is a 2023 Indian Hindi-language disaster thriller film that chronicles one of the most remarkable industrial rescue operations in human history. Directed by Tinu Suresh Desai and produced by Pooja Entertainment, the cinematic venture brings to light the harrowing real-life events of the 1989 Raniganj Coalfields collapse in West Bengal. Starring Akshay Kumar and Parineeti Chopra , the film serves as a tribute to the late Jaswant Singh Gill , a brave and innovative mining engineer who single-handedly designed a strategy to save 65 trapped miners from a flooded coal shaft.

The real-life incident that inspired the film occurred on the night of November 13, 1989. The night shift of 232 miners were working in a 320-foot-deep mine at the Mahabir Colliery. A planned explosion to excavate coal had an unforeseen consequence; it cracked the underground water table, causing a massive and sudden influx of water. As the mine began to flood rapidly, 161 miners who were near the lifts managed to escape to safety, but 71 miners working deeper in the mine were left stranded. Miraculously, six of them were rescued in a separate effort, leaving 65 miners trapped in a small, elevated section of the mine, with the water level rising and the oxygen supply quickly depleting.
