Mission Raniganj’s Box Office Collection Disappoints, Raises Questions About Akshay Kumar’s Choices

Bollywood’s beloved Khiladi, Akshay Kumar, may have struck gold with “Oh My God 2,” but his latest release, “Mission Raniganj,” has hit a roadblock at the box office, raising concerns and questions about the star’s film choices.

“Mission Raniganj,” a survival thriller directed by Tinu Suresh Desai, opened to dismal figures at the box office, making it one of the lowest starts in recent memory for a film featuring a star hero. The lack of promotional buzz surrounding the movie from the outset left audiences largely unaware of its existence.

According to trade estimates, “Mission Raniganj” managed to collect somewhere between 2.5 to 3 crores nett on its opening day, a figure that can only be described as disastrous, especially for a movie headlined by a star of Akshay Kumar’s stature. What makes this situation even more perplexing is that the film garnered rave reviews from esteemed critics, who praised its storytelling and execution. However, the critical acclaim failed to translate into box office success.

This setback follows another lukewarm opening earlier this year when Akshay’s “Selfiee” could only muster a paltry 2.6 crores on its first day. “Mission Raniganj” has now compounded the challenges for the superstar, leading to discussions about his film choices and perceived over-exposure in the industry.

Some industry insiders have suggested that Akshay Kumar should consider steering clear of low-budget films, as they may not align with his star status and could be contributing to the lackluster box office performances. The buzz in the industry and among fans raises questions about whether the actor will take heed of these comments and reevaluate his selection of projects in the future.

It remains to be seen how Akshay Kumar, a versatile actor known for his choice of diverse roles, will respond to this recent turn of events. As fans and critics continue to dissect the performance of “Mission Raniganj” and its impact on his career, the star’s next moves in the world of Bollywood cinema will undoubtedly be watched with keen interest. Will he adapt to the changing dynamics of the industry, or will he stay his course? Only time will tell.
