    'The Kashmir Files' crosses 50 crore mark at the box office

    Anupam, Pallavi Joshi, Mithun Chakraborty, Darshan Kumaar, and others feature in 'The Kashmir Files,' which is about the massacre of Kashmiri Pandits in 1990.


    Digital Desk: 'The Kashmir Files,' directed by Vivek Agnihotri, is unstoppable at the box office. The film, starring Anupam Kher, has cracked the 50 crore club after grossing Rs 18 crore on day five of its release.

    Taran Adarsh, an Indian cinema critic and trade analyst, reported the film's box office haul on Twitter.

    The film, which earned Rs 3.55 crore on its first day, saw a surge in attendance on Saturday, earning Rs 8.50 crore. The film made even more money on Sunday and Monday, earning Rs 15.10 crore and Rs 15.05 crore, respectively.

    The film earned Rs 18 crore on Tuesday, bringing its total to Rs 60.20 crore. This daily double-digit figure has smashed post-pandemic records set by prior Bollywood flicks.

    Anupam, Pallavi Joshi, Mithun Chakraborty, Darshan Kumaar, and others feature in 'The Kashmir Files,' which is about the massacre of Kashmiri Pandits in 1990.

    Several states, including Uttar Pradesh, Tripura, Goa, Haryana, and Uttarakhand, have declared the film tax-free.

    According to exhibitor Akshaye Rathi, this is the first time a low-budget film like The Kashmir Files has dominated the box office. He claims, "This type of enthusiasm for a small film may be occurring for the first time. I don't think I've ever seen a movie of this size, scale, and cast that hasn't just become a blockbuster but has also become a cultural moment. I haven't seen such a pull and demand for tickets, even for major motion pictures, in a long time. Consider the scale of the demand! The film had 400 screens on Friday and has expanded to 2,700 screens in only four days. As a result, showtimes and screens have proliferated."

    Akshaye goes on to explain why the film did so well at the box office. "What appears to be working for the picture is that it taps into the country's political situation and gives the public something that appeals to their political sensitivities and mood at the time. That is something that has piqued people's interest. People now want to suggest, discuss, and debate this film in addition to watching it. It is now often used in everyday discourse. People are uninterested in the film, whether they like it or not. Everyone in the country is either in favour of it or opposed to it. As a result, it has everyone's attention right now."
