The Kashmir Files box office collection: Vivek Agnihotri’s movie falls against RRR, grosses Rs 211.83 crore

The film is expected to grow a little over the weekend before petering out in the weekdays. Whatever the film’s final total, it has managed to confound even the most liberal predictions with its box office performance.

The movie stars Anupam Kher, Darshan Kumar, Mithun Chakraborty, and Pallavi Joshi.

The Kashmir Files is a huge box office success despite middling reviews, riding on primarily strong word-of-mouth promotion. The Indian Express’ film critic Shubhra Gupta gave it 1.5 stars. She wrote, “With all its propagandist verve, and cementing the current dispensation’s favoured discourse, it does manage to tap into the grief of the displaced Pandits. What stays with us are the flashes of genuine pain that envelopes Pushkar Nath (Anupam Kher in a credible turn, even if some of his portions are overwrought), damaged and suffering from dementia, but who has never forgotten his beloved Habba Kadal. He is never able to go home again.”
