'Mission Raniganj' Final Worldwide Box Office Collection

Mumbai, November 10 - Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar's rescue thriller Mission Raniganj: The Great Bharat Rescue has almost completed its theatrical run with underwhelming box office numbers given the star cast it got featured.

Directed by Tinu Suresh Desai, "Mission Raniganj" was the least promoted theatrical film of Akshay Kumar and with less to no hype, the movie opened at 2.80 crores net. The opening of the movie was one of the lowest ever for an Akshay Kumar-starrer. The movie did show some growth over the first weekend but wasn't enough as the collection remained low.



"Mission Raniganj" got mixed to positive reception from the critics and audiences which kept it in theaters and after 5 weeks, the movie scored over 34 crores net collection. Though the box office numbers of the film are no way near the potential of the Akshay Kumar-starrer it is still respectable given the low opening.

Produced by Pooja Entertainment, the film is currently playing in around 100 shows which will be reduced to almost zero after the release of Salman Khan's "Tiger 3" on November 12. It will finish its box office run with a worldwide collection of around 46 crores against the production budget of approx. 55 crores.

Here is the final box office breakdown of Mission Raniganj



India Net Collection - 34.20 Cr. Approx.

India Gross Collection - 40.40 Cr.

Overseas Collection - 5.60 Cr. (estimated)



Worldwide Collection - 46.00 Cr.

Box Office Verdict - Flop

"Mission Raniganj" is a missed opportunity given the fact that it was released after the super-hit box office success of Akshay's "OMG 2". The movie failed to generate any hype due to almost zero promotion and perhaps the wrong release timing.
