Mission Raniganj: The Great Bharat Rescue is a 2023 Indian Hindi-language disaster thriller that dramatizes one of the most successful coal mine rescue operations in history.
After the rescue, Gill refused to call himself a hero. In interviews, he credited the trapped miners’ discipline and the surface team’s stamina. He returned to his desk at DGMS and rarely spoke of the event publicly until the 2023 film brought him back into the spotlight. He passed away in November 2019, but his legacy endures.
While everyone else discussed the impossibility of the rescue, Gill engineered a solution that had never been attempted before in India: creating a steel capsule (dubbed the "Gill Capsule") to extract men one by one through a narrow borehole.
