Hyderabad: Two significant films made their entry to the big screens on October 6, resulting in stiff competition at the box office. Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar's film Mission Raniganj: The Great Bharat Rescue hit the theatres on Friday alongside Bhumi Pednekar's Thank You For Coming. Despite witnessing a clash, Mission Raniganj maintained its stand and is way ahead of Bhumi's film at the box office.
Akshay Kumar is back on the silver screen after portraying the character of messenger of Lord Shiva in OMG 2. This time, the superstar is portrayed as a brave and sincere mining engineer Jaswant Singh Gill in Mission Raniganj, who rescued 65 trapped miners at Raniganj Coalfields in West Bengal in 1989. Directed by Tinu Suresh Desai, the disaster drama opened with a fair amount collecting Rs 2.8 crore nett at the domestic box office on day 1, as reported by industry tracker Sacnilk.
