The beautifully shot movie starring Anupam Kher, Virendra Agnihotri directed film The Kashmir Files released last week on Friday and has already seen success at the box office. Opening with a good start, the earnings of the film began to rise after every day releasing in theaters.
Now on its sixth day, it managed to earn Rs. 19.05 cr which is higher than previous films that were released after pandemic struck India such as Sooryavanshi by Akshay Kumar with only collecting Rs 9.55 cr which was the highest first Wednesday grosser among them all (followed closely by The Kashmir Files). Among those post-pandemic releases were two others made by Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh which earned Rs 6.21 cr and 5.67 respectively but are not even close when compared against The Kashmir Files’ earning power.
As of now, The Kashmir Files has enjoyed the audiences’ favour for two weeks and continues to be shown in packed theaters. In fact, trade predictions state that the business of the film is likely to see further growth in collections over its second weekend at theaters. If the film continues with this current momentum, estimates say it could go well past Rs 120 crore at the end of its second weekend.
