Mission Raniganj vs Fukrey 3: A tale of two films
Mission Raniganj and Fukrey 3 are two films that belong to different genres and cater to different audiences. While Mission Raniganj is a serious action drama that revolves around a covert operation to rescue Indian hostages from a terrorist camp in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, Fukrey 3 is a light-hearted comedy that follows the misadventures of four friends who get involved in a scam involving a lottery ticket.
Both films were released on the same day (October 6) but had contrasting fortunes at the box office. While Fukrey 3 opened to positive reviews and word-of-mouth publicity, Mission Raniganj received mixed to negative reviews and poor word-of-mouth publicity. Fukrey 3 also benefited from the low ticket prices (Rs 99) on National Cinema Day (October 13), which boosted its collections significantly.
As per Sacnilk, Fukrey 3 has earned Rs 95.5 crore in India and Rs 119 crore worldwide till date. The film is inching closer to the Rs 100 crore mark in India and has already crossed the Rs 100 crore mark worldwide. The film has emerged as one of the biggest hits of the year and has proved that comedy films can still work wonders at the box office.
On the other hand, Mission Raniganj has been one of the biggest disappointments of the year and has proved that star power alone cannot guarantee success at the box office. The film has been rejected by the audience who found it boring, predictable, and unrealistic. The film has also been criticized for its poor direction, weak script, and lack of logic.
What went wrong with Mission Raniganj?
Mission Raniganj was expected to be a blockbuster hit as it marked the return of Akshay Kumar to the big screen after almost two years. The actor had last appeared in Good Newwz (2019) which was a huge success. The actor had also created a lot of buzz around Mission Raniganj by releasing its teaser on his birthday (September 9) and announcing that it would be his first theatrical release after the pandemic.
However, the film failed to live up to the expectations and turned out to be a damp squib. The film suffered from several flaws that hampered its performance at the box office. Some of the reasons why Mission Raniganj flopped are:
- Poor timing: The film was released at a time when the COVID-19 situation was still not under control and many people were hesitant to visit the theatres. The film also faced stiff competition from Fukrey 3, which had a wider appeal and a loyal fan base. The film also clashed with the IPL matches, which affected its evening and night shows.
- Lack of novelty: The film had nothing new to offer to the audience who had already seen many spy thrillers in the past. The film also borrowed heavily from Hollywood films like Mission Impossible and Zero Dark Thirty, which made it look unoriginal and cliched. The film also lacked the thrill and suspense that are essential for a spy thriller.
- Weak story and screenplay: The film had a weak story and screenplay that failed to engage the audience. The film had many loopholes and inconsistencies that made it hard to believe. The film also had many unnecessary scenes and songs that dragged the pace and length of the film. The film also had a weak climax that left the audience disappointed.
- Poor direction and execution: The film had poor direction and execution that failed to do justice to the potential of the subject. The film had poor editing, cinematography, sound design, and background score that made it look dull and boring. The film also had poor action sequences that looked fake and unrealistic. The film also had poor dialogue that lacked punch and impact.
