    Really wonderful

    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.....

    Nice direction

    Mission Raniganj has caught the eye of moviegoers since it seems to be a mashup of many genres. The mixture of action, biography, and drama guarantees an engaging and entertaining watching experience. The story's appeal lies in its realistic depiction of the hazardous and often fatal profession of mining. There is a palpable feeling of urgency and suspense around the rescue attempt for the 65 trapped miners. The casting selections, including big names like Akshay Kumar and Parineeti Chopra, are interesting, as well. Tinu Suresh Desai, a director with a track record for generating captivating storylines, is at the helm of the film.......

    I wish Jaspinder Singh Gill was alive

    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.

    Brilliant edge of the seat experience!!

    This is one of the rarest gems from the Indian cinema. A real story which is inspiring and courageous in itself and is wonderfully showcased in the film.

    The storytelling is so engaging, a totally edge of the seat experience, an absolutely no nonsense film, but not at all boring. One will literally feel like being a part of the film while watching it.

    It's about a successful rescue mission of 65 miners trapped in a flooded situation whose plan is made and led by Jaswant Singh Gill, a mining engineer.

    The performances, especially by Akshay Kumar is one of his finest, I actually recalled his performance in Kesari; absolutely natural and convincing. The supporting cast was the perfect choice too; Ravi Kishan was a lovely presence a miner; Kumud Mishra, Pavan Malhotra, Varun Bhadola were all amazing and you will recognise all the actors from here and there.

    There are a couple of songs; I really loved the first song; it was a wedding dance number by Akshay; and what a lovely performance; the movie just took off thereon.

    It's a must watch film. Watch it to witness the courageous act of a mining engineer who also received the honour for being the Best Life Saver and it's showcased in an utmost sincere, engaging manner.

    Must watch for all

    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.
