "Capsule Gill."
Mission Raniganj is a well-made film with a powerful story and a strong performance from Akshay Kumar. Kumar is perfectly cast as Gill, and he conveys the character's determination, courage, and compassion with great conviction. The film also features a good supporting cast, including Parineeti Chopra, Jamil khan , Kumud Mishra, Ravi Kishan, Pawan Malhotra and others .
Director Tinu Suresh Desai does a good job of recreating the mine disaster and the rescue mission. The film is well-paced and suspenseful, and it maintains a good balance between drama and action. However, the film does suffer from some flaws, such as a predictable plot and some over-the-top scenes.
Overall, Mission Raniganj is a good film with a strong message of hope and resilience. It is a must-watch for fans of Akshay Kumar and for anyone who enjoys a good thriller.
