On its opening day at the box office, Mission Raniganj is predicted to have a poor performance. On its opening day, the Akshay Kumar starrer - reportedly made with ₹55 crore - could bring in ₹3.50 crore India net.
Akshay Kumar’s last release, OMG 2, minted ₹221.25 crore worldwide. The movie, which was initially under storm due to its religious interpretations, had undergone a number of cuts - as suggested by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). The movie, which has Pankaj Tripathi in the leading role, was declared “Superhit”.
Prior to that, the last time Akshay Kumar experienced a superhit was with Rohit Shetty's Sooryavanshi in 2021. Before OMG 2, he released eight films that were duds, either financially or critically or both. Both Atrangi Re and Cuttputlli, which were made available on Disney+ Hotstar, failed to gain any traction with viewers.

While Bachchan Pandey flopped, Bell Bottom was a disaster. Both Raksha Bandhan and Samrat Prithviraj performed poorly at the Box Office. Ram Setu, which cost ₹150 crore to produce, barely raked ₹64 crore in revenue. Prior to OMG 2, Akshay's film Selfiee earned ₹24.6 crore globally. Emraan Hashmi also starred in the film, which was labelled a "Disaster".
Mission Raniganj reviews
The initial responses seem positive for Khiladi Kumar, who is looking to deliver back-to-back superhits. “Mission Raniganj is a very engaging and thrilling film that will keep you on the edge of your seats,” says Pinkvilla while adding that “the antagonist feels poorly written”.
“Akshay Kumar’s beard looks a bit unreal. But his performance packs a punch as expected,” says Bollywood Hungama. “His brilliant acting, dialogue delivery, and expressions as the mining engineer are impressive in the film,” says Zee News while praising AK.
