Mission Raniganj Day 6 box office: Akshay Kumar-starrer declines, manages to collect Rs 16.9 crore

In an earlier chat with Times Now Navbharat, Akshay addressed the film’s failure and said, “It is not a commercial film. It has not earned as much as it should have earned. But I have come here knowing that the film has not done well, to own the film and say that this is one of my best films.”

Akshay’s OMG 2, which starred Pankaj Tripathi in the lead role, was surrounded in controversy when it released as the film received many modifications from the censor board. Now that the film has started streaming on Netflix, there is renewed interest in it and Akshay has said that he chose to go ahead with the same version that went in theatres out of respect for the CBFC.

He recently spoke to ANI and questioned if anyone has dared to make a film on sex education and masturbation in India. He said, “I made that film (OMG 2) for children. It is a film to be shown to children. Unfortunately, it cannot be shown because it was given an adult film certificate and there is nothing adult in it.”
