For Akshay Kumar fans and to get a flashback to 70s Calcutta and the Chasnala Mines disaster and Gill who save many souls, a story that deserves to be shouted from the rooftops and not left forgotten in the footnotes of history.
Movie is sincere and Akshay does all the heavy lifting as usual but could have been much better and more authentic.
Kaala Paththar - the Yash Chopra 1979 commercial hit with Amitabh, Shashi and Shatru - while not exactly a disaster movie does the mines backdrop and authenticity much better and obviously commercial Bollywood drama value is much higher in KP thanks to the legendary Salim-Javed
Raniganj is well-intentioned but the hoo-aah jingoism, standard patriotic background music, stiff dialogues,some over the top dramatic moments that are not quite on the money etc etc - all make this a good effort but not a memorable great movie.
It is definitely sad that Gill simply gets a flickering 30 secs of old footage at the end with not even a good write-up.....unacceptable!!!!!
Worth a watch and as I mentioned above - for alll of us millions of Akshay fans......go Akshay !!!!! One more notch in your resume and screw the BO collections !!!!
Great addition by Netflix .......🙏🙏🙏🙏
