About Mission Raniganj

Hindi cinema continues to tell untold stories of unsung heroes that always deserved to be celebrated and be inspired by. The recent example is the film Mission Raniganj: The Great Bharat Rescue that stars Akshay Kumar and Parineeti Chopra in lead roles. It also stars fine talents like Ravi Kishan, Pawan Malhotra, Kumud Mishra, Jameel Khan, and Dibyendu Bhattacharya. It’s directed by Tinu Suresh Desai, who made Rustom back in 2016, another film based on a true story.

His next film seven years later is about the man we all know as Jaswant Gill aka Capsule Gill. If one sees the the trailer, or the movie that’s now running in cinemas, it’s about the story of 65 workers trapped in a mine 350 feet below ground level. It’s also the story of Jaswant Gill, who single-handedly rescued all of them in what remains the nation’s biggest rescue operation.

What exactly happened?

On 13 November 1989, a series of blasts broke the Mahabir Colliery in Raniganj, West Bengal, when someone accidentally touched the upper seam of the mine, which led to heavy flooding, according to reports.
