Mission Raniganj, starring Akshay Kumar in the lead, was released on Friday and clashed with Bhumi Pednekar's Thank You For Coming. Although Akshay's film is leading the race at the box office, both flicks have slowed down after their first weekend. Check out how much the movies are slated to bring in on Wednesday.

Hyderabad: Two major films of completely distinct genres hit the theatres on October 6, resulting in stiff competition at the box office. Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar's Mission Raniganj: The Great Bharat Rescue was released on the same day alongside Bhumi Pednekar's Thank You For Coming. While the flicks have had a decent start at the domestic box office, both have now gotten slow in the collections after their first weekend. Let's check how much the two films will earn on their sixth day at the box office in India.

In the rescue drama Mission Raniganj, Akshay Kumar essayed the role of mining engineer Jaswant Singh Gill, who risked his life to save the lives of 65 trapped miners at Raniganj Coalfields, West Bengal in 1989. Directed by Tinu Suresh Desai, the disaster movie opened with Rs 2.8 crore nett at the Indian box office, as reported by industry tracker Sacnilk. Early estimates by the portal indicate that the flick may bring in Rs 1.43 crore nett on the sixth day, taking its 6-day total to Rs 17.03 crore nett. Mission Raniganj also stars Bollywood actor Parineeti Chopra.

On the other hand, Thank You For Coming made only Rs 1.06 crore nett on its opening day despite good reviews from the viewers. According to early estimates reported by Sacnilk, the sex-comedy flick is likely to rake in Rs 0.4 crore nett on day 6. With this, the film's 6-day total is expected to stand at Rs 5.62 crore nett at the domestic box office. Helmed by Karan Boolani, the movie also features Shehnaaz Gill, Dolly Singh, Shibani Bedi, and Kusha Kapila in key roles.
