Mission Raniganj box office collection Day 1: Akshay Kumar starrer 'Mission Raniganj: The Great Bharat Rescue,' was released on October 6. The film's first-day collection reveals one of the weakest openings for any Akshay Kumar movie as it garnered single digit sum on its opening day.
On its initial day, the film managed to collect a modest ₹2.8 crore according to film industry tracker Sacnilk. This marks one of the weakest opening day figures for an Akshay Kumar film.
Akshay Kumar's previous film, 'OMG 2,' raked in double digit numbers, ₹10.26 crore on its opening day despite facing stiff competition from Sunny Deol's 'Gadar 2' both of which were released on the same day.
