Mission Raniganj collects a dismal Rs 2.85 crores nett on its opening day in India (Credit: Pooja Entertainment)
Akshay Kumar led Mission Raniganj, directed by Tinu Suresh Desai and co-starring Parineeti Chopra, Kumud Mishra, Ravi Kishan and many others took a ridiculously low start at the Indian box office as it collected just Rs 2.75 – 3 crores nett on day 1. The collection almost matches Akshay Kumar‘s last full fledged film, Selfiee’s opening day numbers and this is certainly not what the makers would’ve wanted. The survival drama is getting praise for how it’s made but it’s not getting converted into good theatrical collections which are absolutely necessary for the film’s prospects.
Just Customary Growth Over The Weekend Won’t Be Enough For Mission Raniganj At The Indian Box Office After An Opening Of Under Rs 3 Crores
The opening day numbers are so low that even with superior content, Mission Raniganj can’t get the flight that it is looking for. There shall be customary growth over the weekend but whether that growth is enough for the film to get the much needed momentum that it requires is to be seen. There can be some optimism if the Akshay Kumar starrer manages to better its Friday numbers on Monday. That would help it make gains on National Cinema Day next weekend. Due to no competition from new releases, Mission Raniganj is the most preferred Indian movie choice this weekend in India.
The day wise nett box office collections of Mission Raniganj are as under:-
| Day | India Nett Collections |
|---|---|
| 1 | Rs 2.85 crores |
| Total | Rs 2.85 crores nett in 1 day |
This week also saw the release of a couple of other films, Thank You For Coming and Dono. They aren’t performing too well with films like Fukrey 3 and Jawan recording better collections in their 2nd and 5th week respectively. Overall, it is among the dullest Fridays for the Indian Film Industry this year.
