The Kashmir Files box office: Anupam Kher starrer enters 200 crore club, beats Sooryavanshi lifetime biz

The Kashmir Files wave hit the box office hard with surprise. The film surprised everyone with its unfathomable box office numbers. Anupam Kher starrer entered the 100 crore club in just 8 days and now the film has entered the 200 crore club with full glory in the third week. By doing so, The Kashmir Files has beaten Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif superhit film, Sooryavanshi which also brought in crazy numbers after the theatres were reopened. Having said that, the film has become the second highest-grossing film.

The Kashmir Files collected Rs 10.03 crores on Wednesday, making the grand total to Rs 200.13 crores at the box office. It can be treated as an achievement for The Kashmir Files but one has to keep in mind that when Sooryavanshi was released, the theatres were running in 50% occupancy, unlike Vivek Agnihotri directorial venture. The film that talks about the dilemma of Kashmiri Pandits moved everyone in the nation. Even the Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi praised the film and the director.

Friday: Rs 19.15 crores

Earlier, in an interview, Vivek revealed that he has been receiving threats from people after the film. He said, “Yes, there have been threats. Recently two boys barged into our office when my wife and I were not there. Only a manager, a middle-aged lady was here. They pushed her with the door, she fell they asked for me and then fled. I never spoke about this incident because I didn’t want such elements to get any publicity. I told them not to bother with the security. But they said they have to.”
