The Vivek Agnihotri directorial The Kashmir Files starring Anupam Kher released two weeks ago. Since then, there has been no stopping the film at the box office. After opening on a modest note, the business of The Kashmir Files witnessed immense growth over its opening weekend and opening week. Now in its second week running, the film has managed to maintain its momentum drawing in a staggering Rs. 110.03 cr in week 2.
In this box office report, we take a look at the second Thursday collections of The Kashmir Files while comparing the same to previous releases. Collecting Rs. 7.20 cr, The Kashmir Files has managed to become the fourth all-time highest second Thursday grosser, beating the previous releases like the Ajay Devgn starrer Tanhaji – The Unsung Warrior that collected Rs. 7.02 cr, the Shahid Kapoor starrer Kabir Singh that collected Rs. 6.72 cr, and the Salman Khan starrer Bajrangi Bhaijaan that collected Rs. 6.03 cr. However, the business of The Kashmir Files on its second Thursday does not manage to surpass other releases like PK that collected Rs. 14.05 cr, Baahubali 2 – The Conclusion that collected Rs. 12.75 cr, and Dangal that collected Rs. 9.12 cr.
Currently, The Kashmir Files continues to run in theatres, but with the mega release RRR slated to hit screens today, the film is likely to see a dip in collections. Despite this, trade predictions remain optimistic claiming that The Kashmir Files will maintain its run at the box office despite the competition.
