An amazing rescue story. We need more movies like these. Whilst the world celebrates the Thai cave rescue, we have one in our backyard, which was never unheard of. Excellent direction, excellent portrayal of human emotions and as always Akshay Kumar shines. It also showed an era of India where profiteering trumped human lives and where petty politics considered human life as nothing. And then there is the power of few humans to turn around a story and save human lives. I would definitely recommend this movie to anyone. To celebrate humanity and to celebrate the spirit of a few good men. Must watch.
Uplifting!
Superb script, screenplay and acting by Akshay Kumar. ParineetiChopra role small but beautifully acted, she looked sweet and genuine. Great acting by everyone.
I have been to many old coal mines which are closed now and watching how they were shown and picturized especially the water scene and later rescue gives goosebumps. Thrilling experience to watch in big screen.
This movie must be watched in theater to feel the impact.
Story flowed smoothly . Best part is it's not a fiction story but a true story which makes it very inspirational and uplifting that we have such brave 💪 countrymen!.

Audiences' attention has been drawn to Mission Raniganj because it appears to be a film that mixes several genres. An exciting and interesting viewing experience is ensured by the blend of action, biography, and drama. The story's exploration of the difficult and deadly world of mining is what makes it so interesting, and it's all based on real occurrences. The rescue operation for the 65 trapped miners keeps spectators on the edge of their seats with its sense of urgency and suspense. Furthermore, the casting choices are fascinating, featuring such well-known actors as Akshay Kumar and Parineeti Chopra. Tinu Suresh Desai, a director with a track record for crafting compelling stories, is at the helm of the film.....
In addition to being an entertaining story, the film's focus on rescuing trapped workers sheds light on a crucial but frequently disregarded aspect of the mining business. This shows how difficult it is for people to work in such dangerous environments. The film is made all the more compelling by its portrayal of Jaswant Singh Gill, a mining engineer who was the driving force behind the rescue operation. Akshay Kumar, a talented actor who can convincingly portray a wide range of characters, seems ideal for this role. He has a long track record of acting success, so seeing how he portrays this historical figure should be intriguing....
The movie sticks to the point and you can't miss even a single minute of it. The ensemble cast of actors have done wonderful work. Akshay Kumar shines as Jaswant Gill. The movie is high on emotions and you cry at times. Despite all odds, Mr Gill and his team rescues 65 miners. It shows team effort and leadership. Brilliantly made and researched. Thank you to director Tinu Desai and Akshay Kumar for making every engineer feel proud. Jameel Khan, Ravi Kishan, Kumud Mishra and Pawan Malhotra have done great work. The panic which anyone would go through if stuck in between death and life has been portrayed correctly. The team effort under the leadership of Jaswant Gill is what the world needs. Wow.. Simply Superb.
