Akshay Kumar & Parineeti Chopra’s Mission Raniganj movie review

Nobody really knows about the incident of the miners being trapped in a dark hole in the small industrial town of Raniganj, West Bengal. Akshay Kumar’s Mission Raniganj talks about the resilience and dedication of the miners. People are aware of the armed forces contribution to the nation and that their lives are always in danger. But not many are actually aware of the risky lives led by the miners?

Mission Raniganj is an engaging film based on real incidents and that is what works for the audience. With minute details on research and not trying to glamorise a serious happening makes the film stand out.

The story is on what happened in Raniganj, West Bengal, in 1989 when the coal mine got flooded. And how Additional Chief Mining Engineer Jaswant Singh Gill (Akshay Kumar) along with his team evacuates 65 mine workers. It is about how these brave miners never gave up hope and continued to fight for their survival.
