In a race against time, when all conventional engineering methods failed, Gill came up with an escape plan to rescue the miners. Akshay Kumar’s film ‘Mission Raniganj: The Great Bharat Rescue’ was released in theatres on October 6 in theatres.
The film, helmed by Tinu Suresh Desai, will start streaming on the OTT giant Netflix on December 1. The movie has also been submitted for the Oscars 2024. However, being an independent submission, ‘Mission Raniganj’ will not be eligible to compete for the Best Foreign Film Award.
