In Mission Raniganj, Akshay Kumar portrayed the role of mining engineer Jaswant Singh Gill, who put his life in danger in order to rescue the lives of 65 miners trapped at Raniganj Coalfields in West Bengal in 1989. Helmed by Tinu Suresh Desai, the disaster flick opened with Rs 2.8 crore nett at the domestic box office, as reported by industry tracker Sacnilk. Early estimates by Sacnilk suggest that the film is likely to witness a drop on day 4. The rescue drama may bring in Rs 1.57 crore nett on the fourth day, bringing its four-day total to Rs 13.7 crore nett at the Indian box office.
Thank You For Coming, on the other hand, did not have a fair start at the box office. The Bumi Pednekar-starring film earned just Rs 0.8 crore nett on its first day despite good reviews from the viewers. As per early estimates reported by Sacnilk, the sex-comedy film made only Rs 0.85 crore nett on day 4. With this, the movie's four-day total may now stand at Rs 5.14 crore nett. Directed by Karan Boolani, the film also stars Shehnaaz Gill, Dolly Singh, Kusha Kapila, Shibani Bedi, Pradhuman Singh Mall, Natasha Rastogi, Gautmik, Sushant Divgikar, Saloni Daini, Dolly Ahluwalia, Karan Kundrra and Anil Kapoor.
