minted Rs 4.50 crore and went on to add another Rs 4.85 crore on Sunday. The three-day total of Mission Raniganj stands at Rs 12.15 crore, reports Sacnilk.

The film ad around 18 per cent occupancy on Sunday. This rescue thriller is helmed by Tinu Suresh Desai and stars Akshay Kumar, Parineeti Chopra, Kumud Mishra and Pavan Malhotra in lead roles. Mission Raniganj is inspired from the real life story of late Jaswant Singh Gill, who led India's first successful coal mine rescue mission in November 1989.
Speaking about Mission Raniganj, Akshay had recently told PTI, “We are going through a very nice phase where people are doing all kinds of films and they are working. I have done both kinds of films (content and masala entertainers). Don't put pressure on the film (Mission Raniganj) by thinking that it will do business. I can do that kind of film (commercial) and get that kind of numbers also. But I am happy doing a film that brings a change in the society. When I made Toilet: Ek Prem Katha, everybody told me what kind of title this is. I was told, ‘Are you mad? Who makes a film on a subject like toilets?’ Please don't discourage me by thinking about what business it (my film) is going to do. Give me courage that at least these kinds of films are being made and we are showing it to our children."
Post this entertainer, Akshay Kumar will be seen in Soorarai Pottru remake, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, Sky Force and Hera Pheri 3. He will also shot a cameo for Rohit Shetty helmed
