An upcoming survival thriller movie in Hindi, titled Mission Raniganj: The Great Bharat Rescue, will be directed by Tinu Suresh Desai and made by Pooja Entertainment. It was written by Vipul K. Rawal and is based on the collapse of the West Bengali Raniganj Coalfields in 1989. Akshay Kumar and Parineeti Chopra are the movie's stars.

Capsule Gill and The Great Indian Rescue were the first working titles for Mission Raniganj. Mission Raniganj: The Great Bharat Rescue was ultimately chosen.

Principal photography started in July 2022 and completed in August 2023 with a song. Post-production work then took place. The movie is slated for release on October 6, 2023.

Development

Under the auspices of their company Pooja Entertainment, Vashu Bhagnani, Jackky Bhagnani, and Deepshikha Deshmukh announced the movie. It is based on the life of Jaswant Singh Gill, who saved 65 miners during the collapse of the Raniganj Coalfields in West Bengal in 1989.

The Great Indian Rescue was the new title given to the movie after Capsule Gill at first. Mission Raniganj: The Great Bharat Rescue became the new name with the publication of the poster in September 2023.

Release Date

The movie's poster was made public on September 6, 2023. The date of release is slated for October 6, 2023. On September 7, 2023, the movie's teaser was revealed.

Storyline

East India Company employees John Sumner and Suetonius Grant Heatly made the discovery of Raniganj Coalmine in 1774. The mine is located in the Asansol and Durgapur subdivisions of Paschim Bardhaman district of West Bengal. The two men received a permit from Lord Warren Hastings to begin mining coal there, and so coal mining in India got its start. Alexander & Co. started regular mining at Raniganj in 1820, and for the most of the 19th and 20th centuries, Raniganj was the nation's top coal producer. 

Mining was done in a hasty fashion back then. The mine walls and ceilings at the time were unsupported by pillars, and every coal vein had been mined to the fullest extent possible. 

To tear down coal barriers, the miners set off a series of explosives on November 13, 1989.

The explosion caused the mine structure to tremble, and a nearby wall in an underground space cracked. Six miners perished as a result of the water coming in due to this breach. The 65 miners who were inside the lift became stuck, but those who were close to it were lifted up to safety.It was difficult to rescue the trapped miners because the water level was increasing swiftly and the mine structure was unstable. 

A young and courageous mine engineer from IIT Dhanbad, Yashwant Singh Gill, saved the day when everyone else had given up hope. 

Gill dug a brand-new borehole and dropped a six-foot-tall, 21-inch-diameter iron capsule inside of it. He raised each of the 65 miners one by one after lowering and lifting the capsule with a 12-tonne crane. Over 2,000 people observed Gill's 6-hour-long rescue effort while it was conducted. 

Gill describes an experience that is impossible to describe after the last of the miners was saved. Coal India observes Rescue Day on November 16 every year to honor Gill and his bravery. The Sarvottam Jeevan Raksha Padak was given to him for his bravery by Ramaswamy Venkataraman, the then-President of India.

Release Date

The movie, which will be released across the country on October 6, 2026, features Akshay Kumar, Parineeti Chopra, Kumud Mishra, and Ravi Kishan in the key roles. The story of a real-life hero being told on the big screen will be fascinating.
