Despite being opposed by some members of the public, the Kashmir Files have met success at the Box Office. After earning Rs. 18- 20 crores during its first week, it has now earned over Rs. 118 crore in only 8 days. This also happened to be a huge feat for us because this was basically out of syllabus and this was something we were expecting given our experience with similar movies like these before hand. Every single screen that’s been exhibiting Kashmir Files are doing well including those who are in East India, Western India and even Southern India -…
Bachchan Paandey, a movie starring Akshay Kumar among others, did not screen in many theaters due to his fame. Despite being fewer than other films released at the same time, it made more money per theater. In comparison to The Kashmir Files starring Anupam Kher and having higher theater attendance rates when looking at total revenue generated per property – Bachchan Paandey performed better because some shows were completely sold out. Yes, the number is quite good considering all factors – but this biggie needed a start of Rs. 20 crore (at least) to make an impactful debut despite stiff…

In this box office report, we take a look at the opening day collections of Bachchhan Paandey while comparing it to Akshay Kumar’s past releases. On Day 1 alone, it has collected Rs. 13.25 cr which make it his tenth highest opening day grosser. Despite all the hype and promotion, however, business…
Akshay Kumar-starring Bachchani Pane, which has been making headlines because of its massive advertising campaign that has taken over all corners of India, finally released on Friday. The film received mixed reviews from audiences upon its first screening but it was well-received enough to open on a decent note. Still, last week’s release – Kashmir Files – continued to show in cinemas across the country and will undoubtedly take away some viewers from this Farhad Samji-directed venture. In this box office report, we take a look at the opening day collections of Bachchhan Paandey while comparing the same to previous…
Vivek Agnihotri’s The Kashmir Files, which was released on Friday, March 11th, has quickly become an audience favorite in theaters surpassing the other releases like Radhe Shyam, Gangubai Kathiawadi and Batman. In spite of being released on limited screens (650) across India it had a powerful opening weekend (Day 1). Due to its success from audiences through word-of-mouth the film increased their number of screens up to 3200 over this past weekend (Day 2) and made Rs. 8.50 crores more than they were projected for. Based on ticket sales alone, The Kashmir Files was widely anticipated – but clashing against…

Pushpaalecame a blockbuster thanks to those reactions – and why shouldn’t we assume that he’ll deliver another while placing them all under this headline? After all, everyone needed some relief from their bleak outlook on life after Sooryavanshi! With brilliant business still being had by Akshay Kumar then you know…
