As estimated by early numbers, The Kashmir Files has earned over Rs. 232 crore at the box office after nearly two weeks of release. This low-budget thriller generated approximately 3 to 4 crores in ticket sales during its third Monday – an expected drop of 20% from last week due to robust interest over the weekend despite heavy competition. There are not many other films releasing these days which will pose a great threat to this profitable enterprise. After reaching and surpassing 250crores within three weeks it is likely that this production will finish just shy of 260 crores total earnings after hitting 268-275crores making it one of the most lucrative films in recent years.
The movie has been performing well at the box office for a variety of reasons- whether it be through theaters or multiplexes- and has garnered attention among quite a few demographics. Plenty of people who are not accustomed to Hindi cinema have also made their way out to see The Kashmir Files, which is certainly an encouraging sign that would imply these same people will spend time viewing other recent Hindi films in the future.
Nevertheless, The Kashmir Files has helped revive theaters by being one of the highest earning movies within this past year. By breaking records previously set by phenomena such as Sooryavanshi, starring Akshay Kumar and Ajay Devgn, while introducing Ranveer Singh with Rohit Shetty’s direction; every entertainment industry professional knows they can depend on some truly positive outcomes in the coming days.
