The recent release of The Kashmir Files has been at the heart of controversy for an ever-growing audience. Opening up with a modest number, this soon changed when it garnered an explosive response from audiences. Now in its second week of release, the film continues to gain immense success and triumphs over other films, even those by superstar Salman Khan.
With Rs 26.20 crore grossed so far, it is now the fourth highest ever second Sunday grosser after beating Bajrangi Bhaijaan that made 24.05 crores and Tiger Zinda Hai (22.23 crores). It also surpassed Aamir Khan’s PK (21.85 crores) and Padmaavat (20 crores) among others after taking an impressive sum of Rs 18 crore on its first day!
Regardless, the earnings of The KashmirFiles have yet to come close to those seen in Baahubali 2 – The Conclusion (Rs. 34.5 crores), Dangal (Rs. 32.04 crores), or even Sanju (Rs. 28.05 crores). Thus far, however, it has earned Rs. 167 crore as well as an enjoyment from spectators who are eagerly anticipating its continued success over time against newer releases like Bachchhan Paandey this Friday that poses a threat for long-term earnings based off current trade predictions .
