Day 4 box-office collection of 'The Kashmir Files' beats pandemic-biggies 'Sooryavanshi' & 'Gangubai Kathiawadi'

Director Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri's 'The Kashmir Files' has taken over the box-office collection in the domestic market.

According to film analyst and movie critic Taran Adarsh, the highly-acclaimed film has broken records held by previous Bollywood blockbusters pre- and post-pandemic.

During the pandemic, 'The Kashmir Files' has shown promising Day 4 box-office results, worth Rs 15.05 crore.


While Alia Bhatt-starrer 'Gangubai Kathiawadi' - which released last month on February 25 - made Rs 8.19 crore on Day 4, Akshay Kumar's cop action film 'Sooryavanshi' made Rs 14.51 crore. Ranveer Singh's sports drama '83' had made Rs 7.29 crore on the fourth day.

Before Covid hit, Ajay Devgn's 'Tanhaji' had earned Rs 13.75 crore, and Vicky Kaushal-starrer 'Uri' had done just Rs 10.51 crore, both on Day 4.


Adarsh said that the movie showed a record-smashing spree on Monday when most films crash and fall.

He further said that the movie's box-office performance on Monday was similar to that of Sunday.

The movie has done a total collection of Rs 42.20 crore in four days since its release last week on Friday (March 11). On the release day, it made Rs 3.55 crore. During the weekend, the movie minted Rs 8.50 crore (Saturday), and Rs 15.10 crore (Sunday).

Adarsh had earlier said that the film showed phenomenal growth of 325.35 percent on Day 3 compared to its performance in the box office on Day 1.

"'The Kashmir Files' is a smash-hit… on course to be a blockbuster," he wrote.


Meanwhile, the movie has been made tax-free by eight states so far. Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Tripura, Goa, Karnataka, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Haryana have exempted entertainment tax from the movie.

Written and directed by Agnihotri, the film depicts the exodus of Kashmiri Pandits from the valley in the 1990s. Produced by Zee Studios, it stars Anupam Kher, Darshan Kumar, Mithun Chakraborty and Pallavi Joshi among others.
